    Update

    Wow, Been a long time since I entered anything in this space.  Anyway, a lot has been happening.  In february I made my first visit to the gynecologist and she did an immediate testing of the uterus... right in her office i may add.  She called me back a week later and told me to come in..  two weeks later I was in her office and being told that I needed to have surgery. 
     
    A D&C needed to be done.  March 13th was the scheduled date.  I had to go to the St. Joseph's day clinic and have the pre-op done and then i went for surgery the next week. I returned home the same day.  A lot of cramping and very disoriented... and somewhat crabby..lol. I called back to the ob/gyn to get a follow-up appointment and was set for March 28... i think. 
     
    At the follow up appointment she told me that there was absolute evidence that AEH was present.  I was told that because of the weight, I could not have surgery, also I could not have hormone therapy because it would cause me to gain more weight.  I was referred to the Jaravinski Cancer clinic. 
    At my visit to the clinic I was told that I was going to be getting a panniculectomy (pan-nick-u-lec-toe-me) and that the gyn/oncologist would also be removing my uterus.  I was told to quit smoking and also lose weight.  I had already lost between 20 -30 pounds.. WAHHHOOOO...  and I have as of today been two days short of being two weeks smoke free.
     
    My return date to the Cancer Clinic (Jaravinski Clinic) is set for June 14th at 10 a.m.  I will post after that date.  If you want to know more information about my condition .. GOOGLE.....   Atypical Endometrium Hyperplasia  and also PANNICULECTOMY
