Surprise!

I believe I mentioned last month that I’ve finally scheduled the ovary eviction.  I finally gave in seven months after my oncologist started pushing me to get the remaining ovary removed, and I’m scheduled for surgery in just about two weeks.

But there’s this little wrench in my plans.

I’m no longer in chemopause.  A year and a half after my last period, and fifteen months after finishing chemo, my period has returned.  This was my reaction:  “huh. that’s….huh.  Wow.”  Funny thing was that it was also my husband’s reaction when I told him.

We don’t know yet what this means for the surgery (have to talk with all of my doctors and weigh the various risks and all), but I do know this:  it’s very exciting to have my body working right again.  Very very exciting.
