I got it to load on youtube, and I watched it.
Hey Mary-Peg! Keep being positive, positive that you can kick cancer's ass. Cancer is a stupid mean bully, no brains what so ever, you can outsmart it then kick it's ass.
I had tumors in my uterus, now I have no uterus and who needs it? I have not missed it one bit, it's been over 6 years and I have not once said, gosh I don't have anything to put this fetus in... now where did I put that uterus?
Know that you are loved! Know you can do this! Know you are not alone!

Well, all right then. I don't have to like your choice, but I do have to respect it. I will continue to pray for you.
...that shook me up so much...my wittiness fled for a time...I use humor for a shiled on a daily basis...but that slipped past my defenses....lessee, how 'bout dis???...
Wow, that's amazing. I had the laparoscopic surgery. I can't even see where the incisions were anymore, your incisions should be the same, or even smaller. Smaller incision, less pain, better healing. It's awesome what medical science is capable of.
Peg - you are doing the right thing! Something that really helped us was Bernie Siegel's Love, Medicine and Miracles. My husband doesn't like to read, so we found the audio book on eBay or amazon, and would listen to it together every morning. It's full of good advice, and also calming to listen to, and helped us make decisions every step along the way.
I like that your doctor gave you a hug. It's very important that 1) you like your doctors and are comfortable with them, and 2) you feel like they are truly listening to your concerns/questions, and giving you the time you need and deserve in your appointment. Don't hesitate to change docs - you need all the positive energy and support you can get!!

Mary I am glad you are focused on the process and I agree the robot surgery sounds pretty neat, that would be what I would do. I like finding out everything I can about something that affects me personally, it helps me to cope. I can sense your fears have been reduced and you're in a different place than a few days ago. I'm really proud of you!
How many people get to say they had a robot do their surgery? I also found my surgeron on that site. He looks pretty young. Now if I could just pronounce his name...
Here he is..
Mark Gregory Cadungog, M.D.

Dr. Eggnog I presume? I'd call him that, only after the procedure.
Shasta
On his shell he holds the earth.
I'm a cancer survivor as well, and while I was incredibly lucky with my type of cancer and the stage I was in (saying that because I can't even begin to imagine how horrible it is for people with a larger fight on their hands - I was extremely, extremely lucky), I know how scary that diagnosis is and how defeated it can make a person. But your doctor is correct, you WILL be fine. Medical treatment is so amazing these days.
And a robot surgery is SO cool! I don't know anyone else who can say they've been operated on by a robot.
I think I'll just call him 'Doc' for right now.
My daughter is going to call him Koothrappali. From Big Bang Theory. We can say that!

Mary so glad to hear things are settling down some. Soon it will all be behind you. Just keep us updated.
My thoughts and prayers continue, Mary, just so you know.
It is wonderful to have a doc you trust. I stopped getting surgery from one doc and now his son does it because he was ready to retire when I met him. I trust the whole family lol.
My first surgery was a little over 25 years ago. I had a tubal pregnancy, and they took my right tube, and ovaries. I remember just being angry about it. It was emergency surgery that night, and I woke up in so much pain.
I'm hoping this one will be a whole lot different.

You're stronger than that b***h cancer. The robotic surgery sounds fascinating! Likely less pain, because of smaller incisions, and a quicker recovery. I hope you're not offended if I have you in my prayers.
I won't be offended at all, Thank you for that!
