So I had surgery on Friday April 3rd at 7 am. I checked in to the hospital at 5:30 am. I was in surgery till 9 am. They removed a pound of cancer from my cervix. I had no idea it had spread that far. It was only 3 layers deep but covered everything. There is a little more in three so I still have to go in and get freeze treatments to burn the area so it don't grow back. I get my stitches out on Monday. the 13th. That will be nice! Other than that it all went well. I am moving better today. Still sore and my stitches on my lower incision keep busting! Ah well... Thank you to all of you who supported me and were thinking of us during my surgery. I am just glad its over and I can get back to life...
Have a wonderful day!
John and Danielle

Update
So not much has changed. I go in for a full biopsy on the 20th of this month. They want to pin point what is infected and what is not so we can start treatments on the right parts rather than my whole body! Its the waiting part that kills me. I have started antibiotics for now to keep me from getting to sick. Although they make me sick for a few days its better than nothing. Other than me being sick, alot is gojng on in our lives.... Logging has slowed down..They are only running 2 weeks a month now. Sucks, alot. so John only works 2 weeks. One on and One off. It gives him more time at home and more time at the fire dept which he likes, it just dont help out bills! we also have recenlty decide not to go forth with the adoption due to a number of things including my illness. I have a hard time just with myself its not fair to them as well as some other things going on. It was a very very tough decision but one we hade to make for ourselves, our marriage and my health. I think or atleast I would like to think we are doing the right thing..I am not sure anymore since I am torn emotionally... I have to think of myself, my health and my marriage. Its hard when you love 2 things at once but can only have one. John has been put through hell with accusations and investigations. Its not fair to him to have to put up with it. He is a good man.... Other than that nothing new. I am getting ready to celebrate my 25th birthday! Old I know. And our anniversary is coming up...So there are things to look forward too. For now I leave with a few of my favorite quotes!
"If you run from something it only stays with you longer if you fight something it only makes you stronger"
"Life isint about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain"
"One of the toughest parts in life is deciding when to give up and when to try harder"
"Letting go doesnt mean giving up, it means accepting that some things werent meant to be"
A nurse at the cancer center told me this when I was at my first appt. I wrote it down and I keep it with me at each appt!
"THE ONLY THING BETWEEN THE IMPOSSIBLE AND THE POSSIBLE IS SELF DETERMINATION AND MOTIVATION"

Emotions
So me being me did the most stupid thing today knowing that my emotions are not in check. I watched PS I Love You..Girls you know what I mean. I was just wondering does anyone really live a full lifetime. Do we really do all the things we want to do. Do we really love enough. Cause I really dont think so. I know that my disease has a cure. But some dont. Maybe its all the what if''s that keep floating around my house and my husband watching my every move. Like it is my last... Dont get me wrong I know that this man loves me and I am very grateful. But I cant help but fill you all in on a secret. He is scared to death. He tries to be so strong for me. I am proud of him for that but latley he is slipping and saying things like what am I gonna do or I cant do this without you. It has wondering if he is really really scared .... And I know I am scared... He just doesnt seem like John...Makes me sad...To see the one person I love most in the world hurting..

Well come on this is more than I can handle. Thank you to all of you who are sending prayers and thinking about us. I am a strong person and my husband well he is my husband and I love him. I just cant help but think I have not had enough time with him. If something should happen to me, I am not ready to let him go. I want my lifetime, my forever he promised! He is not gonna get away this easy. I may be sick but I still have a sense of humor...right Mary!!!! Seriously thank you all for the smiles and the laughs..Its needed these days!
