150. You're in my thoughts

Tue Nov 11, 2025, 03:33 PM

Tuesday

I hope it will be benign. In May I had a questionable ultrasound. 6 weeks later I had major surgery. My ultrasound wasn't a false positive. 6 weeks after surgery I started a month of radiation. Mine wasn't breast cancer and it wasn't even slightly fun but now I'm all healed, cancer free, and slowly regaining my strength and energy. I'm only saying all that because IF (and I hope not! ) your test results aren't great, you can get through it and return to health. You might want to think about who you have in your life that can help you, or have some meals prepared and frozen, just in case.

Try not to worry, get help and support where you can, complain all you want and go have some fun. ❤
