I can't even begin to tell you about the last four days. I'm overwhelmed by the encouragement, support, gifts, prayers and love that have been extended. Every gesture has made me cry tears of gratitude. I'm still trying to wrap my around the reality of having cancer, but it's becoming real as we are on the road to Cleveland, as we speak. Full day tomorrow at Cleveland Clinic with our first test/appt. at 8:00 am (MRI) followed by seven more with the last appt. at 4:00 pm with the radiation oncologist. By the end of the day tomorrow we should have lots of answers like what stage, has it spread, surgery date/further treatments. Most likely my surgery date will be the first of the year - I look at tomorrow as my "game plan" day and then I'm going to try to forget I have cancer and have a beautiful Christmas and New Year celebration at Crystal with Jon and our kids and then...it's "GAME ON" and I'm going to kick cancers butt!
So grateful to have the best medical care and Jon by my side and an army of supporters - thank you from the bottom of my heart! We will try to keep you updated as much and often as possible. For the record, I'm a horrible writer and I promise I will have lots of grammatical errors, typos and "Jen-isms" so please forgive me. I thought oncology was spelled encology until yesterday...I'm in serious trouble taking notes tomorrow ;)
Thank you again. We love you!
Jen & Jon
