Good Morning
Good morningš Just a warning this post will be a tad long lol. So I donāt usually put my situations publicly on Facebook but this situation has kind of forced me to put the info out the best way possibleā¦May 6th was the day that no one ever wants to haveā¦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 havenāt been sick and had no signsā¦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..āmy babies need their mommyā āno one can love my husband like I doā āI donāt have life insuranceā etcā¦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 š 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 lungsā¦this all sounds very grim and hard to graspā¦but Iām determined to fight this with everything in me, Iām 33 years old and Iām 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 dayā¦they said they wonāt all be that long but my hubby was a trooper and hung with me all day!! After each treatment, Iām 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 treatmentā¦ 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 Iām trying to make my tummy better they donāt know anything about the word cancerā¦so please be mindful if you see me. Donāt be afraid to ask any questions! (Please bare with me if youāve messaged me and I havenāt responded, your not bothering me at all I promise I will get back to you ā¤) Thanks again to every single one of you!! I love you all so very much!! For those of you that know me I donāt accept help hardly ever and this part has been very hard, but Iām 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!
