Update

Well, I was scheduled for surgery on Monday, June 14th. On Saturday, June 12th I woke up and jumped in the shower. As I was showering my incision seemed more tender than normal. I looked in the mirror and saw a yellow "pocket." I squeezed it and it started to ooze. GREAT!! An infection...3 weeks after surgery? Seriously?

Out of the shower and on the phone with the surgeon. Of course he immediately cancelled surgery and called in a prescription for some antibiotics. He told me to come see him early Monday morning so he could see what was going on.

Monday morning John and I were greeted by my Dr. He's such a pleasant man, always smiling and greets us with enthusiam. He said, Hello again Gang...lol. Had me lay on my right side on the table so he could examine the "girls" again. I told him there were a couple of stitches that never dissolved and maybe that was the reason the site became infected. He looked everything over and said it looked very good and then pulled out the two remaining stitches. I thought they were going to hurt...but it wasn't bad.

Surgery rescheduled for June 21...the day before my birthday. So hopefully it will be the first day of a new life. My re-birth. I just want to get all this "C" stuff behind me and move on. I know I will "forever" be a cancer patient...I just want to get through the chemotherapy and radiation. So this next surgery (hopefully the last) and then chemo about 4 weeks later.

I agreed to take part in a clinical study. I am not guaranteed to receive the trial medication, but even if I don't receive it my outcome will hopefully help the next person to be affected by Cancer.

I am actually feeling pretty well at the moment and have no complaints.

Just wanted to update you all and let you know what has been happening.
