News from the Dr but a great weekend!

    So... I didn't really have the kind of Dr's appointment that I wanted to have this last week but I had prepared myself for the worst and if I got some good news well then I could celebrate that. If I am going to be completely honest I knew that there had been some changes and that I would be getting some of the news that I expected. My biggest concern though was that I was going to have to be doing whole brain radiation. This is where the good news comes in, all though we have at least 2 to 3 new spots and the other spots that have already been treated do look bigger my Dr feels like they are bigger because of scar tissue and not because the tumors are growing. He also feels like the new tumors that are there now can also be treated by Gamma Knife again. He really wants to wait until we have no other choice to do the whole brain radiation. Not that I am so excited to do Gamma Knife again but this option is so much better then the whole brain radiation! My Dr will be presenting my case to a Gamma Knife board and they will make a decision on my case in a few weeks. I will be going back to see my Dr on the 29th and I will know more at that point but we are probably looking at doing Gamma Knife again sometime in June.
     I am so thankful that I had a very busy weekend planned to keep my mind off of the news. I was really struggling with my feeling on Thursday and really wasn't quite sure how I felt about things. We had lots of people at the house on Friday night as we were all getting up nice and early on Saturday morning for the Race for the Cure walk. I can't even tell you how wonderful it was to have so many of my friends and family there supporting me! It meant the world to me and I love each and every one of these people for being there and getting up so early with me!

  These were some of those wonderful people  minus some that were cut out of the picture or even taking the picture. What an amazing group of people! Sunday I was able to spend the day with all 4 of my children. I love my children so much and am so thankful for them. They make my life complete and remind me that no matter what happens to me there will always be a little bit of me in them and that I will be still here after I am gone. So all in all I am thankful for this wonderful week and for the wonderful people that I have around me who help me to contiune to fight and love me every day!
