Waiting....

UPDATE:

So the results aren't so good- but not horrible either. There has been some growth. Yup, the G word- yuck. My main tumor has grown by about 10%- 8.8 cm to 9.9 cm and a new lesion has developed on the lining outside of the lung. We haven't seen the actually scan yet which we will get tomorrow on CD. Things will be more clear then. On with chemo. I start again tomorrow. I was upset for a couple hours and now am back to fighting- I AM GOING TO WIN. It is hard to hear this but dwelling in the negative sure isn't going to make it go away. Fighting and staying positive is my only option. On with healing!

Now I need to call the family- the hardest part.


I get the results of my scan today at 1:00pm- lots of anxiety. Please send positive vibes my way! :)

Alison, your spirit and grit are astounding. I know you can beat this. I pray for you every day, there's a little sticky note on my computer monitor to remind me first thing in the morning.

I hope you know how much we all admire you, and what a tremendous young woman you are.

I just found your blog this week, but my husband and I are thinking of you and praying our heads off for you...

BlondeJustice said...

Little Ms. Girlysmack lead me to your blog and can I just say that your positivity and strength move me.

Try to find a quiet place, still your mind and invision your body as if cancer never entered it. Visualization is an incredibly powerful tool, especially when it comes to health.

Please know that I am sending you and yours much love and positive vibes. :)

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27)

"For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. (2 Tim. 1:7)

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." (Isaiah 43:2)

"We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
(2 Cor. 4:8-9)

Hold tight to the promises of God, my friend. His Word is sure and steadfast. You're daily in my thoughts and prayers!
