An update....

 

Forgive me if i haven't called you to tell you my good news....i tried to call one of you and babbled and cried with relief on the phone so i figured that emails and posting would be the way to go. No sense in my calling if you can't understand a word i'm saying, eh? ;)

None of my six 'mixed mass' thingy turned out to have cancer cells. To say that Robert and i are thrilled, relieved and very thankful is an understatement. I do have something called Hashimoto's Disease (leave it to me to have a disease that i can't spell of pronounce!)which is thought to be a hereditary thyroid problem. While reading the symptoms, it became clear that i fit this. It is manageable and i'll have to have scans done every four months. No medicines yet and i'm thankful for that but i have a feeling that will change. It was surprising to hear how common this disease is and troublesome, too. Why is it so common, i wanted to know? And of course, there isn't any answer to that. Taking care of myself is important and eating less processed foods/sugary foods seems to help so, i'll take that.

And of course, if there is such a thing as "luck", i feel that i had it with me yesterday. This was a huge, kick-in-the-pants wake up call that i needed. I am good about taking care of Robert's health and encouraging "him" to eat healthy and work out. Now it's time to do all that i encourage my husband to do...

....and thank you for checking on me, emailing me, calling me (even when i didn't answer or return calls) and cards. I'm blessed to have you guys! :))

btw, these past two photos on my post are from our trip to Maui last year. Amazing, eh?
