Cancer Sucks

Well, I'm finally up to sitting at my computer after missing 2 weeks of my life.  For anyone who doesn't already know, I had an emergency hysterectomy on Sept. 30, and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  I had a rather large tumor on my left ovary.  It's stage 1C and had only spread to the other ovary, so that is good news.  I find out on Friday about chemo and whatnot.  Here's a photo of Nellie and me, celebrating the pathology report with soup and salad at Tomaydo/Tomahdo.


My sister took pictures of my CSA shares while I was down for the count, but I haven't downloaded them to my computer, yet.  I was able to take my own photo of this past Saturday's haul.


Good thing I've been eating lots of veggies.  Seems like that will give me a leg up on getting through chemo and beating this thing.

Maybe next week I'll feel like catching up on the school stuff.  We actually did a medium amount of school work today.  I think next week may be back to normal.
