Where are My Ruby Slippers??

The visit with the surgeon laid things out a bit more clearly and it is going to be a bit of a wild ride to pass through the next few weeks. We really do not know whether this will be "the cure" or just the beginning to some challenging decisions such as chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments. It all rests in the pathology results after my tumor is removed. Once the exact type of my particular sarcoma is discovered we will know how to move forward. At any rate, I will be screened every 3 mos with ct scans for the next two years. As Dr. Letson put it, we are going to get to know each other very well.
Tonight I realize how long this trip may be....suddenly, I feel a bit like Dorothy, searching for the Wizard wanting to just get home. It is going to take my heart, my brain and most of all my courage to navigate my way there. Note to self, I need to get a pair of those ruby slippers, hmmm.
