This is a quick update, since so many have asked.
As you all probably know by now, my family suffered a devastating loss in January when my husband Evan died very suddenly and unexpectedly. I’m not planning to process my grief through this blog, but obviously this has a huge impact on my life right now. I have a tremendous amount to do, to figure out.
I have postponed the surgery for now. I simply am not strong enough, mentally, emotionally, or physically, to undergo such a major procedure. I need to rebuild my support system, figure out how I am going to do this and piece together everything that I need to get through it. And with so much on my plate, now is not the time to think about this.
My next appointment at MSK is in June. At that time, I will discuss things with my PA and figure out when I want to have the surgery. Then I’ll have to start the process all over again.

A very wise decision. Having had so many family losses in so short a time, I can tell you that especially when the loss is a husband, the grief is tougher. It can feel like half of you is missing. On a practical note, you will now have to take up the tasks that Evan did before, and there may be quite a learning curve. In my case it was finances and cooking. It can feel like itâs just too much to handle all at once. Donât beat yourself up about learning all of it faster. Just put one foot in front of the other until you get there.
