We just got back from meeting with Dr. Morris. He went over the results of the CT scan, which showed that the cancer hasn't spread any further than the cervix, surrounding tissue, and vaginal wall. This was great news! Funny how your perspective changes in a weeks time...I never thought I'd be excited about Stage 2B Cervical Cancer! The treatment for this will be 5 weeks of radiation and chemo. I will have radiation Monday through Friday and chemo on Monday's. The plan is to start treatments the week of September 26. Next week, on Monday the 19th, I will have an intermediate procedure to move my ovaries up under my rib cage. The reason for this is so I will have a chance to harvest eggs in the future if we choose, and so I won't go into early menopause. This procedure will take place at Methodist Hospital and I will have to stay over night Monday night and possibly Tuesday. I will be taking the next 2 weeks off from work to recover from the procedure, and then to see how I handle radiation and chemo. From there, we will take things day by day. Thanks for everyone's support and prayers through this entire ordeal! We are so lucky to have such supportive family and friends!
