To All My Friends,
Not Sure where to start with this but here goes,
First, I want to Thank Thunderstorm and Jarhead for keeping everyone updated.
Second, I want thank my husband for being who he is and standing next to me in this fight, I couldnt do it without him.
Finally I want to thank each and everyone of you for your support it makes the pain a little less and fills my heart with love and courage.
Recently a heart became available and because of time we had to fly to florida. In arriving to the hospital as always the doctors run a series of test to make sure there is no fever, infections and so on. However my blood test came back with my WBC or white blood count extremely elevated after ruling out all other possible reasons a simple chest xray showed up with a mass the size of two half dollars put together on top of my left breast. The heart was given to someone else and an operation was performed to remove the mass. The mass was tested and it had indeed tested positive for breast cancer.
The cancer was detected early which is good and a coarse of intense chemo therapy began and will continue for the next 5 weeks. I had 3 weeks of chemo and have started to lose my hair but I must say thank god for wigs...
As far as my heart well for now its stable and handling chemo semi well. I have been removed for the unos donor list for now and hopefully in a few weeks we will see how things are.
Ending this in a positive note, Im sending this to all of you...
To My Dear Ones
You know who you are.
You are the ones
who hold me close
in your hearts,
whose tender hugs
transcend my fears
into the loving light
that builds my strength.
You are the ones
who help me find peace
in my war against a disease
that hides sheepishly
in my bones.
You are the ones
with whom I dance
and share the music and laughter
that fills my soul with joy.
Your acts ! of love and kindness
lift my spirit to climb great heights,
mountains steep and fierce, yet tackled
with the unyielding support of camaraderie
infused with hope and passion.
When in the night I cannot sleep,
I invite you in.
Thoughts of you and memories I cherish
bring me comfort
and fill the darkest recesses
of my mind.
And as the mystery of this life unfolds
I journey forth with a lightness in my step,
and a smile upon my face,
as I am certain
I will never walk alone.
And so it is,
with gratitude and a humble heart
I say thank you,
my dear ones,
for being by my side.
Thanks for all The Support!!!
