I have my medical scan coming up...
 

Hi friends, I have my cancer scan coming up friday, to make sure that the radioactive iodine treatment I did back in February worked. Please Pray that my scan comes back clean, as we'd like to start on trying for a family soon. If its not clean we would have to wait another year to start a family as the internal radiation is not good for starting a family. I also just want to be finished with all of this and move forward with my life. Thank you for the Prayer :D

My thoughts are with you

Keep thinking positive, it helped me, I got the all clear last year

That is soooooooo great!!!! I really hope mine comes back clean. I am ready to have some babies but I won't unless I get a clean scan so I can work on getting my body healthy and ready :D Thank you for the thoughts and Prayers I certainly appreciate them. I am so glad you are done!! I hate this low iodine diet yuck..lol

Just wanted to say You will be in my prayers for your scan. I had kidney cancer 2 1/2 yrs ago and I get tore up right before my ct scans but God has gotten me through and I'm doing great as I know God will see you through this. Hugs & Prayers!

Thank you so much! He always does get us through it doesn't He? Throughout this scary ordeal my faith never lingered, I always had peace in my heart from him, I was never scared. I'm just eager to receive the good news so I can start my family and the journey I am meant to take. Thank you so much for your uplifting message.

Finger's crossed and prayer's being thought for you.
How exciting to be thinking of starting a family. Keep
that thought, think positive and only good things ahead
for you.



Coolbar that's wonderful news for you. Congratulations
on being the winner.


Hugs,

Keeping you close in my thoughts and prayers. Please let us know what you find out.:hug::hands:

You are in my prayers!

You are very welcome!! God has a great way of introducing us to new people and friends and I believe it was meant for me to respond back! I know if you keep your faith in God He will make it all happen if it be His will you will get to have a baby I know it!! Drs told me I could'nt have kids...I have 2! During my last pregnancy which came as a surprise that I was able to have a second baby I was 28 at the time I felt truly blessed I had always wanted children and our first son it took 5 yrs and then our second son was another 5 yrs both were maricles, blessings and a surprise after what Drs said! During my second pregnancy God blessed me twice...thats how they were lead to find the kidney cancer! If I'd not have gotten pregnant when I did most likely the cancer would not have been found early enough. My son as I got further along the weight of him he kicked enough and put enough pressure on my kidney to cause a kidney stone that was lodged due to a cancerous tumor to come loose and when I started having lots of kidney stone issues they did a ultrasound to see what was causing all my problems...it was'nt until after I had my son that I went for a ct scan and found out it was most likely cancer and I'd be having a full kidney removal of my right kidney...that's a small price to pay to lose a kidney to be here alive and well and to be able to take care of my kids and family! God saw me through it all and when the first ct scan was performed the tumor showed up as 3 inches (looking online that was very bad news) but after many prayers and keeping my faith after the surgery they did a pathology report that showed it has shrunk by HALF! God blessed me and I truly know it! Life has never been the same...by that I mean I appreciate a lot more than I ever did and I just keep my faith in God. I will be praying for you I know how much I wanted children and I kept thinking I knew that God would bless me or help take that urgency for me to have a child...I kept praying that when the time was right God would bless me and it was no time after I started realizing that I had to trust God to bless me 'at the right time' that I became pregnant with my first child! You hang in there and you will be in my prayers!! Please update and let us know how your dr appointment goes...a great Bible verse for me was Pslams 91 it is very comforting I even wrote it down and took it with me on my dr appointments it really calms me down to read it while having to wait. Take care and hope we can talk again!

Thank you so much for the positive thoughts and Prayers, I truly appreciate them. Times like this is when I am proud (and not crazy) to say I have friends whom I've never met, around the world, who can comfort me. To others it may sound crazy but we all know what we are talking about ;)

Starr your story is just incredible!! I am so happy that you have been so blessed even through all your trials. I have certainly had many trials and at times I felt angry with God, when I was younger. But I got older I realized He just wanted me to be closer to him, that everything in life was a test of our faith. When the doctor told me it was cancer, everyone around me including my husband, my parents and siblings all collapsed. I smiled and said well then I guess it's a good thing you got that thing out huh? He was truly puzzled by my reaction. I said you know what i feel so much better already. Thank you for removing it and I'm not worried. Everyone around me just stopped. I don't think I ever even cried about it to this day. I just always knew I would be ok and that God throughout the night and in my dreams had made me so comfortable and at peace with the whole ordeal. I had nothing to worry about. Even now, I recognize that there are people who are TRULY TRULY suffering from various illnesses and ordeals in life. That mine is a walk in the park in comparison. My good friend just lost her twin baby boy and girl after over 5 months gestation. She worked so hard to get pregnant and were 5 months along when she went into labor. They died shortly after their birth and baptism. I think about what she must be going through and I would be ashamed of myself for being selfish and taking Gods Prayers from her for myself. I give them all to her and her wonderful husband. I know sometimes as humans we are in a hurry to get things done in life but I am learning everyday that as long as I trust in the Lord, things happen while we sleep ;) I also didn't know about the cancer for 7 years it was just sitting there, BEHIND this benign lump that was growing every year. They would do biopsies and kept saying well it's coming up benign. So for 7 years the small cancer grew and grew and the biopsies weren't catching it because it was behind the lump, where the needle wasn't reaching. It was only when I got tired of the lump growing that they found the cancer DURING surgery. What was supposed to be a 2 hour removal of my thyroid turned into 7 hours of surgery removing cancer. Even to this day I thank God for that ugly lumpy lump lol :D Do you have pics of your beautiful kids?

Wow I'm again in tears just reading what you wrote! I tell you its amazing what God can strengthen us to get through and I'm like you with my situation it could have been so much worse I see and hear so many stories about so many worse things I'm just thankful. I try not to worry about things and I know if God got me that then He can for others too!! So good to talk to you and read about your situation I know God will see you through! I got chills reading about that tumor that was behind the benign one...it was like God gave you a feeling to go ahead with the surgery to find the situation in time! I believe we are all here for a reason and I believe God is not through with me and He is not through with you for this Earth and I believe your going to see many many blessings over the years the main thing is keeping your faith in God and remembering He is in control. Your story is also amazing!
I will post some pics of my kids I'm just learning how to do a few things on this site. I can't wait to get our new puppy Thursday so I can get a pic of my boys holding Karlee and have that on my page!

Good thoughts headed your way:love: :hands:

Thank you so much everyone. I can't wait to see your new puppy Starr!

Sending prayers!

Vainchick5 and Starr728....you both have me in tears. Oh if we only had more people in this world with your faith. Right now I am reading a devotional called Streams in the Desert by L. B. Cowman. The basic jest of the devotional is that it is only through trials that our faith in our Lord increases. Sometimes I don't want to think about it but I know that only through difficulties will I draw closer to Him. It is only through sorrow that we know what joy is. I would like to life you both up to our Heavenly Father and pray that you both will continue with good health. Praise the Lord! ~Joanne~
