Been away for a bit. Found out I had ovarian cancer, had a hysterectomy, started chemo yesterday, had a reaction, finishing chemo today. I’ll end up with six rounds total. In happier news, I’ve had a blast trying out different wigs!

I’m seeing a gynecologic oncologist next week. I’m scared but hopeful. If it’s cancer, and my dr thinks it is, they’re sure they caught it very early.

I have two solid masses and a cyst on my right ovary. It’s possible everything is benign, but I am still in the waiting to find out phase. Blood was drawn on Thursday to screen for an ovarian cancer protein, and I have a second MRI on Monday. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.

If I texted my plans containing confidential student information to a reporter, I would be fired.

The cyst on my pancreas is back, along with one near my ovaries. None of the drs involved are panicking, so I will.

It’s a really long story, but I didn’t become a teacher until I was 50. It was my dream job, and now it feels like the wheels are flying off. 😔

Narcissist says, “You’re a doodie head.”

MRI on my pancreas this morning! Just a yearly follow-up after a pancreatic cyst removal. Accepting good vibes if you have some laying around that you’re not using.

I won the “Not the Worst Human” award from my cats. I won it by a landslide with record voter turnout. My cats said they’ve never seen a human not worse than me. The RADICAL DOG IN THIS HOUSE SAID SHE LOVES EVERYONE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ALLOW YOUR PETS TO BE INDOCTRINATED.

“Yes!”

“Know how I knew you were a teacher?”
“My shirt?” (That says “Proud Educator”)
“No. Your shoes.”
