This is one of the hardest posts to write. On Friday, 26 September, Mandy (our 19 year old daughter)saw the doctor from Sunnybrook.
He advised her that they no longer classified what she has as micro-invasive cancer, but as"'real' cancer, that would kill her if not treated". An further reading of the biopsy revealed cancer cells in the blood steam and she will require Cancer Surgery, not a procedure. She sees the surgeon who will be doing the surgery on Wednesday and will probably have her surgery within another 2 weeks.
It is an newer procedure they are talking about, called a trachelectomy, where the take a portion of the cervix and they will also perform laparoscopic sentinel node mapping and bilateral pelvic node dissection (examination and possible removal of the lymph nodes).
Kind of makes my issue with needing the bangs of my wig trimmed pretty inconsequential.
