REALITY HITS

So many things happening AND NOW MY THING

MET LAST WEEK WITH MY FIRST SURGEON WHO BASICALLY TOLD ME THIS SURGERY FOR ESOPHAGUS  CANCER IS EXTREMELY LONG AND DIFFICULT...50/50 CHANCE OF SURVIVING FIRST 5 YEAS AND RECOVERY IS ALMOST 3 MONTHS ....THEY DO A SMALL FRACTION OF THESE SURGERIES A YEAR..

I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS THIS SERIOUS OR EVEN REMOTELY THIS DIFFICULT OF A SURGERY....TOTALLY TOOK ME FOR A LOOP...I HAD IMAGINED SURGERY,2 WEEKS OF RECOVERY AND BACK TO TENNIS .....NOT THE WAY IT IS GOING DOWN...

SO.............

I SEE MY SECOND SURGEON ON FRIDAY AND GET MORE OPTIONS....IT TAKES TWO DR. TO PERFORM THE SURGERY.....

IN THE MEANTIME WE ARE DOING ANOTHER CT SCAN ON TUESDAY TO LOOK AT ALL MY BLOOD VESSELS AND STOMACH AREA BEFORE DETERMINING OPTIONS FOR SURGERY ..

PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS IN HELPING ALL OF US DECIDE ON BEST ROUTE FOR SURGRY OR NOT .....LOTS OF FACTORS AND DECISIONS TO BE MADE ....PRAYER WARRIORS PRAY HARD ON THE DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE AND FOR GOD TO REACH OUT AND HELP ME MAKE THE CORRECT CHOICE...LOVE ALWAYS KK

ALL TREATMENTS ARE DONE AND THANK YOU GOD.......

 AFTER MY LAST CHEMO last wednesday I began to make my way back to tennis.  I lasted over 1 hour.  It felt so good to be back on the court and exercising while doing something you love.  The camaraderie with my tennis teammates is so awesome.  Life is looking to be a little more exciting since getting over that hump called CANCER...

Martha was very patient with me and a good sport with after Cancer exhaustion
