Hello out there!!!
Things have been a little crazy the past few weeks. I am sorry it has taken me so long to write this post. I guess it just gets annoying having to always "tell the same story" in my blog. The "story" being....everything is going great....everything is upside down....I love my life.....why is this happening again. Don't get me wrong, I am used to the roller coaster but I only wanted to go forward on the roller coaster, I don't need to see what it is like going backwards too.
I got the most perfect card from my friend Liz the other day. I wish I had it here with me so I could write exactly what it said. That will be my next post.
So needless to say, I got scanned and there were 6 tumors in my right lung. Now this was not expected at all, I just received radiation in February for a small tumor in the lower part of my right lung and I thought I would be in the clear for a few months. Think again. I had been having some pain in my ribs, I just thought it would be another small tumor that we would radiate and be done with. Turns out that within a month these 6 tumors grew and 3 are rather large. I was extremely out of breath and achy all over for a week or so but I assumed it was allergies.....because they have been CRAZY this year. I started chemo 3 weeks ago and I am already feeling better. I still get tired but nothing like it was. I will start my next cycle on Monday.
In the meantime I have had to stop working because I didn't think I could physically make it through a day in the condition I am in. Can I just say that I have the most amazing job ever though, they are ok with letting me take off like this.....and they want me back next year. I don't have a crystal ball, who knows what the fall will bring, but the fact that I still have the option to coach volleyball and teach in the classroom if I want it is AMAZING!!!
In the midst of all the craziness life throws at me, God has a way of making the important things turn out alright. We moved the wedding up and it was absolutely perfect.....I can't imagine trying to have a wedding in 2 weeks. I have found the most amazing love, through friends, family, and my husband. I have a job that I have always wanted. So while I might not be able to look at houses right now, or think of starting a family....I have the important things.
So I promise to post pictures of the wedding, I just need to be on my laptop to do it. I also can't wait for you to read this card because it is a great one. I will let you know how the next cycle of chemo goes and how my scans turn out. As always I will try to post more frequently; but as you probably know by now, I just am not very good.
