I'm writing this first blog with my new experience to open my life to those close to me that want to share and care.
I'm starting to blog for anyone curious or just wanting answers with my announcement that I have CANCER. I would love you to treat me like always, don't want any one feeling sorry for me, all I ask for is prayer an understanding. I will say what I want to say on. My blog, in case you wonder how I am.
I never would have thought a month before I turn 45, that this would be the road I would have to take, but know God has a plan for me. Im not angry at God, not scared of Him. He is my loving Father who only loves me, and guides me. Something fantastic will come from this - maybe I can help,others, maybe help the doctors lean more about it, and quiet frankly show that I am NOT vain and can humble myself to what the reality may be.
I just want to live and breathe this wonderful life in the same way I always did....Like the same Michelle. Keeping private matters, private, unless I feel like opening up.
My Facebook or Instagram will stay the same me, random as ever.
I will post about my journey, if you happen to wonder....or ask things here on my blog.
And please....spay and neuter your pets! =^.^=
I am pretty in tune to my body and realized something wasn't right, but thought it would be easily fixed at the drs office, on Wednesday, August 1. With several biopsies it was officially called "cancer" on Friday August 3. Being numb for days explains my reaction.
I didn't even want to talk about it. I believe at tHe time, not talking about it, meant it did not exist.
Now. For the "C" I have. The cancer was found on my cervix, it is called small cell carsinoma in the cervix or SCCC. In the USA There will be 11,000 diagnoses a year of cervical cancer. Only 100 will be small cell (what I have). Dr David got me with Dr Farzan the new Gyno oncologist for Harrington Cancer Center. His staff and nurse were so wonderful. I felt blessed they would be along with me. I had a PEP scan that showed my mass was contained, but I will need chemo treatments to kill the small cells that are in my body wanting to attach some other places. After chemo treatments, I will have a hysterectomy, and then possible radiology.
I start chemo on Thursday. Prayers would be great!!!!!
Prayers for you and your family in dealing with the challenges ahead. Wish you the very best!
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your family as you go on this journey! Keep a good attitude, that's half your battle!! You can and will BEAT it!!
ReplyDeleteMay God's healing hands wrap themselves around your beautiful body and make you well, sweet child. Our prayers here in Palestine will pour your way and you will be cured. You have a strong and loving family who will power you through. We love you very much... Aunt Linda, Uncle Scooter and family
ReplyDeleteWill be prayin daily!! You got this girl! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
PS-Sprocket's already spayed! hehehehe
Love you Michelle - I'll be praying for you, Jay and the girls - you're a tough cookie and so gracious and sweet that I know you can hadle this and beat this with the most gracious demeanor - an example to us all.... xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou were blessed with a strong personality for a reason.....attitude IS the biggest part of the battle. I will pray for you, not that I can even imagine the journey you are about to be on, but as a friend and sister in Christ, I will stand in the gap for you! And believe for healing with you! God's grace will cover you and your family! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOf course, prayers for you. The only thing I would say is, it's okay to be angry at God. In the Psalms, the ones by David especially, there is a lot of screaming, "Why me, God?!" and "When are you going to do something about this, God?!" That's natural. Don't feel like you have to be Wonder Woman about this. You're human, you are not alone, and you are loved. Don't be afraid to let people help.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, You brighten so many of my days so many times. Somehow, your very difficult news is shared in a hopeful spirit as well. I have no doubt that you will beat this damn thing and that you will maintain your joyful, playful spirit as you do. I am thankful that you have internal strength, faith, and a loving family. Here you go... I am praying that your journey is swift and the cure is complete.
ReplyDeleteYou are the most upbeat and generous person I know and i know what you would say to anyone else in this situation. Prayers your way for the both of the battles you will fight both physically and mentally! The Big C has chased my family relentlessly.
ReplyDeleteYou were up late! :) You said it well with that perfect MPeeps style! Sending love and hugs from the Harper's who are poolside in Kansas! See you Tuesday! xxxooo
ReplyDeleteLola sends her love, as well!
ReplyDeleteBless you, Michelle, and prayers that the heavens will open up and bring healing to your body. All is possible through God and a good attitude!
ReplyDeleteMichelle you and your family will be in my prayers. I know your great attitude and faith will get you through this. You will be an inspiiration to many others . You are a strong woman and you will win this battle. Love, hugs, and many prayers<3
ReplyDeleteMichelle - prayers coming from California. Your post was a blessing in itself - the way you are facing it and reaching out for support. And you've got it!
ReplyDeleteDear Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear the nasty C has entered your body. Do know that you will be added to my daily prayers. I have no doubt in my mind that you WILL beat this nasty disease. My very dear friend is battling cervical cancer and right now is winning. She didn't have a good prognosis and well 3 years later, she's still here and stronger. Much love to you and your family and I will most definitely have my pets spayed and neutered. <3 I will be rooting you on like a Friday night football game. <3
ReplyDeleteMay you and your family feel God's love surround you every moment of this tough journey ahead. Sending hugs and lots of prayers for complete healing and strength. Go, Fight, WIN!!!

ReplyDeleteYou all lifted me sooooo high!!!!
Cancer SUCKS! Fight the GOOD FIGHT! Your spirit for life and the love of your family and friends will give you the strength to CONQUER! Prayers for you as you beat this battle!!
