I went back for my post-op appointment on Monday. She took a look at my incisions, picked some of the glue out of my belly button (TMI, sorry) and told me I'm healing up well. I got to see some photos of my innards; really cool, but so strange. After years of drawing diagrams of anatomy when I taught biology I sort of forgot that I was drawing "cartoon" versions of everything. In reality they don't look quite like that! The good news is that the ovaries and tubes are clear of cancer and my liver at least looks good from the outside.
After we got home, Keith thought it would have been funny to mess with the doctor and ask her when we could start trying to conceive. That would have been pretty mean, but funny none the less...in a demented way. (we've got to have some laughs!).
Now we just motor along until my next big scan. Not sure when that'll be, should be in the next month or two. I'm getting my Herceptin every three weeks and hopefully that's killing any bits of cancer that are still hanging around!
