More bad news...

So we went to my follow up appointment last week and we found out they did get all the Melanoma out of my leg but that the cancer had spread to the Lymph Nodes. They only found a microscopic amount in each of the three nodes they took out but they are concerned that they found it in all three. Shawn and I were in such shock, we couldn't even think of what to say we were holding back the tears until the doctors left. We thought for sure that the cancer hadn't spread so we were very scared. We had my family come over again to give us both blessing to help us through this trying time. I will tell you that it has REALLY helped me not be so worried. I know that things will all be okay in the end but we just have to get through the next couple months and everything will be okay.

What I have to do next is deliver Celee with in the next 3 to 4 weeks. My OBGYN said to me today that we might be able to have my c-section on April 10Th as long as her lungs are good. Which will put me at 37 weeks. So we will monitor her and know more the closer we get to that date. Once I have delivered her they will do a Cat Scan and an MRI to make sure it hasn't spread through out the rest of my body. Then about a week later they will do another surgery to take out the rest of the Lymph Nodes in my groin to make sure they got all of it out of that area. I'm not looking forward to all of the surgery's but I am ready to have this all over with and just get to relax with my cute little family in our new house.

I just want to say thanks to all my family and friends for ALL their support. All of your visits, phone calls and even little text messages help out so much to know that people are thinking and praying for you. I would never be able to get through all of this with out every single person in my life, you all mean the world to me. I know that Shawn and I will live a long happy life together and grow old together! I love you honey and thanks for being my rock through all of this, your strength keeps me going each day! Ü

Bad news...

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while it has been a rough couple of weeks. A few days after moving in with Jamie and Dave I was a work and got a phone call from my dermatologist telling me they received my results back from my biopsy on a spot on my leg and it came back as Melanoma. I was so shocked I couldn't even speak. I never would have thought that at my age I would get skin cancer. I was so scared I called Shawn and my mom right away. My family was also in such shock. That night a few of them came over to give me a blessing, it helped out so much to calm our nerves. The next day they were able to get me into the Huntsman Cancer Center to meet with a Melanoma surgeon. Dr. Andtbacka told me that it is in the very early stages and that they would like to do surgery right away. So this past Monday they had me go get some radioactive injections around the area to see what limp nodes the cancer could have spread to. Then on Tuesday I went in for surgery. I was so scared to have to be put out that it may hurt the baby but we talked to so many doctors reassuring us that the baby would be totally fine. They had to take more area off of my calf and take out 3 limp nodes out of my groin to have biopsied to make sure it didn't spread. They sounded pretty confident that it hadn't but we will find out the results next Wednesday when I go in for my check up. I can't wait for this all to be over. It has been a really trying time right now with just moving and having a baby on the way now with this big news. I want to let my family and friends know that I love them and couldn't have gone through this without their support.

Moving Day 2/27

So we finally moved out of our house. We had a lot of our family members come over to help us on the big day. It was sad to leave our first home. We moved everything to a storage shed that's close to our lot up in South Weber where we are going to build our next house. I can't wait for them to dig the hole in the next couple weeks! I want to say a big THANKS to our family's. They helped out so much, and they are the best! We could have never done this without them. Ü
