12/8/15 I went to the doctor in Feb and
discussed the next step in my BRCA preventative surgeries, a full hysterectomy.. Today Mark and I went to visit
with the doctor and make the final decision. We went in for a consult and not rush into making any decisions. After talking to the doctor,
I felt this was without doubt a surgery I should have. Ovarain cancer is progressive and ugly. It is hard to detect, so even though I have been getting an ultrasound every 6 months for the last 5 years, once detected you are already in stage 3 or 4 of cancer. I have an 80% + chance of getting it versus the average woman has less than 5%. When I had the first surgery, I told myself in 5 years I would get the next surgery taken care of and here I am. Now, I just want to do this and get it
over with. I scheduled with Dr. Booth for Febuary 2016.
After the appointment Mark and I went for lunch
at Biaggi’s a very fine dininng. Next was the mall and I was ready to do some
serious shopping. Mark is not much for shopping and after a couple hours he
wanted to go home. Well, I got a start anyway. I was hoping to spend all
afternoon in the mall as lanned. I guess I will have to do my Christmas shopping another time. It was still nice to have an outing just the two of us.
