Surgery Is Scheduled

Dear friends,

I got the phone call I've been waiting for about surgery. All surgeons have agreed and my operation is scheduled for Monday, January 26th. I have two prior appointments the week before. One with the gynecologist and one with urologist both on different days. So I will be staying in Detroit that week also. It's reassuring to know there will be at least three specialists in the operating room. Each will be using their expertise in removing parts that may need removing. Dr. Berri did give indication that parts of my colon and ovaries would be part of what will be taken out along with the tumor and any other cancerous spots they can find. Luckily still not my bladder.

I will be admitted on Sunday the 25th so that iv fluids and antibiotics can be started. I'm assuming surgery will be early Monday morning. This is going to be a huge undertaking and I'm not looking forward to the recovery process, but I thank God He will be there for me and heal me quickly. I have a very special baby I need to get back to so she doesn't forget her "Bobo." (short for grandmother in polish)

I'd like to ask that you keep me in your thoughts and prayers that everything goes well and I come home as soon as possible with little pain. I love you all and thank you for your support. Also, prayers for Mark wouldn't hurt either, there's a lot on his plate too. :) Thank you!

Love and hugs,

Jen
