A month after my surgery, I received the news I wanted…I am clear of cancer. The preliminary report looked good, but because my doctor is the best, he sent my slides on to a Johns Hopkins melanoma specialist and he confirmed that the margins around my surgery are clear.
I am unbelievably grateful. I feel such a huge sense of relief. God is good and I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to the legions of people who prayed for me and reached out to me.
I will continue to need follow up care, just to be on the safe side….but today is a good day. Today I celebrate that I found the right doctor. Today I celebrate the I am well loved. Today I celebrate that I can grow old with the people I love. This has been an extremely stressful and scary time, but it was also a gift. It is wonderful to reflect on what is important to you and to be able to prioritize love.

This is great news Ginelle. I recently was diagnosed with prostate cancer, however it is a very small amount and after a second biopsy there was no cancer detected at all. My doc said the best thing is to be biopsied every year. I do need to remember how lucky I am. To be living in a country where, despite how fucked up the health care system is, I have access to excellent medical care. So many here and in other countries do not. Keep on living your awesome life.
I am SO RELIEVED and happy for you!!
Big hugs.
Always.
I’ve just opened this and have tears of happiness for you and your family.
With love,
Dorothy
