just wanted to let anyone who was concerned that i did get my biopsy results and i do not have cancer. i do have to have another surgery, but it should all be okay. i don't have the surgery date yet, but should have it done within next few weeks. ~stephanie

Stephanie,

I am so glad to hear from you, I am also even happier that you are cancer free...can you see my smile from where you are? :)

I was thinking about you wondering what was going on if you were okay, and of course we are all concerned and worried about you we love you...

How are things with the boyfriend going how is he holding up thru all of this and how are you holding up?

Please keep us up to date on how you are doing, do not become a stranger okay.

(blush) thank you all for your concern. it will be an outpatient procedure, so i will be out the same day. i should lose about 2 days of work. a few weeks to heal. did you know that the cervix doesn't grow back? so the tissue that they remove will always be gone. i will have check ups very often the first year, and for the following 2 years. after that we will see. hopefully it won't be a problem again. the only concern is that if i decide to have kids is an incompentant cervix. there is another surgery they can do though, to stitch the cervix closed to prevent 2nd trimester miscarriage.

bf is doing fine. i keep apologizing, even though i couldn't have done anything to prevent this. of course the last few weeks i have been under so much stress and have been snippy and short with just about everything, everyone. oh, i have been so tired too. from the first procedure i have been so terribly uncomfortable also, so that hasn't been easy either. poor guy, no sex. i just feel bad is all. now we are facing another few weeks.... right over our anniversary too. oh well. don't get me wrong, he isn't making me feel bad or anything... i am good at that myself. he is taking me for the surgery, taking the day off of work and all. he has been so good about everything. now, i am getting all teary eyed thinking about him.

i know that i have sort of MIA the last few weeks around here, but i do think of all of yoy often. i was just really worried and haven't been much help in general. hopefully i will start pulling it all back together soon. thanks again for your concern.

love & hugs,

stephanie
