Subject: RE: Exercise & Declutter March into Spring 2012
I was quite thin when the cancer diagnosis came for me. Made it easy to do some scans, harder for others because they prefer more meat. Now I'm not skinny. I hope I don't have any cancer lurking. We ALL hope we don't have any cancer lurking.
I had my bleeding checked because a friend online told me about her sister's problems. I went in, got an ultrasound quickly that found a polyp. I had a D&C the next week, and upon finding an adenocarcinoma, had a second surgery a couple of weeks later. My friend's sister, who had a doctor who kept telling her it was nothing, died a few weeks later while my friend and her sister's husband were taking her to the ER. I am so grateful that my friend spoke up, and so heartbroken than though she helped me save my own life, her sister lost her life to an aggressive form of uterine cancer.
Cancer sucks.
Been online working this evening, I'll read more closely tomorrow.
