Overwhelmed
The last two days have been overwhelming. I spent yesterday morning coordinating childcare for the next two weeks. In the afternoon I had lab work and CT scans of my head, chest and pelvis. The phone is ringing with so many various things - well wishers (thank you very much!), doctor’s offices and hospitals confirming and setting up appointments, other people from the same offices and hospitals to ask me 50,000 health questions and get insurance information. I’m trying to button up my Nursery responsibilities (thank you Anita Geurink). I was able to accomplish childcare for the next two weeks, purchase a couple wigs and I played my cancer card to get Anita to agree to be the Nursery Director. ;) So I’m glad I got those things done.
Today I had a MUGA scan at Holland Hospital to see if my heart could handle the chemo that I will have next week. I don’t know the results of that, but my heart couldn’t possibly be bad. I mean, I have enough problems don’t I? Okay that’s enough self pity for the day.
The port surgery has been moved from Monday to Tuesday because they’re going to do the lymph node biopsy at the same time. So that’s happening at 3:30. I do not know when chemo will begin.
Aside from being absolutely exhausted I’m still feeling upbeat. I have many things to be thankful for. This cancer is just an inconvenient bump in the road of my life.
Please pray for my parents as this is a lot for them. I can see it in their faces. They need to get some rest. I can’t imagine what it would be like to see your daughter/son go through cancer. Then on top of that, my mom is taking care of our kids. I won’t say how old my mom is because I don’t think she would appreciate that, but she’s a young one and awesome.
Going into the weekend and thinking about next week with having the port surgery and then starting chemo we would like to spend it quietly with each other. We appreciate the love, support and visits, but a phone call or e-mail would be great before stopping by. This is so overwhelming right now. We still can’t believe this is happening.
Here is a picture of me and Mr. Max with my new hair cut. This is the shortest my hair has ever been! Yikes. You can click on the picture to view it larger.
Thanks again and we love you all!

I’ve been checking your site all day to see what’s going on…wow, what a lot to accomplish today - good job! Let me know if I can help in ANY way - I’d love to help out with the kids if you need me. I don’t work Monday through Wednesday, so I’m available then for sure. Whatever it is - I’m here for you! Even the smallest things that you just don’t have the energy to do - make phone calls - whatever it is. I can’t stop thinking about you… You all have been in our prayers and we love you!!!
