So much for the FasTrak!

There has been a change in plans. After speaking with my trusted CA gyno-oncologist (Dr. Brown) the other night we have decided to offset the risk of doing a hysterectomy at time of delivery and instead tend to the remaining cancerous cells via another cone biopsy at 6-8 weeks after delivery. With this new direction, I got a hold of the perinatoligist (Dr. Lam) who was scheduled to do my c-section at 37 weeks this morning. He is going to round up all the doctors involved and plan for a definitive c-section to take place closer to home at Banner Desert hospital during my 39th week (exact date will probably be determined next week). Since we don't know if/when a hysterectomy will be performed, I'm considering having my tubes tied while I'm there.....cause I can tell you, I DON'T want any more pregnancies!

I'm glad to not be having the hysterectomy at time of delivery so I can be more involved right from the start AND I'm glad that 'peanut' will get another 2 weeks to grow and develop in utero, but I'm selfishly upset that I'm no longer on the Pregnancy FasTrak! :-(
