My life changed dramatically on Mother's Day 2013. Three days later I was diagnosed with cancer from my physician. This blog was made to keep my family and friends informed to what has been happening to me the past few weeks. When I find out news from different Doctor's through all of the procedures I have had, so many of you have wanted me to text, email, call, or someway contact you. It humbles me how many of you are concerned. Sometimes I forget to contact some of you. This way, you can stay in touch with what is happening now. Please feel free to comment. I hope I have it set up so you can. If not, I will ask Emily my daughter to help me, since she helped me get this set up.

A bouquet of flowers at the Doctors Office?...SWEET!


How many times have you ever gone to a Doctor, of any kind, and come home with a bouquet of flowers?  Well I never have until yesterday at my Oncologists office.  I saw another lady walk past our room we were waiting in, with a bouquet also.  How awesome was that?

Well, my appointment with her was ***** 5 stars!  Life just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter with my cancer. (I now have none of the side effects of the chemo in my system left, and I feel fantastic.)  She really encouraged me in how good my blood tests were, how healthy I looked, and even how when she pushed this time on my tumors, she said that I am able to withstand more pressure than normal without me wincing.  Guess what I said to her as I looked into her eyes on the patient table?  I told her the reason I feel and look so good is because I don't have cancer! She looked at me and grinned from ear to ear, and emphatically said, "O-K"!  Then I got the flowers just before I left.

I have been praying umpteen prayers about my itching.  I have also had multiple priesthood blessings in the middle of the night from such bad itching about 2:00 in the morning, and no sleep yet.  I believe my doctor was inspired from God to tell me something so simple:
  "I want you to double up your itch medication, 3 times a day and see if that helps", is what she suggested!  How simple of a fix would that be if it helps? Why has that not been thought of weeks upon weeks ago? ( Because I needed some refining of some sort to go through it I think.)

  I am one day into it, and I so far have had the best day and evening with hardly any itching!!!!  A huge difference!!!  I need to see if after one day it was just a fluke, or is it going to be divine information sent to my doctor!!!! I believe it is. 

Kim and I left her office in such high spirits!!  I was flying again, just like last time.  She said I had to be on the harmone blocker for 3 months before we get another CT scan.  So that would put it at the first of the year. I am thinking good things will happen in that scan...."I gotta have FAITH"!

Thanks again for prayers from so many of you....thank you...thank you!

  2. I am so happy for you. My husband just had his 6 month cancer surgery follow up and everything is looking good for him too. I am thinking we are all blessed and will have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
