Update on my daughter: Well, DD’s results were at least better than mine. Her’s is not cancerous, but they feel that the cells are so abnormal that they want to remove part of the cervix. She is scheduled for surgery the 16th, I think, of next month. Not really cool, but at least they aren’t going to do a hysterectomy or prevent her from having another baby. I’m sure she will want another, and hopefully she will be able to.

Again, thanks to all of you that have posted, and to the many others that may have read and just thought it wouldn’t matter if one more posted. It is such a blessing to see so many people take the time to leave me a word of encouragement. It really does matter, and I have read every one! And believe me, it will be one of the very important things I read when I do get discouraged and depressed, as I’m sure I will occasionally.

I am managing to keep my head up, and to not worry too much, but not having more information, it is still a little scary. They are going to have to send me to the next town over, as we got word yesterday that my town hospital & DRs are not going to be into the system until at least June 1, and we don’t want to wait that long. So, we have to wait until we pick a DR then get an appt, then schedule some more tests to see what exactly we are dealing with and how much and everything. So, that in itself is a little bit frustrating for me, and doesn’t help,but I’m dealing with it pretty good.

The first couple days were the hardest, but I’m settling into the idea (as much as one can and managing to HOPE that I won’t automatically have it as bad and as rough as my sister and mother did. I do also face the fact that I have been prepared for this, by my experiences with them, so it’s not as bad for me as it is for some women who have absolutely no clue what to expect. Not that knowing makes it all that much better, but at least it won’t be unknowns for me

As I said in my update in the first post, my daughter got her results back, and will be going in next month to have part of her cervix removed. She said they described it like using a cheese slicer and taking off a layer of her cervix. Doen’t sound like any darn fun to me!!! But, they said it definitely is non-cancerous, just very irregular cells. Hopefully, that will satify them and all will be better for her, and that it won’t hurt too much! Sounds nasty

I did enjoy my granddaughter very much the other night. She is such an an adorable good baby. I went right to bed after posting on here, and hubby stayed up with her, and fed her at 1:00. Burbed her, talked with her a little, and then layed her back down and she went back to sleep.

I got up just before 4:00 and she was just waking up. So I fed her again. Hubby was sleeping by then. He woke when he heard her, but saw I was up, so went back to sleep She was awake for a while after I fed and burbed her, then she slept for an hour or so, then woke up to coo and smile and laugh with me until she got hungry again. Mommy arrived just in the nick of time, and was glad Zylea was hungry, as her breasts were very full!

I told DD that so many of you were praying for her too, and she was really happy to hear that. It really makes one feel so much better to know so many people care. I’m continueing to think about all the positive reports from so many women, and until we know how bad this is, there’s nothing that worrying can do to make it better, so I’ll just deal with that when we find it out. Thanks so much for the reminders to take that attitude. I”ll continue to do my best
