Cancer Update
At the end of March I went to the hospital for a CAT scan to check my lymph nodes and other ovary. i brought my mom along to hang out with Ryker while i was in the scan which was a good thing because i ended up having to drink some contrast thing for an hour and a half before the scan actually happened and it was nice to have someone to talk to as talking to Ryker is somewhat one sided ( he is becoming quite the little talker though! if only i knew what he was saying!) anyways I drink this clear liquid that looks like water but definetley did not taste like water.. i may have spilt a whole cup on the floor i'm such a klutz!) then i go into the scan room where they poke me some more and i get an IV and put on a table and fed through a donut like contraption, when they injected me with the contrast my whole body got really warm and it felt like i had peed my pants i was so embarrassed but good news it was a false alarm! haha so we went back to the Tom Baker center a week later and when they brought me into the room the nurse says to me " so you are here to sign your consent?" and i freaked out! consent for what?! i was here for results! what are you talking about?! i asked her while trying not to panic.. she just looked at me and says well .. i don't know; lets wait to talk to your doctor. I hadn't been nervous about the whole cancer thing until that moment. Everything had been so positive and i had felt so calm like everything was going to be okay. When the my doctor came in the first thing she said was everything looked great on the scan PHEW! instant relief rushed over me and i was sooo glad! they did find a slightly enlarged node in my chest but nothing to worry about so i go for another PET(a scan to look at my cell division) and CAT scan (to compare to the last one) at the end of May just to make sure nothing is coming back! i'm pretty excited that everything is okay and i can put this whole cancer thing behind me. Now i can concentrate on being a mom ( my new favorite thing to do these days:P) Going through this experience has brought me closer to my Heavenly Father; just like trials are supposed to do. I love my little family and am so excited to be healthy again!!I am so blessed and i thank you for all of your prayers, they were definetley felt!
