Ectopic Update...

I got my Beta back today, one week post surgery, and my numbers have now dropped to below 3000 (down from "over 15,000").  This is good news as I was worrying about the risk of further surgery had the numbers continue to climb.  For those wondering, in order to save my fallopian tube, a small amount of tissue was left behind.  The danger of taking this course of action (rather than removing the tube altogether) is that the tissue *can* continue to grow, resulting in further surgery & removal of the tube.

As far as how I am feeling physically, the stitches in my tummy are still sore but they are improving every day.   Emotionally, I am finding this really hard.  I am trying my very best to be positive but thinking about the "what ifs" gets me down.

Glad to hear you are improving and trying to stay positive, though I'm sure at times it's hard. Hopefully each day gets a little easier/less painful for you. HUGS!
