Back in Hawaii
Still no stage - doctor cannot determine due to unclear margins on the sample that they have.
Doctor is thinking it is between stage 1A1 and 1B. He is recommending modified radical hysterectomy.
Surgery will be in a week and a half or so.
I have a appointment with him tomorrow.
I hope to have my surgery date and treatment plan tomorrow as well.

Ready or Not, Here I Come
Well, one more day and then I am off to Hawaii. Good thing too, sounds like Yuki is going thru her heat again... sorry Scott! He he he.
I am definitely looking forward to talking to my doctor and learning more about my situation. I am tired of being in the dark about so many details.
My appointment is at 11 on the 23rd. I am not what the rest of the week will bring. Maybe more tests, maybe more waiting.
According to my doctor here, the doctor in Hawaii told her that he is not going have any surgeries on his schedule until the first week of March, so I may be waiting a bit.
Sandy and I are going to hang out that night I get in. She is such a joy!

I pick up Mom and Susan on the 26th. What fun! I cannot wait to show Hawaii to them. I think I am more excited then they are.

New Info
Things I found out today:
I will be leaving for Hawaii on the 22nd.
My first appointment with my oncologist is on the 23rd. (with the time difference, that won't give me much time to adjust to the time difference)
My CT scans looks good, it has not spread to other areas.
I may not have surgery until the first week of March.
******************************************************
I have an appointment on Friday to finalize the arrangements for the trip.
More to come soon.

CT Scan
I had a CT scan of my chest, abdomen, and pelvis done on Tuesday (Feb 2).
The CT scan itself was a little daunting. I had an IV of contrast put in to highlight my blood vessels. I had to lay down on the bed as it moved thru the scanner. The thing that I was most afraid of was moving during the scan because the technician was so adamant that I don't. Overall, the whole experience wasn't so bad.
(This is the closest to the actual one I could find. They wouldn't allow me to take a picture)
I have yet to receive word on the results. The technician that performed the scan informed me that there is only one radiologist on base that can read the scans and it will be a 3 to 5 day wait on the results. I am going in tomorrow (Monday) to see if the scans have been reviewed.
Once all my paper work goes thru and I am approved for Tripler Army Medical Center, I will be off to Hawaii for treatment.
