Beginnings


I feel like I've been given a new one...a new beginning.
We meet with my doctor on Wednesday to go over the final pathology results in more detail, and discuss any further care, but we were given the results over the phone and it sounds like good news. It was in fact ovarian cancer, but it was limited to the right ovary. Twenty-one lymph node biopsies have come back negative, as did biopsies on everything else they removed...which was pretty much everything else.

Looking forward to moving ahead again. There is still so much I want to do!

The little mantid is from my garden today -perched on my fingernail.

    The little guy is so cute, but I wouldn't dare to take him on my finger, I think :) I admire your connection to the nature!
