Recap Wednesday

Hey guys!
Happy day before Thanksgiving! Today is a big day for me! Today I have been fighting cancer for three years. Three years ago today I was in a operating room having a biopsy done of my tumor. I remember the surgeon saying if it is cancer you will come out with a broviak line. Which for those of you who don't know is a like that comes out of your chest that goes into the main vain going into your heart. Yeah I know scary . So of course when I wake up the first think I look for is my line and there wasn't one. So when my dad came in he was crying and I remember just telling him it is ok that I don't have cancer. To my surprise I remember him saying you started to bleed and that I did have cancer and I lost too much blood and they couldn't put in my line. I just sat there saying it would be ok and we would get through it. Today I cannot believe I have been dealing with this for three years. We have had our ups and our downs but we are still here and I am happy and feel good most of the time. I know most of you have no idea what it feels like to be in my shoes. I would not ever wish this on ANYONE! So please say nice things. Cherish Every Moment. You are not guaranteed tomorrow. Be thankful for good health and to have the people you have around you. My counts were good yesterday but I am still EXTREMELY tired I don't really know why I am so tired but that has been why I have not been at school. I get up and my arms and legs feel like 100 ton bricks.

Today I am thankful for modern medicine. I would not be here today if there were no chemotherapy treatments and insulin. I am happy for the time I live in.

I hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends!

Love you all

Hey guys!
I am so sorry it has been forever since I have blogged. My days have been running together. My stomach has been in a sorts of forms lately. They upped my medicine dose so I believe that is the problem. So since I posted last a little bit has gone on but not much! I have been to school a couple of times but not alot because of these stomach and being extermly tired. When I say tired I mean like can't move off the couch and when I do my legs feel weak and my arms are so weak I don't feel like I can lift them. I think it is from my counts being lower than normal. So there is my explanation for not being at school. So today I have been doing testing all day for chemo that I am suppose to get tomorrow. We shall see if I can. With the way I have been feeling I don't know if I will be able too. So that aside, I don't know if you have noticed the facebook thing going around about the being grateful! I know I am fifteen days late but I would like to start a trend on here for the month of november every friday when I post I will post one thing I am thankful for and I would like to hear what you guys are thankful for too! So here we go...

              Today I am thankful for my sister Dorian. She is always there for me even when I am a pain in the butt! I am also thankful for my nonbiological sisters Shannon, Kalie, Janelle, Julie. You all thave stuck with me through good times and bad! So there is my first post of thankfulness! Now its your turn!

Love to you all!

Scans

Hey Guys!
So my week has been crazy good! I have gone to school twice maybe 3 times I don't remember! But it has been a good couple of days! I have been super busy! I am working on hope week t-shirts now and it is alot of behind the scenes work that I did not expect! So tomorrow I have a chest CT scan which is where all my tumors are so if you all of you could say some prayers that they will show improvement but ultimately we want them to be GONE! I believe in miracles and I am praying for one! Also I have been getting alot of charlie horses in my hip and ankle so to pray for those to stop also! Other than that I am doing homework and working on hope week! So not much going on please continue to share my blog!
Love you all!
