It's All Good!!!

Got the call from the doctor today and I am CANCER FREE!!! I never thought I would have to say those words, but right now they sound so sweet!! Thank you all for your prayers. They were much needed and appreciated. Now we just pray for my continued physical healing and that only good things happen from here on out...we're ready to start having fun again! I'm still a little sore but feel confident that I will be all healed by Jen and Lance's party...we plan to enjoy it to the fullest (like we ever party any other way!!).

Love you all and talk to you soon...off to bed to get ready for another fun filled day with hormonal teenagers...am I crazy to really love spending my days with them (for the most part)? I guess I am, but I can't imagine doing anything else.

God is good!

Update

I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but we've been pretty busy around here.

First, we've been working on finally getting the house finished. My parents are up here right now and hopefully we'll be done today, but if not we'll only have the small stuff to finish up from here on out...thank goodness. I'll post pictures of the finished rooms soon.

Second, I have been going through some stuff and didn't want to post until I knew all was well. I actually won't know all the definite details until Tuesday, but the doctor feels pretty confident that it is not anything to be concerned about, so I'll go ahead and tell you what is going on. About three months ago I found a lump in my left breast. I thought that it was probably nothing and would go away (sometimes lumps come up depending your menstrual cycle and then go away after your period) but it didn't. So, about a month or so ago I made an appointment with my OBGYN to have it checked out. She felt it and said that she wanted an ultrasound and mammogram done just to be safe. So, I went to Western Kentucky Diagnostic and had my first mammogram (it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be) and an ultrasound done. Although the lump could be felt, it did not show up on the mammogram or the ultrasound, which was strange. Two weeks later, I went back to my OBGYN for a follow-up appointment. My doctor could still feel the lump, so she sent me to a breast surgeon to get fluid drawn and a biopsy. When I went to the surgeon, he did another ultrasound and again could not see the lump on the ultrasound. Because of this, he could not draw fluid. Instead, he told me he would have to surgically remove it. So, yesterday at 8:00 a.m. I had to have a lumpectomy (I'm sure I didn't spell that correct) in my left breast. I am pretty nauseated, but doing well. My mom has been up here taking care of me.

Sorry I haven't sent anything sooner, but it has just been such a whirl wind. I'll post again on Tuesday after I see the doctor again.

I love you all and will talk to you soon!
