Christmas Meltdown

Christmas Meltdown

Saturday, November 5, 2011

Above all, I must say....

That my friends are beyond fantastic. I have told a few people before the email blast went out and the immediate support is overwhelming. From a friend in Arizona calling her mom (who works at the Kearney Breast Center) to give me hugs and prayers during these tests, friends offering my favorite meals and offers to watch the children, to my dad offering to be my chemo buddy.

I have a friend recently diagnosed with a different form of cancer not a week earlier than me with a baby a few days older than mine. We are taking a journey together and I feel blessed that I have someone I love to help through this as she helps me.

I have sweet church friends praying hard for me and who I am growing closer to everyday as a result of this.

I have an amazing husband that gives me hugs, holds my hand, talks through our worries, and fuels my confidence while bringing me chocolates to help me process all this crap.

I have beautiful babies that I hope to shield from this hiccup and keep their lives as normal as possible. I have taken a genetic test to see if I (& ultimately they) carry a cancer gene. The results will not be returned for a few weeks, but this cure BETTER be found so this is not passed along!

Above all I have an amazing God who is the ultimate Healer. He has seen this obstacle all along and has a purpose for me. I look forward to see how I and others will be changed for the better. My faith will be absolutely vital to my recovery and I will be stronger in Him as a result. I have already seen His hands working in me so far.

Please keep me in your prayers.

By the time cancer is a possibility for your sweet baby, she will probably just go in and get a shot to be cured of it. Seriously - they will make amazing strides by then.
