I heard from my doctor’s office this morning that I have an appointment set with the new doctor (oncologist) this Wednesday morning.  I feel better now that the wheels are in motion.  In the meantime, I have been overwhelmed by the support and love shown by you, my friends, family, and “family of choice.”  I did not cry over the initial diagnosis, but there were some happy tears as I read your responses to my previous post.  Thank you!  That means more than I can say.

Bad (good) jokes help, too.  From LONG-time friend, Becky Maus:  why do they call it a HYS-terectomy? It should be a HERS-terectomy……  😉  I do plan to continue posting silly things on Facebook, and political things (thanks for bearing with me, those of you whose views differ), as well as these updates.  As I think I’ve heard said elsewhere, I have cancer (still seems odd to write that or say it), but I am not cancer.  Love and peace to all of you!
