Good Day Sunshine! - Monday, April 23rd

I absolutely love the sunshine. It adds an extra hop to my step when the sun is brightly shining. We had a fun family BBQ yesterday to celebrate my mom and niece's birthday. It was so much fun! We laughed and laughed! I Love My Family!!

So many of you have asked for an update on our Exciting Cancer Journey and now we have more information, we would love to share it with you. This is definitely a personal journey for our family, but if it can help just one of you then we would love to share our story with all of you. This past week has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I went back into visit with my surgeon this past Monday and was expecting him to send me home with great news that my incision was healing well and it was time to start treatment. Although he did tell me that the incision was healing wonderfully, he also added that the pathology reports came back and they did not feel confident with the amount of cancer tissue they removed. He then explained that the only way they could guarantee that all the cancer cells were removed from my body was a Mastectomy. Wow, that was like a sucker punch to the stomach!! I was not expecting that at all. To make a long story short, we visited with a couple other Dr.'s through out the week and have come to a final decision. Next week I will be going into surgery for a Double Mastectomy and Reconstructive surgery. We feel very confident that this is the right decision. The double mastectomy will give me a less than 1% chance of this cancer coming back versus a 40% chance of it returning if we only remove one side. Also, with the double Mastectomy, there will be no reason for Chemo or Radiation!!! WooHoo!! I am so thrilled about that. There will be multiple surgeries after this one to help with the reconstruction, but the cancer will be GONE!!! What a miracle. I am so grateful that this cancer was found! Eric and I have said over and over that the Lord truly had his hand in every moment of our lives over the past few months. Everything was laid out perfectly and we are so grateful. Thank you Everyone! Your cards, flowers, visits, emails and phone calls have been absolutely overwhelming. You will never know how much they have meant to our family! We especially appreciate your prayers of comfort, not only for Eric and I, but for our sweet kids! This can be a traumatizing time for young kids and they have truly felt the spirit and know that our Savior and Heavenly Father love them and are aware of them. We love you and appreciate you all! Thank You!!
