Day 94

When I had my ablation, the doctor found cancer cells in my uterus. As soon as he told me, I cried. As much as I tried to avoid getting a hysterectomy, I will have to have one to keep the cancer from spreading. Wednesday morning, I'm going to my first oncology appointment before leaving to celebrate Christmas at a hotel with my family. Friday I return to have my gynecology appointment. I decided not to let this ruin my holiday. 

My Christmas wish for everybody to forget their problems for one day. Just focus on your family and loved ones. Whether you're visiting your family in person or only able to talk on the phone/online, take the time to tell them you love them. No matter what problems you have in your life or with each other, just focus on the love. For one day forget the pandemic, forget family arguments, forget your different views on politics. Just love each other. 

You don't know what tomorrow brings. A friend or love one could get the virus. A family member could lose their job. Or a simple medical proceedure could change your life forever. 

If you do anything this holiday season, take the time to let your family and friends know you love them. 

Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Joyous Holidays. Seasons Greetings.
