You know that dance that Snoopy does when he is really happy? The one where he sticks his nose in the air and his little feet get going? Well, that's the dance I am doing today (except maybe a little slower because I am a little bloated and sore). I got my final pathology report back from my BSO and its all clear! No malignancy! This is the best possible news. Getting this news just lifted a weight off me that I didn't realize was there. NO MALIGNANCY. This means that my prophylactic surgery was a success. I got those dang tubes and ovaries out before they had the chance to try and kill me! I want to celebrate! I am just SO HAPPY.
I feel like this whole journey is partly over (and it is). I know I have more big surgery in my future, but for now I am going to relish in this success and take the time to heal. My abdomen is still sore and I look like I am about 6 months pregnant. (Note to self: Now is not the time to go bathing suit shopping). My throat is still a little sore. I am not as tired as I was yesterday, so that's a plus. I walked down to my coffee shop this morning and had a nice quiet peaceful coffee. The weather is amazing. I feel strong. I am anxious to get back to playing with my kids (no lifting for a while, so.....). I am just feeling so thankful. Thankful for having the information about my BRCA status (never thought I would say that). Thankful to be cared for by such an amazing medical team. Thankful to have such supportive friends and family. There is so much to celebrate today.
