THERE IS NO SPREADING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you LORD! I just am in such SHOCK right now. We waited ALL DAY and it was a torturous wait for sure. We didn't think we were going to hear anything til tomorrow as the hours were getting later in the day...I was attached to my phone. A VERY familiar feeling to the wait for referral or travel call BUT WORSE if there can be anything worse then that wait...(dramatic okay but it was a tough wait for me)....ANYWAY...My dad called and said "Cancer contained in the uterus...Cancer did not spread to the ovaries or lymph nodes!!!!" He was crying as u can imagine. My wonderful husband is at work and was going to go to Florida this week but decided since we were all so anxious about this he would stay home and if I felt okay he would go. What a sweet man he is....SO we are still waiting to hear from the doctor if she will need radiation or not but PRAISE GOD the cancer DID NOT spread. Thank you for your prayers. I feel forever changed by this and hope I will be...MY MOM IS GOING TO BE OKAY!

Okay thank you all SOOOOOOO much for your prayers. This is SUCH a huge relief.

Love to you all

update, maya and welcome home!

UPDATE ON MY MOM
Sorry I haven’t updated sooner. My mom went thru surgery which ended up being longer then we thought and about 5 hours later then we thought. The doctor was running behind…anyway, he was a wonderful doctor and said that when he got inside he said everything looked normal, the lymph nodes look like lymph nodes but we will have to wait till Monday or Tuesday to see about the pathology report. SO we are waiting…patiently waiting. My mom is doing MUCH better today. Still in a lot of pain but HAPPY to be home…I will update more later. Thank you so much for your prayers, emails and calls.

Love you all
Josh, Julie, Maya

WELCOME HOME Liz, Karen and Sharon and everyone else who was in the last travel group! I cannot WAIT to see more pics of your kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE

UPDATE ON JULIE'S MOM:

After a long day of waiting, Julie's mom is finally out of surgery. Her surgery did not start on time and she was waiting for hours (I think close to 4 hours).

The Doctor came out after surgery and said no visible cancer outside of the uterus but can't say for sure until pathology reports come back on Monday. Please pray that Julie's mom is able to have a restful night after having surgery.

Thanks for your prayer!

Tracie :-) (for Julie)

My Mom's Surgery Day...Tomorrow

Well this morning my mom had her pre-op for surgery. Good news...she might not have to even stay overnight if they end up being able to do the surgery laproscopically. Thats wonderful news. She is just trying to get thru today and on to tomorrow. Her surgery is at 12:30 or 1pm. Have to be at the hospital at 10:30 am. Please pray for the following for her. That the CANCER DID NOT SPREAD. That would be the BEST news! AND, that she would be peaceful and not anxious. Please pray for my dad and sister. This is very hard on them as well. (as u can imagine) soooooooo I am leaving a picture of my mom and dad for u to see. Who would have ever thought this would be my 100th post...about my mom having cancer. Whew...what a last few weeks.

DOCTOR UPDATE

So, today my mom had her doctor appt. The great news is that she will do the hysterectomy thru a laparoscope so she doesn't have that major surgery. He said b/c she is so little he can do it this way... Thats a 2 week recovery vs a 6-8 week recovery so that's AMAZING news. That is something I know was weighing on my mom. Thank God for that. The next is that my mom LOVED the doctor. He looks like Mel Gibson she said :)...Next he said that MOST people are cured from this type of cancer (Uterine or Endometrial) so WE ARE CHOOSING TO BELIEVE my mom will be cured! Still PRAYING that there is no spreading! Once she has the hysterectomy we will have to wait for the call to see if there was spreading. Depending on what the doctor finds will depend on what the next step is...radiation, chemo etc...PRAYING FOR NON OF THE ABOVE but trusting as well.

On a side not my mom just looks so gorgeous and peaceful. It is unbelievable. Thank you for everyone's prayers, calls, emails etc.....we feel so loved.

Today, my best friend Kelly and her mom Dori, Kell's boys and Maya went to the park to wait for the call. They have been so unbelievably supportive to my mom and I. I just cannot imagine going through this without Kelly. What a ROCK she has been.

Last but not least...TROY and AMBER were accepted by AGCI and are starting their dossier sooooooooo soon! CONGRATULATIONS to my new friends!
