Cervical Cancer…
EVERYTHING is making me cry today.
So my sister Susan emailed the family to let us know that she has cervical cancer. Everything was fine in her last pap 6 months ago, but they detected something this time around–a 3.5 cm tumor. Her OB/GYN was concerned because of how fast it grew. Her email was EXTREMELY alarming and I cried at work multiple times before realizing that I could talk to my other sister Elodia, whose husband is a doctor. They already knew about it and in their opinion, there’s not enough time since her last pap or a cancerous tumor to develop that large. They think it might be a sign of developing endometriosis. I honestly don’t know what to do with this piece of information. She won’t talk about it either…
This week has been a pretty hard week. Was on my rag, had serious stomach virus, and the office is moving. Also got into a spar with a friendster about whether I was giving the green light at his house over the weekend or not, he claims that I was "playing games" but I claimed that he was simply running through a lot of stop signs the night I watched a movie at his house… Also this week, I spent many late nights at work, with last night being no exception. Oh, and I pissed off my best friend Roz because I didn’t want to go to her 30th b-day party tonight because of some VERY personal reason connected to one of her invited guests (I can’t divulge–I’m too embarrassed!)
Insomnia, stomach aches, boy probs, work stress, friendship-tussles, insecurities, PMS’ing, Post-MS’ing, AND NOW… my sister my have cervical cancer? I’m going to bed now (it’s 3:15pm as I type) and I don’t plan on re-surfacing until Monday morning…
at least I got my "filibuster Alito" calls into every Democratic Senator out there… YOU BETTER DO THIS TOO BITCHES or else don’t come to me asking for information on underground abortions or Canadian hotlines for emergency contraception… with Alito, the new anti-choice majority on the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v Wade and go on a rampage peeling back access to contraception and family planning (but seriously, if this should ever happen, you CAN ask me for black market abortion/contraception because you know I’ll be running a pharmacy in my home with RU486, Plan B and what not that I’ll get from England and Mexico… it will be JANE all over again)
