I’m back!!

Hello everyone,

I’ve been gone for a while but I’m back.  Last week I was in Washington State for a week and I didn’t have Internet where I was.

Right now I’m sitting in a library in Huntington Beach waiting for some work to be done on my car.  This library is the biggest and nicest library I’ve every been to before.  It’s a library and a cultural center with water everywhere.  A person could easily hang out in here all day long.

It seems as though I’m feeling better now.  I’ve gone so long without exercise and have been laying around so much that my energy level is still pretty low.  I’m sure it’s going to be a while before I feel normal again, but I haven’t been feeling so bad thanks to all of your prayers.  Your prayers are getting me through this.  When my treatment is over I will continue needing your prayers because we are praying for my life to be saved.  I really want to be the one that can go around speaking to support groups to give other cancer patients hope.  In 5 years I want to be a testimonial to my doctors and I want to make them so proud that they saved my life when they told me the odds were not in my favor.

I’ve heard a lot of questions about what stage my cancer is. That’s a little tricky to answer because my first doctor told me the stage doesn’t change, but realistically I guess it would be considered stage 4 because the cancer metastasized to some lymph nodes in the abdominal area.  My situation is not text book because it’s nothing like the way cervical cancer spreads.  Tomorrow I will tell you all about that.

Most of you know that I am moving back to Washington State.  I’m back in California to tie up loose ends and I will be on my way to Washington April 16th right after chemo treatment.
