I know some will think 'why am I not in church'. Well since Covid we began listening to a 'great' preacher from out of CA, USA on YouTube. I am updating on my Endometrium Cancer diagnosis and won't know anything until July 7 surgery. BUT, there is now another issue. I had to get Cardia clearance and Dr. wouldn't. My heart showed what he called a bottom branch cluster vessel strictures or something like that and also an electrical conduction problem with the heart muscle--I have to go for an Echocardiogram, a possible stress test and then heart cath. He said anesthesia at this point could be very dangerous, that I got thru January's surgery but I couldn't remember if it was general anesthesia or the 'twilight' type. He said if the Echo looks 'pristine' he'd probably let me have surgery. I don't want this put off any longer. Been bleeding and cramps are horrible since my surgery in January. I know you all will say a prayer for me. I know so many of us are stricken in some way or other so for this group I pray. I pray for any other issues and all Cuties. Love to you all.

I hold you in my thoughts and prayers as well as other Cuties in need. Love this community. There is so much care. I'm going for the next stage to test the heart---echo didn't pass so now chair nuclear version of stress test Wed the 5th. Hope I pass that--surgery is sch'd for the 7th.

Update-heard from the Cardio Dr. yesterday- Aortia Valve has stenosis which virtually means hardening-not leaking as much as previously but still the electrical conduction to heart muscle itself so waiting to be scheduled for the type of stress test where you sit in a chair--get injected with this solution and heart scanned while all that is going on. Should get scheduled ASAP for that. Hopeful that is the last and surgery can go as scheduled.

I know you must be frustrated and confused. You know I will continue to pray for you throughout this newest wrinkle. I understand all too well why you want to get this surgery over with, but I am also grateful the cardiologist is being cautious. Have you asked your GYN or oncologist if there is anything that can be done in the meantime? Just a thought. Sending lots of hugs your way as well as prayers.

I Karen--keeping positive is what the onco/gyn says. I know you had so much pain leading up to your ordeal. I go tomorrow for blood tests one place and other for the echo on the heart tomorrow. Hope cardio Dr. reads outcome with haste. He said he'd let me know what steps next...believe me if he doesn't call a couple days after that I will be on the phone or leaving them a message of next steps. Thank you.
