It is very early in the morning. I wanted to get this posted for all of you who are waiting the news from yesterday.
Seems my cancer has spread just about everywhere. It is all thorugh my back, hips, left femur, lungs and...sorry to say I even have 3 spots in my brain. None of my other organs are affected as of yet, which is good.
I am set up to get my port for chemo tomorrow and have an appointment with the Rad Onc for Friday. He will determine if I can have radiation to the spots on my brain or not. It is scary, as I do not know how or if this will change my personality.
Gary will stay here until the first chemo session is over and I have started radiation, but then he would like to go home for a week or so before returning, as we have much that needs to be done there...besides the poor guy is bored out of his mind. I am hoping I can talk a friend into coming for a week or so, as I need a caregiver here in order to stay.
The pain management Doc gave me a patch to wear, and it was wonderful for about 12 hours, and then I started throwing up...never felt so sick in my life. I am hoping when I see them today they can find something that works as well as it did without the side affects.
I am strangely at peace with all of this...oh, I did cry some yesterday and probably will again...but I know so many of you are praying for me, and so many of you have sent your love and support, that one way or another I will get through this. I feel Heavenly Father's love through each of you and I am learning so much about the power of love and how it truly does heal the soul. Each of you are teaching me so much every day.. Honestly, it has blown me away. Thank you so much for your love and support. Keep those prayers coming....I can actually feel them sustaining me.

A New Day

When I want to complain about my day, I think about you and can hardly imagine how strong you are. Everywhere you go- everything you do- you must think "I have cancer" So much must be on your mind as you reflect life, your family, loved ones, hope, faith, death, miracles for a healing. Wow- what an interesting stage of life you are going through- makes this world and life seem so small and insignificant compared to what God has in store for you. You are in my prayers. My prayers are kind of said all day through out- I will quietly say to myself "Oh Lord, heal my mom if it be thy will, Heavenly Father we believe in miracles-" I love you mom- Can't wait to see you again. Give Dad a big hug from me.
Well...I think we'll all continue to do our share of crying, but also to continue in faith. I love studying the New Testament right now, to hear the Savior's voice and just every now and then to get some bit of insight or inspiration from His teachings. And how it encourages me to know He knows you so well. Knows everything about you and what you need. And the compassion and love so deep that He has for you. Whole. You know how He says so often, "Your faith has made you whole"? To me, being healed and being whole are two separate and distinct things. Both extreme blessings, but I think "whole" means so much more. I'm sure you are on your way to "whole"--if not there already.
