waiting is long over but now the wait to return to work

Well i got the results to the tests the doctor had run, they showed that i had fibroid tumors in my uterus, several large tumors and this is what has caused all of my problems. Doctors reccommendation was to have a hysterectomy. Glad she recommended that, had the surgery on April 8th and now I must wait to return to work. Once the surgery date was set my Mom set up to come back out here to help me since my Husband works very early and was not able to get me to the hospital and also get our son off to school. Thank God for Moms. Mom stayed almost 3 weeks by this time i was moving around well enough for her to go home. At my first post surgery appointment the doctor had the results of the tests ran on everything after the surgery and the results scared me to say the least. My doctor did not believe that there was cancer going into the surgery but the the final test results proved her wrong-the tests showed that there was stage 2 cervical cancer. My doctor believes that there is no need to send me to any kind of chemo or radiation treatments because there was not a large area of the cancer and it was only in the cervix and had not metasticised to any other areas. Now I am just wanting for the all clear to return to work. The good thing about having this time off is that I am finally getting the sweater for my father in law near done. Yeah I want to get that done so bad and it is driving me nuts not getting that done!!! I will leave now on that note to work on that sweater some more before I go to bed tonight.
