I know I've been non-existent on here for weeks now but I psychically can't do it.
Now that most of our immediate family knows I'm at a place where everyone can now know. I've been very sick and in and out the hospital for a week at time for the last 3 weeks. The first thought because the white blood cell count is so low that there was a major infection somewhere in the body but after multiple CT scans and MRIs the infectious disease doctors and hospital could not find said infection but treated me with multiple IV and oral antibiotics for a week straight. They then called in the oncologist and hematologist. They found that every lymph node and my spleen are all enlarged. They suspected lymphoma cancer. That has not been ruled out. I was discharged last Monday afternoon with follow up appointments with the infectious disease doctors, oncologist and hematologist out patient for the biopsy. By Friday I was so sick again that we went to Gainesville. They started fluids and did another CT with contrast. The doctor came in and gave us the news no one wants to hear. They seen everything Piedmont seen but they found more abnormal things. He didn't want to go into details because the biopsies are the only way to 100% confirm the diagnosis. He told us that they are 99% sure that I have some type of bone cancer. The follow ups out patient were scheduled for the end of the month but he said we can not wait that long. My grandfather got me into the City of Hope cancer hospital in Newnan. We should have that appointment by tomorrow and hopefully have the consultation and scheduled biopsies very soon. They agree we can't wait to get the definite diagnosis and treatments started. My white blood count is steadily dropping. As of Friday it was back down to a 1.2 which should not be possible according to the doctors. Especially with the amount of antibiotics they pumped through me for said infection.
I am so weak and sleeping a lot. My body hurts all over even with the pain medicine they have given me to take. I can't keep anything down even with zofran. I'm still fighting the fevers. I had a good day yesterday but by bedtime I was super sick and have not improved much today.
We need all the prayers and good thoughts we can get. No one is taking this easy. We're praying that they only find one tumor and nothing has spread any where else. And if by some miracle God can heal me would be great. Our whole church family is stepping up to help with meals, running errands for us or anything they can do. Sunday was the first in 3 weeks that I was able to force myself to go. Our pastors and church family all prayed over us after service. I'm not afraid of the cancer or dying but I'm not ready to leave my babies. I'm not done with them yet. I am going to fight this like hell. I have no choice. I have my faith and I know that whatever God's will is will be done. I'm prepared to fight and overcome this. The devil can't win this fight. 💜
