Prayers and well-wishes to you for a quick recovery!! Congratulations to your son also.
It might be a little blessing that your surgery is so soon (no time to nervously wait for it). Focus on recovery and that everything will be clear. Sounds like you've been through enough. May this surgery (by Dr. Cutie) go well and recovery be swift and painless for you. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Update: Well, it's cancer. I have surgery next Friday. Lots of tests to do before for medical clearance. I've been down this road before and can handle it with grace. I think my husband is more upset than I am. If they get the lump out with clear margins, then no further surgery, chemo, or radiation will be needed. I will be followed for 5 years or more. I just have to tell my kids which is going to be hard. My DS is graduating from college this Saturday, and I don't want to upset his day, we'll tell him on Sunday before we leave. My DD plays college softball and is competing these next few days, so I don't want to distract her....we'll tell her but not sure when. As for the rest of the family, boy, hard to know when. Surgery is happening so fast, I'm not sure. I'll probably start a text chain next week after we tell the kids. Funny story time: I saw other doctors in this practice when I had my hysterectomy done for uterine cancer. I was followed for 5-7 years, when my doctor left the practice and the new doctor came on board. I was sent a letter with a picture of the new doctor. (He is my new surgeon) I thought "no way! He's too good looking and I don't want him taking a looky-lou at my private parts!" Well low and behold, my pcp recommends him and now I have, and he's adorable. I tell him this story and he turns 50 shades of red while the female resident laughs hysterically!! He tries to remain professional and calm, while I just grin! So on to my treatment to get rid of this cancer. I found a lump, not on "top" but in the lower region. I have had three different cancers in my life, Hodgkin's when I was 25, endometrial/uterine when I was 48, and melanoma on my back. This new lump was biopsied last week, I find out the results in 2 days. I'm thinking it's vulvar cancer. UGH. How are you? Did you get to tell your kids? How did they take the news? Thinking of you. ❤️

I’m so sorry it’s cancer again, you’ve certainly dealt with too much of it for one lifetime.
I so enjoyed you sharing that story with the Doctor!

Hoping for a good report from the doctors. Don't worry or feel guilty about the sleep schedule, rest when you need to. Anaesthetic and surgery is traumatic to the body, and the body needs time to recover.

Thank you for the update! I am glad to hear you are resting and taking it slow. As far as your husband, I would just take it with a grain of salt. Everyone deals with things in their own way. This could just be his way.

Anaesthetic and surgery is traumatic to the body, and the body needs time to recover. ^^^ this. General anesthesia is tough on a person, and can take quite a while to totally get over. Do whatever you need to rest and heal. I'm sorry your DH is being a bit 'off' about his reaction... it could be his way of dealing with his fear for your continued health. (((hugs)))
