Cancer Free!

I have been having alot of health issues lately, feminine issues to be exact. After a sixth months of dealing with this and different medications with no results I had a biopsy and some other unpleasant tests to check for cancer and a few other possible ailments.
Did you know that there is now a blood test to check for genetic breast and ovarian cancer? I sure didn't. I didn't even know that cancer could be genetic. It is tho. You are more likely a candidate for genetic cancer if close family members have had it. In my case, cancer runs deep on my father's side and a few cases on my mother's as well.
So after all my tests I am happy to say that I am cancer free and I do not carry the cancer gene! So that leaves my problem undiagnosed but atleast not too horrible.

On another note, I have been having some horrible back pain for a long time. Finally went to the Dr. for that and after some Physical therapy and an MRI it turns out that I have Degenerative joint disease. Boo! Not sure how bad it is, I go next week to get all the details and treatment plan from my Doc. Apparently it can be genetic, which makes sense. My 12 yr old daughter has Scheuermans disease which is degenerative disc disease in the spine. My mother has a similar problem in her neck. Not sure what's going to happen.


And I have a Lily with a tummy ache so I must go...

8 years

This Tuesday will mark 8 years of marriage for Jeff and I, it feels like longer only because we have been together for much longer than 8 years.
I think we have done a pretty good job so far. Struggled through some extremely hard times together. No matter what we have been through, we have always gone through it together and coming out on the other side of problems and issues together is a great accomplishment. I look forward to more years of anniversaries and birthdays, struggles and challenges together.

We may not have much but we have eachother.
