The impending surgery

So as most of you know I have been trying my darndest to get out of doing the hysterectomy. Well, not going to happen. I called my Genetic Counselor and I have a 40% chane of getting Ovarian Cancer. So that did that. I sure tried though. I looked everywhere to try to find evidence that says BRCA 2 positive people do not have any risks for any other cancers except breast.
But, nope. So taking a deep breath. Here we go. No more children.
Trying to talk myself into this. I mean I guess at my age, the change was on its way anyway. I can always foster or adopt. I can get a new puppy or kitten. Run for local office, which sounds like fun to me. I don't know. Something will come along to make me feel better I guess. I just need to wait for it or find it.

Breast Cancer Awareness month. Gosh. Could it be anymore in my face? So am I a survivor now or what? Am I still a cancer pt. since I am under watch and have to run tests every 3 months for the next 1-2 years? What am I?

I guess I should probably still commit myself to the Race for the Cure. I don't know. I mean all the Phoenix Mommies are going and I love 98% of them. They really did help me thorough some tough times. All the meals, cards, gifts. Incredibly sweet! And now that I can be social again, we are going to do Bunko and I get to go to the next Mom's Night Out. I am so excited! I guess if they can go, I certainly should go.

OK BBL.
