Good Morning
Good morning😙 Just a warning this post will be a tad long lol. So I don’t usually put my situations publicly on Facebook but this situation has kind of forced me to put the info out the best way possible…May 6th was the day that no one ever wants to have…I found out that day I have stage IV colon cancer. The doctor informed me that at this point it had spread to several spots on my liver and possibly my lungs.. (keep in mind I haven’t been sick and had no signs…this was all found by some abnormal blood work) I straight up ask him if people survive this and he bluntly tells me no.. I felt my world completely crumble and a million thoughts race through my head..”my babies need their mommy” “no one can love my husband like I do” “I don’t have life insurance” etc…the list goes on.. needless to say that weekend was hell as Brad and I just went through the motions and make the most of Mothers day weekend and my 11 year olds birthday special 💗 After meeting with an Oncologist and having several tests and scans we agreed my treatment needed to start right away! So to sum it up I have no cancer in my colon or digestive track (I did have colon cancer 2 years ago and they thought they got it all) but the colon cancer (adenocarcinoma) is in my liver, 2 lymph nodes, the connecting tissue in my abdomen and possibly lungs…this all sounds very grim and hard to grasp…but I’m determined to fight this with everything in me, I’m 33 years old and I’m not done yet!!! I trust GOD will give me the strength it takes for this long road!! Yesterday was my first chemo treatment and it was a very long 8hr day…they said they won’t all be that long but my hubby was a trooper and hung with me all day!! After each treatment, I’m sent home with a pump that pumps chemo into me every 3 mins I wear non stop forn2 days and then it gets removed until the next treatment… I also want to say Brad and I are so blown away and so appreciative of all the encouraging posts, donations, meals, supplies and just plain love we have been shown through the nightmare! You all know who you are that have contacted me everyday with encouraging texts and offers to help! I knew my family and friends were so awesome, but they have exceeded and I love you all so very much!!! Everyone have a great day ! Oh and 1 more thing, my kids just know that mommys sick and I’m trying to make my tummy better they don’t know anything about the word cancer…so please be mindful if you see me. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions! (Please bare with me if you’ve messaged me and I haven’t responded, your not bothering me at all I promise I will get back to you ❤) Thanks again to every single one of you!! I love you all so very much!! For those of you that know me I don’t accept help hardly ever and this part has been very hard, but I’m so thankful to my family and friends for organizing things to help me and my family keep on keeping on with out as much impact as possible!
