If you haven’t yet read the previous posts about my cancer journey, you can start from the beginning right here. As September 10 approached, I began making plans for the surgery. Of course my husband offered to fly back to Texas and be with me for it, but I told him not to. It was […]

My Cancer Story: The MRI
If you haven’t yet read the previous posts about my cancer journey, you can start from the beginning right here. We had to be at the hospital at 6:00 am for the MRI, so I think we woke up around 4:45. We had only a few hours of restless sleep and we were exhausted. Once again, […]
