Why Can't a Woman be More Like a Man?

Well hello, all. I haven't written in so long. I figured no one wants to hear the boring details of cancer treatment recovery. The body has it's way of coping with being poisoned, stabbed, burned and medicated. And sometimes it fights back. Sometimes the treatment causes its very own problems. For instance Robin Roberts from Good Morning America developed blood cancer as a result of the chemotherapy to fight her breast cancer. This is always a concern. I've been having girlie part troubles for a while and the hormone blocking medication I take (Tamoxifen) causes some of it. A visit to my GYN confirmed that the thickening of the womb has happened. Most women my age have a lining that is 1/2 a centimeter. Mine is 5 centimeters. The concern is that there is endometrial cancer hiding in it. Of course, when I got home from the appointment the first thing I did was get online to see what this is all about. We won't really know much until the biopsy has been tested and possibly until after the hysterectomy. Yes. More waiting. I'm used to that. My husband is very funny. When he goes with me to doctor appointments there are always posters on the wall showing all sorts of diseases. Being the pretend hypochondriac that he is, he immediately assumes he has every disease shown. Visit the cardiologist...he suddenly has chest pain. You get the idea. During the biopsy appointment he looked around at the posters and breathed a sigh of relief. No imagined diseases here...he doesn't have the right parts! At that moment I thought, "Why can't a woman be more like a man??" We should know this week what the results are for endometrial cancer. Next week we will know the date of the surgery, but from what I hear it will be before March and I will be out of commission for at least 2 weeks. So....we live in Vegas and have an extra room...anyone wanna come play and hangout with me??? haha. I know you all are fighting your own difficult battles. That's what this life is all about. I'm so impressed with how many of you just dig in and give it your all. I get strength from all of you. Thank you for sharing your lives with me. I'll keep you posted and in the mean time... Keep the Faith.
