2.5 years!

(I was going to do a video blog but my new card for my camera hasnt came in. I plan on posting a video sometime soon!)
To start this blog off right I need to let everyone know that God knew my dad was with me on this trip. It was the fastest and easiest (traffic free mostly) trip ever! For those that know my dad...this was much needed for the two of us ha!

My MRI was only about 45+ minutes this time opposed to my 2 hour ordeal the previous appointment so that calmed my nerves this visit. My IV was inserted with just 1 poke too. As they adjusted me out of the MRI machine to put the contrast in my I.V. he told me I had 7 more minutes....7 more minutes! I literally counted to 6 minutes and 50 seconds and low and behold I was 10 seconds too slow and it was finally over! (Note: for those that have ever heard a dial-up connection...it sounds like that with the addition of a woodpecker except you feel like its coming out of a theater surround system...try listening to that for 45+ min)I know, I know a MRI should be the least of my worries after what I have experienced up there but I did make the best of it and smiled until I left that wing of the building = )

On to the fastest ultrasound ever....not much to say other then I still feel like something is missing every time they do an ultrasound on my stomach and there's no baby haha!

Finally on to the oncologists reports! At the time they had only had my ultrasound in and that look good other then a large cyst that was detected on my ovary. I was told that I would receive a call when the MRI results came in...

Instead I called them first....surprised? Yeah I just couldn't wait any longer so when we approached Huntsville I made the call. My tumor is still gone so of course...CANCER FREE! I was told that they detected 3cm cyst (little over an inch..for those that don't know an inch is 2.54 cm) on my left ovary which is the lump that we have been concerned about for the past few months. I am going back to the Dr to see what we need to do about it.

Overall everything is good in the cancer department. The cyst is not cancerous nor can it turn into cancer. Some are harmful but as far as I know from this point mine is normal and the only thing abnormal at this point is the size. I will keep everyone updated on how that goes.

To end this blog I would like to thank all of my family & friends that have prayed along the way. I have truely felt them. There is no doubt that you guys have comforted me along this journey. I admire everyone for being so involved and keeping up with our family. We truely feel the love! God is in control and with him and prayer.....I know I already have the best medicine!
I also want to add special thanks to my dad for taking me!
