No News Yet!

I called the doctors office and they said that they would have to pull my chart and have the nurse call me back. I said okay. (that was at 9:30 am) around 12 I heard from them, my heart started racing a little bit since the nurse paused for a moment, then she went on to say, what did you need from us. I took a deep breath and said that I wanted to see if my test results are back and what they might be. She said okay what did you have going on..... what test results. So I had to explain the whole thing, then she said okay I looked up your file and it doesn't have anything in there yet. I also looked up the computer and still nothing back yet, but that she will do some more looking around to see if they have come back yet.

I explained to her that I really would like those test results because we are supposed to move at the end of the month, and I need to plan things out if I do have cancer. She then said Oh Wow, yes I totally agree. I said thank you and she said that nothing has come back but that she will be telling all the nursing staff to be on the look out for my test results and that they still have to show them to the doctor first before I can be contacted. I told her that I understand and that it is fine. I just ask to be notified as soon as possible.

She also said that they had an appointment for me to go over how everything went in my surgery and to go over the test results good or bad. I asked her if she was talking about my appointment to see if I was all the way healed which is on the 22nd of this month. She replied yes. I told her that my packers are coming that day and that I need to know of the test results before that day if it is possible. So that is where we are right now. I have a promise from the nurse that they will be keeping their eyes out for my test results and showing them to the doctor before they will call me and let me know. So I am going to keep on praying that I get the results before my appointment on the 22nd. I am trying to have patience. It hasn't really been a strong point for me, but I can tell ya that I am getting better. : )

As far as Isaac's results, they did have his in and I am happy to say that he does not have diabetes, but that he had a little bit of bacteria in his urine, so the antibiotics cleared that all up! : )

Much Needed Update!

I figured that I needed to give a more detail update on what has been going on in our family. I didn't want to put everything on Facebook, since it is dealing with a little graphic details, not horrible but more then what I wanted on Facebook, so here it goes. Right before leaving on our trip (I will have pictures soon to share) I had immense pain on my left abdomen. We prayed to guide the doctors to know what to do. Personally I thought that it was a uti going into my kidneys. I went to the doctor and he said that I didn't have a uti and that he thought it was a cyst. Which I have had before on my left ovary.

He said that there wasn't anything they could do unless it was really big and then they could cut it off. He looked at us and then said that there might be something that could be done but that he needed to check. We said okay and waited. He came in and said you need to go see your surgeon. Lim and I were both surprised by this suggestion but said okay. They were able to get me in the next day. My surgeon did some ultrasounds and said that I have polycystic ovaries. (which must have developed during or after I had Kimmi) With polycystic ovaries you normally can not become pregnant. So the surgeon was pretty surprised that I have had four children. Anyway with all of my problems that I have had with heavy bleeding and with my sister having germ cell cancer of her ovary he decided it would be good to do a partial hysterectomy, where he would remove my left ovary and my uterus. We set the date for quickly after we return from our vacation. We went on our vacation and loved seeing our family and friends! I did have pain from time to time but with some pain medication and some prayers we had a pretty good time! : ) We arrived home on Sunday evening the 22nd of May. We went and took the chillins to the dentist, and then did my labs.

Tuesday we went into the hospital for my surgery at 6 am. We asked the nurse how long it would take and she said roughly 1hr to 1 hour in a half, because there were some possibilities like too much scar tissue and all that jazz. Anyway my surgery ended up being 2 in a half hours. Lim said the surgeon came out sweating like crazy when he talked to him shortly after my surgery. He then told Lim that my left ovary was almost the size of my uterus! We were all shocked! With all the ultrasounds that we had it never showed my left ovary being as big as my uterus! He said that my right ovary looked good and there for he left it inside. He also said that he was sending my uterus in to have it checked for cancer. He feels that it isn't cancer, but he wanted to be safe. He also said to me the next day, that if I do have cancer I have to come in to have the right ovary removed before going through the treatments.

I am recovering well. I feel like myself, the hard part is trying not to do too much. I know we are getting ready to move and I want to get my house ready for it. I have done the kitchen for the most part and the living room. I have a peace about this situation. I can't say that I know for sure that I don't have cancer but I can say this, that if I do have cancer I will be alright. I have felt my Saviors love and have seen his hand in this trial that we are facing right now. I don't have all the answers but I do know that I will make it through this.

My personal thoughts that I am having right now is that I don't think I have cancer. Also that I would not like to have it because if I do that will throw our plans for pcs'ing (moving) to Ft. Bragg way off. If I do have cancer I would have to go into surgery again which means another four weeks of recovery and then who knows how long for treatments. Where I would have those treatments, I don't know, neither would I know if Lim would be able to stay with me, nor what to do with the children.

So I figure until I have been told, Yes I do have cancer, I have adopted John Bytheway's Motto: I'm going to keep going until I am told to stop. : ) So I am not planning, or really even thinking about the what ifs'. I am just going to keep planning this move. I am grateful for the power of the priesthood and that I have it in my home. : ) The test results are supposed to be in this Tuesday so I am hoping to hear from them on Tuesday if not I will be calling on Wednesday. As soon as we know we will be posting our results.

On a side note, we are also waiting for test results for Isaac to see if he has diabetes or a bladder infection. We brought him in last week to the doctor thinking he had a bladder infection. The doctor is thinking that he either has a bladder infection or diabetes. They drew his blood last week. We will keep you posted as soon as we find out anything. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! : ) We truly are blessed to have great family and friends. : )
