    Thank you for commenting on my blog and congrats for almost being done with your radiation!!! I know you're probably ready to be done with it.

    I am having a myomectomy tomorrow to remove several large fibroids. My gyno says my uterus is at 20 weeks, I have discomfort lying on my stomach and I've been having irregular bleeding. I'm ready for these bad boys to be out of my body.

    Hi
    I noticed your comment on my Gratitude journal. I started it a long time ago, not realizing it was public. I'd been going through a very rough patch (nothing compared to your trials) and needed to remember my blessings.
    I pray that God protects and helps you during this stressful time in your life. I hope your current problems are under control. It can't be easy trying to live a healthy life style while going through those treatments.

    You don't mention your age, but I suspect you're young. Of course, me being 63 makes almost everyone seem young emoticon

    Have a great week.
