A Quick Update

I just wanted give you all a quick update at where things stand for me right now. This past Monday, I had a PET scan to see if my cancer has spread to any other areas of my body. Yesterday, I had a mediport implanted so that I am ready to start chemo as soon as the doctors are ready. I'll be meeting with my cancer team on Monday, so I should have a better idea of things to come then. I'm ready to get the ball rolling! 

As for how I'm feeling, I feel pretty good! I realize that the journey I am about embark on is not going to be an easy one, I have faith that everything will be fine in the end. I refuse to live my life consumed with worry, doubt, and fear. Living in fear, is not really living if you ask me! 

Thanks for all of your prayers and encouragement!  :)

    Positivity goes a long way in situations like this!

    You're in our prayers, and I hope the chemo works well and without too many side effects.
