I think the recovery for this surgery will be about the same as my last surgery (I had a left hemicolectomy in February to remove a mass of cancer from my colon), I should be in the hospital, assuming everything goes according to plan, for 5-7 days. Then I'm supposed to meet with my oncologist on July 13th to get me scheduled for my (hopefully) final 6 rounds of chemo.
The shirt says "Survivor" |
This is my other Stand Up 2 Cancer shirt that I bought |
I just did a really pretty neutral look. What I used:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Makeup Geek (MUG) "Pretentious" shadow on lid
MUG "Mocha" with a touch of "Corrupt" in crease
Blended up with MUG "Cocoa Bear" and "Cinderella"
with MUG "Vanilla Bean" as a highlight
On my lips:
MAC "Myth" lipstick
just a smidge of MAC Viva Glam Nicki lipstick
topped with Revlon "Cupcake" lip butter
If you're interested, depending on how I'm feeling, I'll try to update my facebook page while I'm in the hospital, just to let you know I made it through surgery ok. And if you wouldn't mind sending some prayers or thoughts my way again, I would so much appreciate it!
I want to thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for being so amazing and supportive of me during this time. I feel so blessed that I am able to have this sort of outlet for my feelings and to talk about what I'm going through. Sometimes it gets really hard but reading your kind words always makes it feel like not such a big deal. So thank you all so much. I love you guys and I'll talk to you soon!
