It's amazing how so many things that happen to you, or around you, can simply roll off your shoulders. I usually just think to myself "Hey, it could always be worse"... which is true, it always could be worse. And, in fact, it could be worse right now too. Somehow i'm having a hard time rolling this off, and i feel a need to post about it.
About two years ago, doctors found out my significant other had tested positive for pre-cancerous cells. This was further investigated via biopsy, and when the reults came back my girlfriend underwent a "leap" proceedure to scrape these cells out. She was then watched on a regular basis for about six months. Well, last year the annual checkup was fine. This year, today actually, we found out they're back.
She's scheduled for another biopsy, which will probably turn into another leap proceedure. Anyone who knows more specifics on this will realize what repeated leaps will result in. To summarize, it thins out the cervical wall which more than likely results in complications for pregnancy.
More importantly, the concerns are IF this will KEEP coming back?? What the hell is causing these cells to form again? How long till pre-cancerous becomes cancerous? I don't know these answers, i don't think anyone does.
My mother died from the same cancer, my grandfather also died of cancer, i don't know how i'm going to deal with it again. Perhaps thats why it's harder to take it in stride and cope.
If you folks would take a few minutes to send some positive energy in this direction, we sure would appreciate it.
