JewelryQueen, I'm so sorry for everything you've had to endure, losing your 5 precious babies & all you've been through after diagnosis. You've been to h*ll & back.JewelryQueen wrote: ↑4 years ago@Blossom --I hesitated sharing this but here we go
In one week it will be 8 years ago that I was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of endometrial cancer. They said it was stage 3 1/2. I said "no such thing" and they said well it can't be stage 4--because it hasn't spread throughout your body yet, but you have the highest CA125 (cancer indicator) we have ever seen! They were not sure if the combination of 5 late term miscarriages and an IUD that took a little trip through my body by puncturing the uterine wall contributed, or not.
I said "Well this stubborn Finn is not going to die!" Following surgery I got 2 blood clots in my lungs (Pulmonary emboli) and I wouldn't die. Then I got Mersa and I wouldn't die. Then I had high test chemotherapy 5 days a week for over a month. It made my hair fall out, killed the nerves in my feet (although it still feels like I am walking on a bed of nails) and I lost 49 pounds in a month and a half. I weighed under 100 pounds and I wouldn't die. Then came the high intensity internal radiation (think cattle prod up your hoo hoo) where they put you in a room and say "Don't worry--If you scream we can hear you, because we have microphones in there!" and I wouldn't die. This was followed by less intense radiation treatments.
Long story long, I have been in remission for almost 3 years---"Cause I wouldn't die!
And if anyone thinks this is funny I will totally lose it!!!!!
You are a survivor because your presence here (on earth) is too bright to be anything but present. Your generous spirit is an inspiration to me as I'm sure it is to everyone here on the forum & everyone around you. God works in mysterious ways, who knew a shopping channel forum would be one. You say survivor, I say hero!
Thank you for sharing. May the Lord continue to bless you...always
Happy looooooooove DAY <3
