      I had my surgery Wed, My BF, Sister, and both sets of parents came to support me.  I didn't know if they would operate becasue I was having hypertension issues that could have stopped the process.  I waited one month to have the proceedure and now I have a 7inch scar, 3 inch scar below that and a very sore arm pit. 

       

      I went in for the mapping and boy does that radiation medicine burn..lol  All I could say was "Dayum"…4 injections and the tech thought the needle was the worse part…HA

      I woke up and was ready to go home.  The next couple of days were a little fuzzy, but I was verticle and moving as well as could be expected.  I was standing in line at the store Saturday and this man behind me asked me what happened.  I smiled and told him I was sky didving when I was clipped by a glider.  My mom giggled and he looked at me so strange.  They he said "noooo", I smiled and said "no"…I had cancer removed. 

       

      It's funny how making someone else smile, made three other people smile.  My amazing physician and his team did a great job, He feels he got it all, but now I am waiting on the pathology report from my lymph.  No matter what we go through, we are never alone.  God is good.

                Thanks Josh, and I will.  No matter the outcome of my Pathology report or my life for that matter, I will share my story and will be the best advocate I can be to bring awareness to this Cancer.  I realized after being diagnosed that so many people just don't understand the largest organ of the body makes this cancer so incredibly unpredictable for everyone.  No two cases are alike and from stage I to Stage V, it's a fight we will continue to fight for the rest of our lives here on earth.
