May 12, 2009 7 PM

I went to Loyola Hospital Cancer Center and spoke with Dr. Potkul. Plan is to operate June 1 and do a complete Hysterectomy. He wll determine if the cancer inviolves lymph system when he gets in there. Plan is to do laproscopic surgery, if possible, but they have to turn you upside down and I have breathing problems, so he is not sure. If I have trouble breathing, he will do regular surgery. The tissue removed will be further tested to determine stage and any further treatment decided then. I will know results in about a week after the surgery.

If I have laproscopic, I stay in the hospital over night and go back to work in 2 weeks. If he must do regular surgery, I will be in the hospital several days and then 6 weeks recovery. prognosis is very good.

After the Dr. appointment, I went to my friend Verna's and we had an early dinner.

Now, since I was up at 2 AM and couldn't sleep - I am going to bed. I must work tomorrow.
