Well, things did not turn out as I had planned. To say I am disappointed would be a huge understatement - much like calling WWII a "spot of bother.". When they opened me up they found masses on the abdominal wall that were cancerous. Sooooo, they took samples, played with my liver a little (which is fine), and sewed me back up.
I am officially Stage 4.
Next step is a chemo plan to hopefully kill the masses and continue to shrink the growth in my esophagus and stomach. That will be the plan until it isn't necessary anymore.
Love you all.
Oh Steph, you are in my heart, much love sent.

Thank you, Jen, I loves you.
DeleteCome what may, Stephanie, you sure take a beautiful picture...
ReplyDeleteRemember this - YOU are NOT stage IV - Jeffrey is. There's a big difference!
I love you and will see you tomorrow.... Linda
Good one Mom!
DeleteThank you, Linda, very well said.
DeleteStephanie, our precious daughter, you are lifted high on our love and support. Remember, the fat lady is not singing, and she isn't even in sight, so bring on the chemo, and we'll stand shoulder to shoulder with you; together we will live, love, laugh, and continue to bare our teeth at your opponent. At your side, always, with all my love......from your adoring Mama. xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteLove to you both, thank you for all you do.
DeleteI can't believe that, it's not right! I am here for you, and praying for God to send you a miracle. Anything is possible and you deserve it. I will come see you when I get back, I'm thinking about you all the time.
ReplyDeleteLove you

Thank you for your prayers, it means he world to me. I hope there is a miracle out there for me, honestly, I think my family is the miracle. I love you so very much, safe trip home :)
DeleteYou are an amazing person, and it is my sincere PLEASURE to know you and help you through this crazy maze. I think it's official - we've passed the line beyond nurse/patient to "buds" :) You are blessed to have such a wonderful family. If you need anything, you got my number.

We love you, Steph, and are too, praying for a miracle. My miracle just turned 30 today. She was supposed to have mental retardation or be slow. She's bright and beautiful, and reminds me so much of you. Whatever the fight, never, never give up! Jeffrey can never win. If you need help with anything at all, please yell. I'll be up there in a flash. Love you, girl!
