Important Cancer Journey Dates

Okay, so I've probably talked about this before, but it bears repeating.  There are dates in my cancer journey that are significant to me.  Some people might think I'm making too much of this, but cancer IS kind of a big deal.  So here goes.

July 20, 2012:  the very first day I started getting sick from my last cycle, in a hotel bathroom in San Antonio.  Egh, that day was hot!

August 14, 2012:  feeling so light-headed from the amount of blood loss that I had to leave work and go to the ER.

August 16, 2012:  undergoing testing that was mostly uncomfortable, but worth it in the end.

August 24, 2012:  getting a call from Dr. Winfrey's office, telling me that I had uterine cancer.  The longest and most painful six and a half minutes of my life.

September 10, 2012:  meeting my wonderful oncologist Dr. Moxley for the first time.  She's amazing.

September 19, 2012:  hysterectomy at OU Medical Center.  Five life-altering hours under the knife.

October 4, 2012:  Dr. Moxley tells me I am at Stage 1a, Grade 2, and that no other treatment would be necessary.  I cried so many tears of joy that day, I can't even describe it.

So now you know.  :-)
