I received my report from pathology with results from Monday’s surgery! Both lesions that were removed came back BENIGN!!! Woohoo No cancer :) (insert happy dance)
I will be getting my stitches out in 2.5 weeks!!
My next routine scans are April 19th!
Hey everyone! It’s been a while, which I guess no news is the best news right?! What a crazy emotional week this week was. Monday was ok, Tuesday I literally just laid and cried and stressed all day, Wednesday I thought Not today and kept myself very busy and today I woke up determined. Jamie and I left for the Cancer center at 7:15am. We got there and I had to drink the contrast, tried to get an IV and it didn’t work. Now if you know me well you know I can’t do blood or needles, I’m slowly getting better because unfortunately I have had to practice a lot in the past few months. So the nurse says I’m sorry hunny we need to try again ... second time worked! I got the IV in and my blood work done. Next I went off for my CT of lungs, abdomen , and pelvis. After that was done I was freezing, why in the world is the cancer center so damn cold?! So Jamie got me a tea and calmed my nerves. Next we met with my Medical Oncologist whom I really like and she said from what she could tell from my scans everything looks clear! No reoccurrence, no new spots! Thank God!!! I’m still working with my Drs for some more holistic approaches for some mental health help and other needs but all in all I’m doing well! I am still on a lifting restriction of no more than 10 lbs but every day is a new day and I am thankful to be so lucky to even be typing this.
I’ll have another set of scans in 3 months and until then I’ll be looking at the stars and thanking God for each day.
From the day I found out that I was diagnosed with cancer I received so much love, and kindness. I am truly blessed for the friends and family that I am surrounded by. I never in a million years would have expected or thought that I would receive the type of support that I did and I will be forever grateful. From phone calls, uplifting cards, donations, meals, house cleaning, friendly visits. It all made each day just a little bit brighter. My parents and In-Laws watched the kids for us while I was healing from surgery, life long friends held a get together to support me and show me so much love. Tammi and Sherri put together a shirt drive to help raise money for bills and life expenses, Kendall put together the gofund me account and raised so much money for me. And there has been so much more. Nothing has gone unnoticed or unappreciated, I do not know how I will every thank everyone enough, but I will be living each day forward the best I can. I love you all Thank you again for everything :)
