So the surgery i'm having done is called an oophorectomy (removal of one or both ovaries). It is scheduled for 11:30 am on Tuesday May 14. My blood work all came back normal for tumor markers but this doesn't necessarily mean anything since my tumor markers were never elevated with the tumor in my colon. But still good news to not have them elevated obviously.
So please pray for a successful surgery and that they only will be making tiny incisions and I can go home same day!
Oophorectomy is as funny sounding as gyn-onc ... Too bad the whole subject is as far from funny as possible. Yay for a surgery date and clean bloodwork!
ReplyDeleteLeah, it's been a week or so since I read your blog...I'm so happy that your appointment in NYC went well and that you have the (one) surgery date scheduled. I'm hopeful that your laproscopic surgery will be just that and you can return home that same day. We continue to send love and prayers to you! Hang in there, you are one tough woman!
ReplyDeleteLet's hear it for same day surgery!
ReplyDeleteLeah, dear, you never have to ask for us to pray for you. I wouldn't let a day pass by without praying for you, your family, your health, your strength, your joy, your laughter, your determination....etc.
You are cared and loved by many. You inspire me.
Leah,
ReplyDeleteMy prayers will be with you. I will be thinking of you as I do often.
John W.
Thinking of you every day, Leah. And sending positive energy your way.

Leah, I just want you to know that I have been reading your blog regularly from the beginning and praying for you. I've tried to leave you comments before but was unable to post them for some reason. I have shared your story with some of my friends at church and they have been praying for you as well and asking me for updates. I will continue to pray that The Lord will heal your body and make you whole.

Good luck tomorrow Leah. You've got many people praying very hard for you!
