The Day We Found Out It Was Cancer

Tucker and I often go to lunch when we are both off during the day.  We absolutely love spending time alone together.  We both look forward to these lunches.  We decided to eat lunch at PA Grille.  On our way to lunch I asked Tucker if he was nervous about what the doctor would have to tell us, he said no.  I told him I was a little nervous, what if it is worse then thought.

We sit down to lunch and had just gotten our food and my phone rang... it was the doctor.  I answered the phone and he told me that he had the results.  One of the biopsies showed squamous carcinoma in situ which basically means the cancer is on the surface and has not spread.  The other biopsy showed adenocarcinoma which is a serious form of cancer.  This showed a micro invasion below the surface.  We do not now a full picture because these biopsies are so small.  So I have Cervical Cancer.  We would have to come in to see the doctor and discuss what the next steps need to be.

I began crying while on the phone and I don't think I will ever forget Tucker's face.  I now had to tell my husband that I had cancer.  It was awful, so awful.  He began to cry.  I love him so much!  We talked about what the possible options would be and of course we both said we would do whatever it takes to beat this!  (By the way, right now I feel like I will not go back to PA Grille, until I can say I am cancer free!  Though, those fried pickles are really good!  I know it's silly!)
