Cancer is Back in My Ovary

I just read Sheila’s article on her journey with skin cancer. If she can beat her cancer, I can follow in her footsteps.

I’m scheduled for surgery January 18, to have my left ovary removed. I had a hysterectomy in the mid 80’s back then, they left one ovary when possible so you didn’t need hormone therapy. Looking back it probably wasn’t the right decision however it can’t be changed today.

It had to be faith that I found Sheila’s article, faith because, as I look back at today I was about as low as you could go emotionally not able to let a moment go by without thinking about this terrible disease in my body again … I had breast cancer three years ago in February of ‘05. I was cancer free and convinced I wouldn’t have to go through this again. So here I am, sixty-one years old (never sick) go to the doctor with a pain in my right side they tell me I have a stone in my gallbladder. Then they proceed to tell me during a routine pelvic and abdominal ultra sound; we see something in your ovary that doesn’t look right. So again, the testing scans, blood tests, and doctor appointments, once again leaving me to fight this evil villain cancer and wondering what I would face very soon?

I didn’t think much about my past with cancer. I was sure this was negative energy and not acceptable to my continued recovery. However, today was more then I could bear, and my reaction devastating to my mind and soul. However, because I read Sheila’s article, her successful fight with melanoma I feel real hope. I think I can conquer my body with my mind, spirit, and God. I believe there is an expectation of success for me with real hope and optimism I can beat this. I have a new approach to cancer tonight I can fight and win. I’m asking you to join me in prayers and positive thoughts so we can beat this together.
