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. Fight this cance...
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.
Before Val and I went to India we had to have our fun fall festivities with the grand-kids. We took them to Jackers in Springville and had a blast. We buried each other in the corn. There was corn all over the place. We slid down slides, had a wild hay ride in the mud, had yummy donuts, and got lost in a hay bale maze.
