How Did I Do It?????

Last week I had to meet with my Oncologist. Not a stressful appointment just a check up and to schedule another PET Scan in a month. I can't believe 6 months has almost gone by and I'm due for another one. (Oh insurance don't give me issues!)

I will put that stress aside for another month or so.

However, When I was there I walked by the Oxygen Therapy Office that I used to go to 5 days a week for 6 weeks and started thinking How in the World did I have the will to go into that place for so long!? It's just amazing how when you need to survive and continue to live you will do what you have to do. Today, I feel like their is no way I could relive that experience but I know you do what you have to do when your in that situation.

Overall my health is good. I have another surgery scheduled this month. Fun Fun!! Hoping this is it.... No more under the knife... Cancer sure does cause so many issues doesn't it?

I'll keep you posted.

Love to everyone who loves me!

He is Six~

I know Ive said this before but this little guy is a pure miracle. I was able to witness his conception through IVF. I saw a little white dot slowly float into my uterine wall and I knew he would come. Only through the power of prayers. I sure believe in the power of prayer. I wouldn't be here to witness his sixth birthday with out them....

2 Whole Years!

I've been thinking a lot about the day I was told I had a HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS TUMOR. I remember thinking not me. I'll just go in and have another (painful) sterotatic biopsy and it will be negative. No Worries... I'm fine... Days later the results were not what I thought and I will never forget the surgeons words.

"Your Life Will Be Put On Hold For A While"

My life has been put on hold and it will never be the same for many reasons. Good and Bad.

I consider myself cancer free for 2 years now. Not from the time I finished Chemo but from the time my breast was removed and the cancer was dug out like a pumpkin! I'm very confident that I beat this cancer thing but I'm also realistic and know that their is always a possibility of it reoccurring. It's been a long road. Hopefully only one more surgery to go and I should be done. Long hold dont you think?

The funny thing is ~I still cant believe it happened.

Our Halloween with the Fam...

This is me, Cole my nephew (Vampire) Ethen (Werewolf).

Maya the Black kitty cat and Grant my nephew the Dinosaur

Here is my little Drake the Ninja with Cole

Logan my niece and Maya the kitty...

We hung out with my brother Matt and his family this year for Halloween. We had a great time. They are in there new home so the kids were so excited to scope out the new neighborhood and get as much candy as they could. It worked. In my years of Trick or Treating never did I get as much candy as these kids did. Maya and my Nephew Grant got HUGE Giant Size Hersey Bars! Is that normal? Couldn't believe it~! Great times, Its so nice to feel healthy and have the energy to keep up with these kiddos! Loved being with them this year... Great Times.

10-10-10 Race for the Cure

This year I decided to do the Race with my sister. My family came along for support. It was a blast. I was a little emotional (on a personal note) because 2 years ago I was told I had Breast Cancer and I never thought this Journey would bring me to where I am today.

Seriously can you believe I did a 5K? What an amazing feeling it was.

My sister and I before the Race (Thanks Leslie for getting up so early to do this)

While I was running these cheerleaders asked if they could get a picture with Maya Girl. Too Cute! They loved her! Who wouldn't?

Here is my Guy...

Mitch and I both agree this was a Bitter Sweet Experience. Last year Mitch could not walk from a serious leg injury and I was about to begin my painful reconstruction surgeries and had just finished Radiation/Burn therapy. Memories I don't want to relive BUT at the same time a life learning experience

I am A survivor! Feels good to say that...

Mitch my Co-Survivor....I just don't think people realize what the co -SURVIVOR GOES THROUGH.

Mitch is a man of few words but I know this broke him to the core. He is a stronger individual for having this challenge but it will never take away the hurt he had for me.

I love you all

I Love your support

I Love how much you care

HE WILL PLAY IN PINK

THIS IS MY 1ST BORN... Ethen. He remembers the most out of all my children what I went through. He also understands what all this pink represents this month. Everywhere we go if we see pink items he always says "mom you should buy that".

Ethen is on a football team that supports the cause too! I was so happy. He even got pink socks and a pink ribbon sticker to put on his helmet. He was so proud of that.

Ethen had just been tackled so hard it knocked the wind out of him...

This is one tough kid! In AZ they start practices in Aug when its 110 degrees (dry heat) but it's still heat~ Goes everyday for 2 weeks and then MWF for 2 hours. He seriously is a natural! Really... football is his love, he plays hard and gets hit hard! I'm proud of him!
