Here is a little back story on how my adventure started.  This tumor I have now is not related to the one I had on my leg.  In fact in April of this year I got the all clear from Dr. Graves. No more MRI's on my leg.
The end of  May when Nathaniel and Amber were visiting with my wonderful grand boys I had a pain in my side. Val was at a High Council meeting he met us on the way to the hospital. They did a sonogram and found something so I was admitted to the hospital so I could get an MRI done. That showed growths in my liver. Then I got to have a biopsy.  The doctor said I could go home or stay in the hospital till the results came back.  I opted to go home so I could spend time with my grandsons.
Val and Nathaniel gave me a blessing while I was there. Adam sat on my lap and repeated the blessing in his two year old vocabulary.  It was so precious.
Through this whole process I have felt calm. There have been moments of ups and downs. I have put my life in the Lords hands and will do all I can to combat this, I know I will make it and I feel all your prayers.

A new Adventure

Image
I am starting a new adventure in my life. I have been diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It is in my pancreas and liver. I have been getting to take many tests; like CT Scan, biopsy, MRI, PET, and MUGA. I feel like a pin cushion. I have had radio active sugar water put in me and then waited an hour to take glowing pictures. I didn't glow anywhere I wasn't expecting to so that is good. Yesterday they took some of my blood and put radio active stuff in it then put it back in me. I only needed a 20 minute rest. Before they took pictures of my blood pumping through my heart. While I waited my grandson Adam called. He made the wait fly by. Today I get to have a port put in so they can give me chemo. For this test I can't drive myself home so Val is coming with me. This is the one that makes it all seem real. One never wants to have stage 4 cancer. It has come on so gradual always giving information out a little at a time. So the adventure begins.

The Unexpected

On one of my walks on the river trail in Spanish Fork I was taking photographs with my new camera and I saw this blue flower blowing in the wind.  So I took a few shots and one turned out so stunning.  I am amazed  and so glad I was able to capture the beauty of this flower. Sometimes in life the things that we think are average turn out to be extraordinary.  We are like this flower, whether in the mist of trials or regular life we can find the beauty in our lives.
