Daddy arrives in Iowa!

So my dad is here now, arrived about 3:00 this afternoon. Due to the small size of my apartment, we have moved over into a cozy suite at the Sheraton in West Des Moines....it almost feels like a vacation!

With Dad, came what I'm going to call "The Cancer Book". It is a book that has been put together specific to my diagnosis, it has the path report and all sorts of articles and journals and information about it. This was put together for me by my sister's WONDERFUL Mother-in-Law, Jan, to whom I am so grateful!!! After reading some tonight, I feel SO MUCH BETTER about things! Although I still have many questions for the Oncologist, it is looking like the situation is much better than we could have hoped. Apparently, sometimes people call this a "zero" stage cancer and sometimes, it's not referred to as "cancer" AT ALL!!
I know that the diagnosis is serious regardless, but I can't help but feel a little breathing room at the moment!

As I'm still recovering from the reduction surgery, I'm planning to spend a relaxed weekend with my folks getting ready for the appointment on Monday.

Good day today! God Bless!

Love and hope,
Margaret

p.s. Special "shout out" to Sara, Susan and Lee for the tear spilling laughter today!!! xoxo
