The Big C

     Amazing how fast priorities can change in your life. Knowing that you have a probable cancer diagnosis you can quickly decide there are certain things you don't want to bother with and others that you do.  Also, at least at the first, every thing seems so tender. The low is rather low but the joy seems even more joyful. The kids came up from Provo on Sunday to celebrate Matt's birthday it just felt so good to have them there and I had so much fun.
     On Tuesday I had the MRI and from those images the radiologist decided to take biopsies from both breasts and a lymph node. Then he sent me over for a liver ultrasound because something seemed suspicious there. I think I was a little numb but Bryan was pretty depressed about it.I just felt sore and bruised.  Needless to say we were very nervous until Thursday afternoon when we could get the first pathology reports.  Yes it is cancer but in only the original spot.  The other spots were benign. Unfortunately it is a little large so I am probably stage 2 but it is nice to finally know and just to be able to talk about it with others. I need their support.

    Today I called my friend and visiting teacher, Diane, who is so great and promised she would go to treatments and appointments with me and whatever I needed.  Then Nelladet, a survivor, came with this cute little bouquet of flowers and her whole info booklet. It was good to talk to her about it all.  She said I will have a love-hate relationship with pink by the time I am done.

I Love My Friends and Family

     Bryan is very sweet and it seems like we have already grown even closer. The real fun thing is that I just mentioned they had cute shoes in an add and he said "You should go buy them."  I think I might have to take advantage of him for a few months.
     Here is some pics from this weekend:
