CANCER!!

Yep lucky me I have been diagnosed with Subcutanioius Large T-Cell Lymphoma. Not as much fun as winning the lottery I have to say! :) I have so far had a Sonogram (found 20+ swollen lymphnodes); CT Scan that confirmed those were there and no noticable cancer anywhere else(praise God); and a biopsy the day after the CT Scan to determine exactly what type it was(the long name in the beginning of the post). I go today to meet with my Oncologist (Dr. Q) and see about treatment and all the other good details! I will update after the appt.

How am I feeling? Glad you asked! My arm hurts from not using like I should have been after the biopsy and some scar tissue has attached itself to the muscle and now I have to work it off!! OUCH!! My feelings toward the cancer itself? I'm ok with it. My Dr. said I have "a good kind" and its treatable and I will be ok so I am ok with it. God has a purpose for everything so me having this, has a purpose. It just better be a good one! JK!! I really am ok with it, I have prayed about it and we are not all promised tomorrow anyway so you just have to look at the positives. It has brought me closer to HIM and it has made me realized the important things and life and not to take one second for granted. He is going to be there with me every step of way (footprints in the sand) I have a very supportive hubby and family and we are all gonna take it one day at a time and get through this! I am giving it to God and He will handle it!
