Cleared By The Doctor

Mary Jo met with her GYN oncology surgeon,  Dr Cathy Casey today for the 8 week post op visit as a follow up to the recent robotic assisted prophylactic hysterectomy.  Dr Casey examined Mary Jo in her office and explained that everything is healing well, as expected and looking good.  Mary Jo described to Dr Casey feeling more tired than usual in the past few weeks and Dr Casey said that this is completely normal for women to experience this side effect.  The main cause she explained is "from the cumulative effects of chemo and radiation sessions in addition to the body trying to heal from the latest surgical procedure".  The weather we have been experiencing for the past few weeks has been a bit depressing, to say the least.  It's mid June and we have only had two days so far this month were it has not rained so from Mary Jo's perspective, there is not much incentive to get out of bed when your feeling tired.  She is such a trooper.
