Today I met with my gynecological surgeon. Everything is looking good and I am recovering as I should be. They will see me one more time before I start up my chemotherapy again to make sure that everything has healed as it should. My abdomen is still a little swollen, but it is probably partly because of fluid from my liver that my body is trying to get rid of. The surgeon wasn't concerned about it at all. They are pleased to see me up and moving around well and that I have been able to cut back on my pain meds a lot. The surgeon again expressed how pleased she was with how the surgery turned out and that I have a good chance of keeping the cancer at bay for a while. I think that has been the hardest part for me is the fact that we have no way of knowing how long I will be in remission from this horrible disease. That's one reason that I have to endure 3 more cycles of chemotherapy - to try and kill off all of the cancer cells so that I can have a better chance of keeping the cancer in remission for a long time...
