Random babblings of a confused miniature writer
A blog/journal just to babble/dabble in to try to keep my friends up to date on my pitiful existence.

On the 25th, I went to see my oncologist to get some answers. I got answers, but not all of what I wanted.
I know definitively that I have cancer. It is a carcinoma that is rare and aggressive. A three inch mass is situated against my cervix and abutting my bladder wall.
The last test I went through, a PET scan, on the 20th, showed about the only good news there has been: it hasn't spread.

The doctor doesn't want to do surgery if we can help it. It would be an eight hour ordeal and they would have to remove my bladder along with a hysterectomy.

The other alternative is chemo and radiation treatment, which when this all started I was dead set against.


The only other thing I got asked lately is how do I want to proceed if the quality of my life is not going to be improved for any significant length of time.

I said I would rather just be made comfortable live out what I have left.
