The small things..

My husband and our family have been on a rough journey lately and I am so grateful and blessed with all the kind words and support I have received. Thank you all to my family,  friends and even people I have never met. It's truly amazing how kind people can be.


A few fellow blog friends are especially  special to me. I want to give a special thanks to Chelsea and Tricia! I received a necklace made by Tricia, http://keierleber.blogspot.com/,  and it is so sweet and PERFECT! She sent me a personalized hand stamped necklace with all the most important dates and names on it. I love it. She is starting her business, so go check it out. Thank you again I love the necklace and it means a lot!


Also, thank you to Chelsea,http://thesals.blogspot.com/,  she sent me a card I got yesterday and It Def put a smile on my face. The kind words and sweetness is amazing. Her husband has fought his way through cancer and is cancer free! I am so lucky that she has reached out to me because she has been in my shoes and can relate. Thank you again Chelsea.


Big hugs to both you wonderful ladies. Y'all ROCK!

Precious Jewels

The title seems fitting to my life lately! As you know or may not know my husband had a very invasive surgery April 4th to remove a rare form of cancer he was diagnosed with.  Surgery went great and he is home and been recovering very well. Last week
we got another phone call that the cancer cells had spread/leaked into the soft tissue around where the mass and lymph nodes were.  Because the cancer is so rare all the doctors and surgeons had to have a meeting to decide what would be the next step and best treatment. Yesterday, we had an appointment and the verdict is to do fournrounds of chemo and radiation and the same time. Due to the cancer being so rare, theybare going to treat it like small cell lung cancer because from the research they do have the neuroendocrine carcinoma cancer of the thymus mimics the small cell lung cancer. Next week Oscar goes for MRI and PET scans to see if it has spread anywhere else, then ifneverything looksnokay he will start treatment the following week. Sonwith all the things going on in my life All things are precious to me.

A blogging friend who is such a wonderful woman with a huge heart ishosting a giveway and it ends on the 30th so go enter now. She has just decided to start a business and its making jewelry and it is special. I am obsessed with all things personalized and her jewelry is just that! So hurry and check it out!

News...

As of yesterday it has been two weeks since Oscars surgery and well he is up and moving very well! If you were to see him you would never know he just had the invasive surgery that he had. I'm so proud of him.

Another note, we had a consultation with a radiation oncologists and well.....all 8 lymph nodes they removed and the mass on his thymus that was removed, the pathology came back and they were all cancer. They believe that the cells were leaking into the surrounding tissue as well. So now all the doctors and surgeon that have been involved will meet with a medical oncologists to discuss further treatment. Meaning- radiation and chemotherapy. Do they do one ore the other? At the same time? Because this case is so rare a lot of research is to be done to ensure the best outcome! Now we just sit and wait for the phone call. Please continue prayers because our story is still not over. Thank you.

Oh and I can't forget my birthday is Tuesday, the 24th and Ill be 27!! Yay! Is it weird that it doesn't bother me that I am getting older?! Night night friend.
