Funny Doctor...
Hi all!
Today we had our assessment about my cancer condition and it is called papillary serious carcinoma.
Surgery will be be performed hopefully in mid August, no diagnosis about the extent of the cancer until then. They will be removing my ovaries, uterous, fallopian tubes and cervix and lymh nodes via panniculectomy-hip to hip incision . The doctor will remove about 6 lbs. of fat tissue in my tummy at that time. This will allow him to better remove all the other organs which together are the size of my hand.My intestines will move into that spot won't they be happy more room to breath.
After surgery they will know more , the healing of the incision will take time and home care will likely be provided.
They were very thorough with their questions and examination of me so I feel I am good hands. The Juravinski Cancer Center in Hamilton, really is a friendly place, very kind and caring ! So for now we will continue on until we get our next dates, it's still a waiting game but we do have more answers.
Back on track weight wise, juicing is great, see if I can knock off more weight before the surgery.
My weight was the key factor in not doing a regular hysterectomy (too high a risk), now it's an absolute must with the cancer being present. I will have to meet with the anestheologist as well. This is a 4 hour surgery and I need to be in good shape emotionally and physically for this, he needs to know my patterns.
Enough about that I have ample reading material , feel confident about it all!
Have a great weekend all!
Love Birgie & Al
