UPDATE: Just got a call from the doctor..my surgery is tomorrow Oct 20 Thursday ..I will update as soon as I can. Please send good energy and prayers my way. Thank you all ❤️🌟
Fantastic Mylife. So glad surgery is tomorrow. They should not have let things go on this long. You will certainly be in my prayers tonight and tomorrow. The unknown can be so frightening. Hugs to you and to your friend who is driving you. Feel free to call me anytime. I can always step away from work for a bit. You really are loved and we really want to know how things go.

Thank you my friend. I appreciate your support, prayers and love. Your friendship is one I cherish. ❤️ Glad we got to talk tonight. Always great to hear your voice and words of encouragement. I will stay strong and have faith in the surgeon and the process. One hour at a time and not let my mind get too far ahead is the goal. Much love and thanks to you ❤️🌟❤️

So cancer has decided to revisit me..this time skin cancer..I was fearful of having biopsies as I know once air hits cancer it spreads like wildfire..and that has happened with me..one of my biopsied tumors has grown 3 times the size since my biopsy 3 weeks ago..and now the wait for surgery as it continues to grow everyday..I worry that I will lose my eye as the tumor is just below it..I am scared that it isn’t isolated..and it will spread throughout my body in a short period..I am scared that I won’t be able to work or live on my own anymore..I am worried about the cost of all this as I have no insurance..a friend asked me …why now you have a terminal disease do you want to live again”..It isn’t that I want to live again..I just don’t want to die a long drawn out painful death..There is a difference..So I am terrified that this will be my plight..I asked for death so many times..but I didn’t define it not to be a long painful one. I have never felt so defeated by my own body…and I am drowning in fear.
UPDATE AFTER SURGERY: Hello my fabulous SF family. Just got home..it was a long day..but all turned out better than I or the doctor expected. He saved my eye!!!! He removed the 4 tumors and believes he was able to get all the bad cancer cells out. I have a lovely pre Halloween look going on..bandages cover my entire left side of my face..But I wear them with pride and gratitude..I am sore and hurt a bit..but thrilled at the outcome of todays event. It will take a few months to heal up and will have a check up on Nov 3rd to make sure all looks good. I want to thank each and every one you for your care, prayers, positive energy and massive support as I was facing the unknown. You are the best family and support system anyone could ever want. You are all loving, caring WARRIORS who graciously took the time to let me know I was not alone. And that my family is beyond words. I love you all..I thank you all..and now the healing begins. Be safe, stay strong and know you are loved so very very much ❤️🌟❤️

Sending you healing thoughts this morning and will continue doing that for the next days. I look forward to hearing about the results, positive with complete success. Hug.

Happy to say I talked to Mylife last night. She was in very good spirits. A bit tired and sore, but sounded good and positive. As she said, the doctor removed all four tumors and he believes he got all the cancer. He could not use sutures due to like of remaining skin the the would will have to heal open. Will take a bit longer that way and Mylife will have to be very careful, but they will heal. It was great to hear her in such good spirits.

I am just now reading all of the posts related to and from Mylife the past 3 days....I am overjoyed for all the good outcome in the surgical and recovery reports. And she's in a good place. So it's an open wound, yes that will take a bit more time but will heal beautifully! Thanks Bear*hug
