Well, I met with the doctor today, and the great news is that I do not have it in my bones or in any organs! The preliminary came back but the doctor can't give me a definite answer yet on what kind of cancer it is until further information comes in, which we are hoping for tomorrow (the holiday delayed everything). He is leaning more towards Hodgkins though now, but he is still waiting. Tomorrow I will get my pic line put in and if it is Hodgkins will probably have my first chemo treatment as well.
He has filled me in on some of my life style changes that I will need to be aware of, and I'm trying to swallow the hair loss which will be 3weeks after the first treatment. So Jaclyn, we will probably need to chity chat soon! No more gardening for a while for me! Which anyone who knows me, knows that is a real bummer... No more walking around bare foot, or getting in the pool with my kiddos (because of the pic line they are putting in my arm) just things I guess ya just take for granted ya know! I know this is for a season, and all seasons have an end... Well, unless ya live in New Orleans or the south for that matter! haha If it's not Hodgkins and it is large cell lymphoma, I will have to be admitted to the hospital for 5 days for treatment ! So lets pray it's not that!
Wish I had more to say or tell, but just really happy right now it is not in my bones or organs! Thank you GOD.... Thanks again, for all the prayers and love and I will keep you updated as things progress! Much love sent to all.

ReplyDeleteBrian's mom told me to send some love your way :) gotta love the little old 9th ward lady, sening some loving!
I'm so happy to hear the news girl! You will beat this! As for the hair...yeah it's tough. I thought it would be much harder. But I threw a party and let all my girlfriends shave it off. And I kind of liked being bald for a while :)
ReplyDeleteOne other thing...did they talk to you about a port vs a pic line? if you get a port you CAN go swimming, shower with no problems, and do whatever you want! Ports are SO much easier and better than a pic. And you don't have so much to worry about! Talk to them about it. And a port is completely hidden under the skin! no one will even know you have it!
You're in my prayers and I know the road will be tough, but you will come through it stronger than ever. Adversity doen't build character - it reveals it!
From one survivor to another - you are a hero girl! lots of love
