Ack, all signs are pointing towards stage 1a. Stay positive and focus on that. Only 23 more Fridays until Christmas.
@mrs-b I think you should create a warrior charm...a blingy charm that shows how strong you are. Being afraid doesn’t make you less strong....Thanks ladies. I'm not trying to be positive - or negative. I'm just trying not to think of it till I actually KNOW something, y'know?
The thing is tho...I'm a member of an endometrial cancer support network, and I read last week about a woman who was a member of that group - diagnosed with grade 1 tumor, and a preliminary stage 1a diagnosis (so, same as me) last October. All looked great - till her path results came back, showing she was in fact 3c. She died mid Feb - 4 months from go to whoa. She was younger than me and had no symptoms.
I think anyone who has played this particular waiting game could tell you - 99 positive experiences from 99 different people can be obliterated by one bad story. I'm working very hard to stay in the now. Other than the generalized terror ( ) I'm actually feeling incredibly well. Go figure.
Thank you for all the support. I have completely destroyed my sparkly doo-dad thread and I'm pretty sure this whole thing should be in Hangouts. But it's here now, and I'm just gonna leave it.
Speaking of sparkly doo-dads, my re-made charm bracelet should be done in the next month or so. It's my current project and a bunch of the charms are being custom made, with every single charm being hugely significant. I have some nice necklaces, but I like bracelets more, so this will be lovely when it's done.
And to @Catmom and @MissGotRocks, who suggested I should be focussing on Christmas in 'only 5 months' - what wonderful women you are and how well you know me! Today I went to the dr for some dressing changes, did some housework, went to the shops, did a little gardening...and planned my Christmas menu!! I suspect you don't need to ask me which activity I enjoyed the most!!
@Mrs- b How do you do Christmas shopping in case of a return? I never return a gift even if it something I won’t use..but I know lots of people do return gifts. I’m just curious how you manage that. I would love to pick out something for my daughter-in-law before the rush but she may want to return it and it would be past the return timeline.Good bless you.
Have you started your Christmas shopping? I'm about half way through.
Good bless you.

Ok...You both have inspired me to get moving on my gifts! I do love Christmas and I do decorate both houses to exhaustion..but we love how it looks and enjoy it when I’m done...Oh yes, my closet is starting to fill up, lol.
@mrs-b I've been thinking about you and wondering how your recovery is going. How are you?
better days!Thanks, @Dandi and @Daisys and Diamonds
I'm great. I have no pain and have recovered wonderfully well. My first follow up appt is next week, so that will be the beginning of 5 years of careful monitoring, but to all intents and purposes, I feel fine. My only 'leftover' is generalized exhaustion. I run out of steam VERY quickly and find myself nodding off where I sit - but this is no surprise, given everything I've been through over the last 18 months. I hope to be back to where I was, before everything started, in about 6 months. In the meantime, I'm happy and feeling well.
Thank you for asking!
Thank you, @TheGarnetGirl - I certainly am! I'm thinking about doing a white gold one as well, to use up some more diamonds and some of my cooler tone colored gems. I have the most fabulous suite of amethysts that I'm just dying to set, so it might be a diamond and amethyst doo-dad up next!
Calling @mrs-b I could have kicked myself when I missed the sale of this! I just wrote David for an estimate but of course he will also have to supply the stones. What is the approximate diameter of the doo dad charm?
