One week ago today I found out that I had leukemia. It truly has been a roller coaster in every way. I know that this was Heavenly Fathers plan for me and I know there are a million things to be learned from this. First of all I can't thank all of you for all of your love and support. It truly means the world to me. I couldn't get through a minute without you. There are so many little angels that have been placed in my life to help me get through this and I love you all more than you will ever know. I have been so blessed so much already. All of your prayers are being heard and Heavenly Father is really watching over me. I have an amazing family and I know that we will get through this. I am on my 4th day of chemo and starting to become really tired. I may have a blood transfusion today. We will see very soon the dr will be here soon. Day 14 which will be around Halloween we will have a another bone marrow sample to see if I will need another round of chemo or start looking at bone marrow transplants.
I will try to keep everyone posted with how things are going through this blog. The cell phone service doesn't work well, so I apologize if you don't hear back from me. Some messages aren't coming through. My direct line is 801-587-4538
I also wanted everyone to have these 2 websites the dr recommend. He told us this that some info you will find is outdated and not accurate on other websites. So try these:
www.lls.org
www.nci.nih.gov
Thank you again for all your love! I love you all!
