Bad News

I hate sounding like a Debbie Downer, which I'm really not, but I did get some bad news. After meeting with my oncologist yesterday, the consensus is that I must terminate the pregnancy. If I was a lot farther along it could be different, but since I am so early, there really is no other choice. I need a bone scan yet and then will start treatment as early as next week. Monday and Tuesday will be the worst days of my life to date. D & C is scheduled for Tuesday, perhaps as early as Monday. I am prepared, but so sad. I'm so sad. I'm glad that I have my perfect boy and Joshua is the best. I am so lucky to have my support of my family.

Last night I slept better than I have in weeks. I had the right pain pill and slept virtually pain free last night. Sleeping did a lot for me emotionally. I'm excited to start treatment. Since I had such a long remission from my cancer last time, nearly 17 years, they will probably use the same cocktail as before. I will be going once a week for chemo, for 3 months. Hopefully it will be in remission by then and then I will be on hormone therapy for the rest of my life.

Asa has a soccer game today at 1 and then Joshua and I are double dating with Sissy and Norm after. The weather is gorgeous today and we are having lunch al fresco and then to a movie. Star Trek. Sissy and I did not pick the movie :) Tomorrow is Mother's Day and we will all be having lunch together. I'm lucky to have my family. And lucky to have my cyber family too.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts and I will continue to need them throughout my week next week as it will be one of the hardest of my life.

There are no words at a time like this...I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am going to put you on my new church's prayer chain. I hope that's ok. I know it worked when Tyler was sick. You have the most amazing family, let them be your strength.
Love, hugs and postive thoughts!

Trina,

I don't know you but came across your sister's comments on facebook. I am so sorry. I will keep you in my prayers. I am recovering from a double mastectomy right now from breast cancer. I also know that at any time I may get the same news. You sound amazingly strong and have a wonderful support... but know that a girl from California will be here cheering you on! Again I am so sorry for all of this... cancer truly sucks and then some!

But this is what the LORD says:
"Yes, captives will be taken from warriors,
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;
I will contend with those who contend with you,
and your children I will save.

Trina you dont know me, but I got to know your sister when we were thinking of adopting from Guatemala. We've since lost touch but I always have remembered how she spoke of her family. I am sooo very sorry for all you're going thru. I cant even begin to imagine. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and know you will overcome this.. the little I know of your sis.. she is strong and know you are too. It doesnt make things any better but just know so many out there are thinking and praying for you! Take good care.. Again soo very sorry!
