Hello friends! If you thought I fell of the face of the earth you’re pretty much right.
In May, I began having side and back pain that was mis-diagnosed as kidney infection. At the end of May, I landed in the ER with bleeding (that a woman my age SHOULD NOT be having). A CT scan revealed that my kidneys were fine, but my uterus “looked funny” (the doctor’s words).
A subsequent OBGYN appointment and biopsy revealed endometrial cancer. After meeting with an OBGYN Oncologist at Brown Cancer Center in Louisville and an MRI, I was scheduled for a complete hysterectomy, and after six weeks of healing time, I began radiation treatments, 5 days a week for 6 weeks.

I’ll be the first to admit that the diagnosis of cancer and the radiation really threw me for a loop, and I basically just shut down for four months. But I’ve completed the treatments and spent the last three weeks recuperating on a Southwest Road Trip. I’m feeling almost normal again, so here I am. My follow-up appointment is on Halloween, and we’ll see what’s next.
I certainly have a lot to catch up on, so bear with me as I get back up to date!
Thank you to all of you who’ve supported me on this unexpected and quite scary journey. I appreciate you all so much!
