Sparkling
bright and eight months pregnant, my French-speaking surgeon in
Montreal, Quebec, was perhaps more direct than she would have been in
her native language. She’d just removed my uterus and everything else
that I could spare from my abdomen, but she was reporting on what she hadn’t been able to remove of the sarcoma that had, in just the weeks waiting for surgery, spread beyond hope in my belly.
“You will die of this,” she told me matter-of-factly.
Chemotherapy,
she said, might give me a few more months if it worked, but those
chances were small. So, I consider myself pretty fortunate to still be
here a year later.
