As some of you may know, I was in the hospital with a major health issue on Saturday July 13th, 2019.
I spent a very long day in the Mt. Carmel ER. The clock started ticking at 8:30 a.m. and did not stop until 1:35 am Sunday morning. --Yes, for those of you who are counting, a whopping total of 17 hours and 5 minutes.
Let's just say, it wasn't an E ride at Disney World. It was a roller coaster alright but not the one you want to sign up for. (LOL)
After a CT scan, I was given the news that the scan revealed two masses in those "Lovely" female parts.
One mass located in the right ovary, and one located in the uterus. After a long extended weekend, my Surgical Team was able to perform an emergency full hysterectomy on Tuesday July 16th, 2019.
Unfortunately, I won the BLUE RIBBON, for having the largest amount of fluid pulled from my abdomen that my Oncologist/Surgeon has ever scene. A total of 13 ml.
After surgery, I was told that both masses looked to be cancerous, but a final diagnosed would be performed by the Pathologist.
After three days of recovery on the Oncology floor, I was given the diagnosis of Stage 3 Uterine cancer.
On Friday July 19th, I was released from the hospital with a mixed bag of emotions. I had a complete hysterectomy, but I was still dealing with Cancer.
Follow me, on my journey, in dealing with this disease. I'm going to try and give you a glimpse from beginning to end. Along the way I want to journal and share my steps to recovery.
My next post is always up in the air, due to how I feel. I plan on posting my second post in 48 hours.

Prayers for you Jen����
