You would think I was becoming a pro at this, but I guess I'm a slow learner. The surgery went really well and the pathology reports showed that they got all the cancer cells. They had to take everything except one ovary and they are hoping that it will kick into high gear so I don't have to do major hormones. They said that they filled me up with air and fluids to try and separate the organs and reduce the amount of cutting. This should take my recovery time down from 8 weeks to 4 weeks. I'm not in a lot of pain, just extremely tired and I feel like I have been punched in the stomach a lot. Thank you to everyone who has been helping. I was in the hospital for 3 days and at home I find myself so tired I can't wake up so I am grateful for everyone taking care of my home and children. I'm still having a couple of minor problems, but I'm sure as time goes on they will only get better. I just really wished they could of done this back in May. At least on the bright side, we might have a Christmas with no Hospitals or surgeries.

I'm so glad the surgery went well and that the recovery time will be shorter than planned. I can't believe how much the meds of for the boys. That's unreal! I'm glad you at least have a few months of full coverage. I hope you're up and at 'em soon.
Lots of love Jen. Glad to hear the surgery went well. My prayers are with you and your family.
