My cancer is back.
I have a handful of masses scattered throughout the mid-section of my body. There is one pressing on my spleen and an other pushing on my liver. Thankfully though none of them are ON my organs.
Dr. Sharma will be doing some research this weekend to find the best course of treatment. Since my cancer is so rare there aren't many reports to go by, so he wanted to take a couple days to dive in to the liturature and make some calls to find what can be done. I should hear back from him Monday or Tuesday.
In my devotions this morning, I came upon this verse again. It is such a comfort to know that God is with me and has a plan for my life, even though it might not be the same plan that I wanted to have.
"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave or forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:8
Please keep me in your prayers...thank you!

Why does cancer strike so young?
My friend from grade school, Deb, is married to Nate. They live in Michigan. Nate and Deb have twins, Landon and Morgan, who are three years old. Up until recently everything in their life was normal.
Nate was just diagnosed with stage IV melanoma cancer (liver). He is currently undergoing chemotherapy. His cancer is rare and his chemo is a trial. He has a very positive attitude and is optimistic. Nate is blessed enough to be able to be back at work. But he still needs our prayers. As we know, prayer is a powerful thing!

February Already?!?
Where does the time go?! I cannot believe that it is already a handful of days into February! Time sure does fly by.
I would have to say it is good that it is February because that means winter is half over. I am definately ready for the spring to be here. My little tootsies are craving the sun.
We have had a ton of snow this winter. Thankfully though, most of it has fallen at night or on the weekends, allowing me to sit and watch it fall, or to wake up to a beautiful snow covered yard. As much as I don't like the snow, it truly is an amazing thing!
I don't really have much to say. Nothing new or interesting is going on in my life. It has been kinda boring, but I'll take it after the year I had last year.
School is going great. I love teaching middle school...especially math! One of the other teachers stopped me in the hall the other day and told me that somehow her class was discussing hair and my hair was part of the conversation. Now for all of you who haven't seen me in a while, my hair is still quite short, but it is at one of those akward stages where it isn't long enough for a trim, but it is getting a little scraggly. I just went to the store and bought a product to use because I was sick of it being so fluffy on top. Anyways, she informed me that her whole class thought that my hair was so cool and that it looked so good. That made me smile.
Middle school kids. Random. Very.
