As the holiday's approach, I realized it's been over a year since I have been back to FS. This last year has been filled with treatments and appts. for cancer. All of my energy has been spent on that fight. My last reports three months ago show me cancer free. Praise God!
Along the cancer journey, I started really taking care of myself and following my food and water intake as part of it. I am down 31 pounds since I first came here...and counting as I rapidly approach the first time in 15 years that my weight will be under 200 pounds.
It is amazing how one can seemingly slide into a routine of unhealthy habits and not even realize it. My worst was not eating until late in the evening.
In the last year and a half, I have cut the majority of carbs (other than fruit) from my diet. I am now off three of the four diabetic meds I was taking and down to 1/3 of the final one. I am off blood pressure meds completely (2 of them) and rarely have the need to take muscle relaxers for back pain or Advil.
Wishing you all well. KLynn, I am so very proud of you! What an amazing progress you have made....and to all of you!

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes as I started this cancer fight. I can't tell you what they mean to me...there just aren't any words!
It's a difficult time....things to go through, decisions to make, phone calls and conversations to have.
God is so very gracious! I would not even know about this development if not for a trip to the ER that wasn't "anything major". It is not difficult to see his hand in this making sure the detection of the changes came 6 months earlier than it would have without that ER trip. I know that He is in charge of all of it and am working really hard to do the things I need to do in this journey.
I don't weigh often, but noticed last night that I could actually SEE my belly to inject my insulin! That may not seem like much, but that is a major NSV for me! The scale even reflected 2 pounds off this morning. SURPRISE!
I hope you all have a fabulous Sunday and thank you again for all of your prayers and support!

It's been a week since I made an entry and longer since I've been on the scales. I have to admit that it hasn't been a huge priority this week, but I have kept to my eating plan.
We traveled to Anchorage on Tuesday for the PET scan I had to get to find out what is going on with the nodule in my lung that has increased in size during the last 6 months. It was a long and tiring trip, but got it done. That has had to be my priority lately.
The results came back on Wednesday night showing what I already knew in my gut. The nodule is malignant as well as two lymph nodes nearest it. I am being referred to an oncologist (hopefully next week). The interpretation of the results show this as a primary lesion. That is the good news (if there is any in this situation). It is obviously aggressive since it has doubled in size in six months. The sooner I get the oncology appointment, the better I'll feel about the prospects.
It is what it is and we'll deal with whatever has to be done as it comes along. God is gracious. If it had not been for the chest pains last week that sent me to the ER where the CT showed the growth, I would not have had my follow-up scan for another three months. I am so grateful for His intervention in getting the headstart!
There hasn't been any time to catch up on all of you dear friends progress or struggles until now. I apologize for that and pray you are all doing well.
God Bless.

The last year and a half have been really stressful for me. Hubby had two knee replacements (first one and then 3 months later the other). I came down with the RSV virus (dangerous for babies, older folks and those with lung problems) and spent a week in the hospital on oxygen. Came home needing oxygen for another couple of weeks. I developed cellulitis (staph infection) on my belly that was evidentally from insulin injection points while I was hospitalized. Six weeks of antibiotics finally healed that, but it was very painful and scary. I got another cold. I got the stomach flu. I had to go to ER for a kidney stone in October....always fun..NOT! The kidney stone decided to take up residence in my bladder wall rather than exit my body like previous ones have done. Last Thursday, I had surgery to remove the stone. I went through a couple of days of extreme pain and dry heaves (from anesthetic). I finally got to the place where I thought I was on an even keel only to start having horrible chest pains and yet another ambulance ride to the ER. Life in the fast lane!
They ran a lot of test at the hospital including a CT to rule out a pulmonary embolism (which was negative and that's a good thing!). The scan showed that the small lung nodule I have had for a couple of years has changed. I woke up yesterday to a call from my diabetic nurse telling me that I needed to have a PET scan to determine if the nodule decided to become malignant. It threw me for a loop, to say the least. There is no PET scanner where we live. We have to fly to Anchorage to have the scan done. It's scheduled for Tuesday. Am I scared? Yes.
It has been one thing after another for nearly two years and I am really tired...physically and emotionally. Sometimes I wonder if I can handle anything more. My head tells me that I am stronger than I think, but my feelings disagree.
I guess everything is in limbo until I get the results of this scan the end of next week.
