My Goodness! I was emailed this link.... I had no idea you all were still praying for me . Truth of the matter is, I just don't know which way is up anymore much less which direction to turn . When the Drs said it was probably bone cancer, I think I fainted. Don't remember anything past that. Art was there with me, as always. NOT what I ever imagined could happen with this disease. So far the spots they found are on my ribs and left lung. Drs think it has spread to my legs and right arm because of the pain and difficulty I have with them. Been a loooooong past few nights. I have decided if it is past a stage 2, I WILL NOT have treatments. Art supports me on this. Bone cancer stage 3= Chemo-Radiation possible loss of limb(s) and months of life. Stage 4= Loss of limb(s)and of course certain death. The survival rate is <60% 3-5 years Stage 1 and 2 with bone removal. I am numb as a type this. My Lord has tested me to my limits. I have a wonderful family that is very supportive and is coming in from out of state, already getting the paperwork done to see if they may be a match, (If I need bone marrow). I have a huge extended family. We are praying that the Drs are wrong, but preparing for the worse. They feel pretty confidant as when the Xray showed a spot, I was sent right to CT Scan, and knew the results an hour later. Drs have me schedueled for PET Scan on first available, next Wed.
I will let you know the result as soon as I can. We will CONTINUE to fight this D$#@!ED ALIEN. Till I take my last breath. I just hope and pray that NO ONE else gets this dreadful disease. But if they do, they will have the advantage that I did not have, a case study, that will help the Drs involved to help them. I guess this is what Jesus has me here for, to save another life down the road. Who knows, maybe someone you know. REO, I am soooo very sorry that I have not came by yet. Please, Please, understand it is more than I handle at this time, much less having you handle it too. Thank you my Forum Family...As I close this, know that I am in tears having soooo many people that I have never met, love and care so deeply about my Family and I...You are truely a blessing to anyone you meet...God Bless...Theresa and Art
