Maria many hugs and lots of prayers for you. Your plate is certainly full.
If I counted right today is the day of the surgery, I think. Prayers for all those taking care of you that they have the wisdom to know how to treat you.

take care

Liz,
I have you in a pray chain at our church, and with you is Peter, his surgery is tomorrow, Gene was fortuneate to be in many prayer chains across the US,,SO i HAVE E-MAILED THOSE FAMILY MEMBERS AND YOU ARE NOW IN THERES AS WELL. I know about the anticipation, I thought I would have to knock Gene out for the 2 days before and deliver him already on a gurney..my hope is the uterus mass and the breast thing is just a flute, I had an abnormal mamogram twice, only to show it was nothing, and a pap as well,,so don't get freaky on us, you have alot to live for...and I am sure you will...God Bless Liz,,,I will lite a candle for you on Thursday,,Ginger

Hi Liz,

Well, I do not think you are morbid! My dx was like a big sheet of glass breaking - all the unimportant stuff fell away and all I could see was what really matters. I updated my will and thought about my final stuff as well. I had to because the more I tried not to - the harder it was to get on with living. We all have to do what we must to feel we have taken care of things I guess..
I will keep you in my prayers and will be looking for good news from you.
God Bless, Holly

Thank you all for your responses. It's now 2 days away. I actually now just want to get it over with and get the results of the biopsy's. This whole thing has come to head I think since Friday. When you first get your dx, you research it and figure out how you will fight it, then I suppose at some point the reality of what your dx really means and has the potential to mean hits you like a brick! Yesterday I stopped by the cemetary where we bought plots years ago to make my monthly payment (had to make Oct & Nov since I have been avoiding going). I decided it would be best if I talk to someone about my final wishes if it should ever come down to that. I know it's morbid, and believe me I am not giving up, I just thought if I do eventually pass it would be easier for my family if I took care of this for them.
I guess I feel like since the dx I have had no control and even realize that we don't even have control over our own bodies, so I suppose the last bit of control I could exercise on this earth would be to plan my wishes.
Is this normal? Should I just committ myself now? lol, what is normal when you have cancer? Who knows so I can kindof do whatever I want right? lol.
Please if you will, just keep me in your thoughts and prayers on Thursday.
God speed to all,

Liz

Liz,
4 more days, your right the waiting is the worst, and it seems you have gotten news on your tests that don't help the situation. Try to keep the faith , I'll say some prayers the other areas are benign , it was a pleasure meeting your husband, if he needs help in any way give us a call. Ginger
