To all my supporters

I have no idea how to start this blog. I just got off the phone with Sam telling him my results from Dr. Hui. She was an oncologist I saw today. If I stay at Morris she will be my Doctor through this time of my treatment.(i may switch to a new Doctor in Roseville to be close to home) She went over with me the things Dr. Bodai told her. They both agree that my tumor is around 3.5-4 cm in size. Due to this size, over 1 cm, Chemotherapy is advised. Dr. Hui received the results back form the biopsy telling us if the tumor was Estrogen/progesterone +/- recepted. Mine came back + which opens up the opportunity to take Tamoxifen. This is the long term hormonal therapy. There is nothing pretty about this drug other than it decreasing the chances for recurring cancer. The major down side of this is the need to be cautious not to get pregnant during this time. Therefore, during the five years I need to take it I will be unable to have children. So this sounds like a downer, but honestly if this is the trial that God intended for me to have then Bring It On! I know that I will get out on top and I will have become closer to God and see more good in life. The whole purpose for us to be here is to strengthen our relationship and understanding of God. I will be eternally grateful for this trail and especially all of you. All of you have taught me so much about service and how to have a tender heart towards all that are around me. Thank you all so much for your individual love and support. Well.... Chemo starts on Monday the 21st at 10:30. Since they want to be aggressive about my treatment they wanted me in as soon as possible. Usually one will go to a chemo class, but I will get all the info on chemo an hour before. Sam will be coming with me to hear the information about chemo and he will sit with me for 3 hours while I am getting treated. Sam has been a really great emotional strength and he really keeps me happy. So far my Parents have gone to all my appointments, which have been many and they have also been a big help and support. Oh, I know that you all probably have more questions that I have not answered. If any of you have questions you can either call me or write a comment and i will respond to you. Sometimes on your comments I don't always recognize who they have come from and I would love to know who you are! Please type your name if your comment does not give clear identification of who you are. Wow, i can not believe the amount of love that I am receiving. Hearing stories about people telling people about me and the prayers and the love that is given for me is so touching. I thank you much and will be letting you all know how Chemo goes for me.
