Hello! I'm sorry that I haven't written in nearly seven months. We are doing great! Just been living a fairly normal life. I briefly wanted to let y'all know that tomorrow I am having a laparoscopic hysterectomy. This is a preventative measure to avoid developing ovarian or cervical cancer. It's drastic, but with my breast cancer being estrogen positive - I have a higher chance of developing cancer in my reproductive organs. Already I have developed endometrial hyperplasia - a thickening of the lining of my uterus. When I had my port removed and another breast reconstruction on February 11, I had a d&c to take care of this problem. Since the cells tested high in estrogen, this problem would likely reoccur over and over and potentially develop into cancerous cells. Since I have been so aggressive in treating my breast cancer, I want to do everything in my power to avoid further cancer. My recovery will last at least four weeks and I cannot pick up my 26-lb son during this time. It will be challenging, but worth the price to be HEALTHY, cancer-free and here for my family. I will do whatever it takes!
