The continuation...


Fast forward to the last weeks of winter.  I had a routine colonoscopy scheduled for March 7.  We were at the hospital at 6:00 a.m. for a procedure I assumed would be much like the one I had had five years earlier.  I was surprised when I came to and heard discussion about an obstruction and a need for an x-ray and CT scan.  A new adventure was about to begin.  It looked like ovarian cancer which was eventually confirmed.  Five days later I went in for surgery and 11 days after that was released from the hospital and sent home to mend before chemo was to begin one month after surgery.  There will be more to come in future posts plus how Clark and Phil responded to this new development.
