The season’s just seem to be flying right on by this year. Summer has left, Fall is gone and Winter has appeared as it’s been cold with the blustery wind and yesterday we even had large snowflakes falling. Tomorrow night they are calling for an inch of the white stuff! Where O where has my time gone? I had hopes of heading south for the winter this year but those hopes are left behind.
My spring and summer were spent recovering from bladder surgery and fighting that dreaded word of Cancer, it seems my winter will be spent doing the same! I am scheduled after Thanksgiving to have a bi-lateral mastectomy (which means double). I have a mass (tumor) in my left breast that was found and so due to family history of breast cancer it’s been decided to do go ahead and do both, might as well get it over with. I do not know what the future holds in regards to treatment until my biopsy comes back. After I recover from this I will be having a hysterectomy as well due to a family history of ovarian cancer. Once again I will be spending my winter months in the blustery cold Illinois.
I have hopes and dreams of one day again enjoying taking my home on wheels where ever I choose to roam. But for now I need to concentrate on my recovery and getting my body healed.
On a good note I have lost 66 lbs and have a bit more to go. Here are my before and after picture, this picture was taken the 2nd week of October of this year the the other picture was taken in November of 2013.
I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
