A planned surgery is better

We met with a team of Doctors yesterday, led by Dr. Urban. A gynecology oncologist. After reviewing my scans, performing an exam and a lot of discussion we have a plan for surgery. Dr. Urban feels that she will probably be removing benign tissue, but thinks it prudent to do so given my medical history. Dr. Urban will be able to evaluate the nature of these tissues (benign or malignant) during the surgery. If there is any cancerous tissue we change to plan 2, which is the removal of substantially more tissue, which require a more invasive surgery. We are feeling confident and positive. We know that we are in expert hands. Surgery is scheduled today at 5:30am aat UWMC. It is now 5:04. We better get to the hospital. Heather
