So, yesterday I had my ovaries and tubes removed and let me just say, it hurts. I delivered two kids, unmedicated, had a lumpectomy and my armpit cut open and this hurts a lot more! Which to me is just crazy! It's a little bitty cut near my belly button, what the hell?!!
Anyway, we met with my oncologist on Wednesday. Things are looking good. I will switch medications and may be start a new one, with some shitty side effects, but we will see.
I have really been trying to have a good attitude about all of this and some times I do. But other times I just get pissed, really, really pissed. But in an effort to embrace trying to be positive, I won't have to worry about ovarian cancer! So that is a plus, right?
I am not looking forward to menopause, but the bright side, no more pads or tampons! YAY! I am not looking forward to years of medicine with horrible side effects, but it's supposed to keep the cancer away so that is a good thing. Give a little to get a little.
So, I feel like I am slowly getting closer to the end of this journey, but in reality there will never be an end. It will always be there, always.
Keep strong. You are a amazing person and you can do this. A little pain now is better than dealing with more cancer down the road. Now is the time to catch up on shows and books. Take it easy and enjoy some rest. If you need to chat anytime I am here. We can be cranky together or happy.
