[QUOTE="Star*, post: 297796, member: 4964"] Kellie, I had a friend send me the neatest email today about the building blocks of our DNA. It made me think of you. I tried to cut and past it here, but the picture wouldn't come with it and it's the most important part. Put the stuff in our DNA that holds us together LOOKS like a cross. Isn't that amazing? So yes....Praise Him. I'm delighted to hear all your news. I don't consider myself a holy roller, but dog goneit...when I hear news like this about a friend I could just go out and roll in the grass LIKE a dog. lol. (by the way if that's all it took? I'd roll every day for ya.) When I was considering a hysterectomy I found a website that was really a great help called Hyster-sisters. I don't know if it's .com or .org, but they will send you some literature for free. They have on line information as well. It was pre-surgical help, post surgical help. What to expect if you did a radical hysterectomy, what to expect if you did an ovary-only (forget the name) removal. What to expect if you only did a uterine-only removal. What to expect hormone wise..etc. I did have cervical cancer after Dude was born and had it all removed surgically. It wasn't as huge a deal as you are going through, but when they suspected the ductile carcinoma - I paid a lot of attention. When they told me later it was not cancer I was relieved but what it puts you through mentally (and surgically) is taxing. Without a doubt I see your husband stepping up and taking on responsibilities that maybe he never would have challenged himself to do. I think when all is said and done? The Guru house will heal, and be stronger and walk taller than ever. You have a lot of tough decisions ahead of you that no one would ever envy.

What a lovely gift you've given them. Now - let them use it to support you - and let them....take care of YOU. And the teacher becomes the student. (isn't that what a Guru really is?) :winking: - I think you're all going to be just fine. Hugs, Love & Continued Prayers - or rolls in the lawn - which ever strikes you best. Star [/QUOTE]
