I should have started this a month or so ago, when out of the thunder struck sky we learned that our oldest daughter had cervical cancer. She had not been ill, thought she might have a UTI, and went to the emergency room at the hospital, where the adventure began. The emergency room doctor (a female) told her bluntly, I think you probably have cancer, you should get a hysterectomy immediately, but we will send these samples to the lab to be sure. End of story. what a shock, what a horrible to have that kind of information delivered to you. Note to self, find out the name and stay away from that doctor. Later it was confirmed that there were cancer cells, and she was set for a hysterectomy at St. Mary's in Grand Junction.
She so positive, so upbeat, stating that she had a lot of living to do, she had just gotten married the previous May, and her amazing daughter was a junior at the University of Wyoming. She was not finished raising her, not ready to give up and not fight, she was in the battle to win at all costs. She is strong,m she is a fighter, she is opinionated, but tough.
She came out of the pre-op sessions and informed me there would be no surgery, the tumor was to large to operate on, she would have to have 5 weeks of radiation and chemo treatments.
