I love Sundays a quiet day after church with my girls….today is the first day that I have actually had time to think about the events that have taken place over the last week and a half. I had surgery on September 30 with inoperative radiation. And then early last week we got the word that it was in fact stage 1 breast cancer. As I think I posted before that it is not a big deal….that the DR. was 100% sure she removed everything during the surgery

As I sit here and think about the past few weeks everything happened so quickly, but I had already promised that I would help plan a charity event. And there was so many people counting on me to get things done. I did not have time to think about what was happening or to feel to sorry for myself. I think that this was a true blessing, and I am beyond grateful for Ryan Davis and the Ryan’s Pennies Foundation for keeping me busy and side tracked the last few weeks, it helped to keep me grounded and level headed.

I will go in this week for a full body scan and then the team of doctors will put in place a game plan for my treatment. It looks as if it will only require radiation and just a week long of going in for about 10-15 minutes a day. NO BIG DEAL right? Well till you think about what this is currently doing to my body….my mouth is hurting so bad my teeth hurt beyond belief and I have sores all over my mouth….UGH!!!

I am so grateful to everyone who brought in dinner to the girls and I, to everyone who checked on me, called me, sent me a text.

Yesterday as we had gotten in the car to head out to Layton for our charity event we stopped at the mailbox and there was a package in there addressed to me. I opened it and it was a beautiful guardian angel and every kind of heart candy you could imagine with 2 beautiful cards. One from my niece Laila and one from Wendy this made me cry right away and the girls said those are happy tears right mom? I said yes, I do not think they realize how much this made my day or my week!  My angel and cards sit on my night stand and remind me that I am not alone J

Thank you!!

Today at church someone asked me how I was doing and I was OK till she asked me then I started crying and cried all day!  We had made plans to go over to see the Gomez house in Daybreak. I was very lucky to get in touch with her and had her come out to the Ryan’s Pennies Foundation kick off. She was so sweet to show the girls and me the entire house. As I left there thinking of the everyday struggle she deals with and the unknown. I am even more grateful for my circumstances and knowing that everything will be OK!

I look forward to the end when they say OK you can now do reconstructive surgery, I could never justify a boob job before but after this I think I can!
