Good news for once!!!

Today we received pretty good news at the dr's office. He said that yes, there are cancerous cells in the mass. There were 3 different types of cells, a low malignant cell, a germ cell, and a benign cell. He said that it is very rare to have all 3. The pathologists were excited to see this because it is so rare. However, the dr said that we will take the baby at 36 weeks up there in st louis. While they are in there doing the csection, my dr will remove the left fallopian tube and some lymph nodes and some tissue. This is all a precaution because it was cancerous. However, he said that this is a self contained mass and he believes that it is in its 1st stage. Which means that the only thing that needs to be done was the removal of the ovary, the mass, and the other parts during the csection. Now, if something comes back from the pathology report from the other things, then maybe they will take further action. But he feels since it is self contained that there should be no other need for further treatment. They will just continue to watch me every so many months after the csection. So, this is good news for us, we were expecting worse but hoping for the best. The baby girl is doing just fine and dandy. She has been kicking mommy all day long. I guess she got mad from them taking out my staples today. There was like 30 staples inside of me.

Anyways, I want to thank everyone for their prayers. They have truly been answered. I am sure that the prayers will continue. If anyone has any prayer request please let me know. I would be happy to answer them and return the favor!!
Thanks everyone!!!!

Hello everyone!!

Everyone here is my update. I was trying to get on here the other day and the computer went all weird on me. Well, anyways, I came home Saturday afternoon. It was wonderful to be home and to see my little boy and husband again. I felt really special in the hospital, it was my birthday when I was there. I got tons of flowers and balloons!! It was very exciting. My son was scared to see me in there. They had not taken my IV out and the nurse came in to listen to the little girl. He saw my staples "ouchie" as he now calls it and started crying and wanted to leave. NOw that we are home, I let him touch it and told him that the baby was still in there and mommy was okay. So he is fine now. The first thing I heard when I got out of surgery was the baby's heartrate is good. That sounded like the best news in the world that she survived the surgery!! Then I heard that I had a left oopherectomy. This means that they took out the ovary and the mass. He said that everything looked good but did not want to be in there very long because of the baby. I talked to one of his residents and she said that the other resident that I met said that he was in awe watching over the baby when they had me open. It is something that they don't get to see very often. He got to see her moving around in the uterus. After surgery the dr came in to talk to me and my family. He said that the frozen section that they took showed abnormal cells. It was rare because it could not tell anything else. Husband and I are going to see the dr tomorrow to see what the pathology report found and to get out these staples. They cut me from and inch above my belly button, around the button and all the way down to my csection scar!!Pretty big cut. I assured the dr that my stomach has not seen a bikini since prebaby anyways, and has never seen it since. So not a problem!!! Anways, we are trying to keep a positive outlook. Depending on the outcome and treatments I will have to undergo, they might have to take the baby at 34-36 wks. Just depends. I will know more tomorrow!! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. My family and I really appreciate them.

Thank- you in the utmost sincere way possible!!!

Bad news!!

Well, everyone, husband and I went to St Louis yesterday. We left at 6:30 and got home around 8:00pm. At the ultrasound, the dr said that it is an ovarian mass. She said that it is more than likely a cancerous one. She said that if it is we will have to have surgery right away. There is only a 5% chance of preterm labor when surgery is done during pregnancy. I know that is only a small percentage but still very scary. I had to get blood work and an MRI done yesterday. The MRI showed that it is definately not a fibroid. Which is what I was wanting it to be. So, husband and I are going back tomorrow morning to see the OBGYN Oncologist. We are probably discussing surgery and what happens after I have the baby. I don't know if there is any hope that it can still be benign. I will have to ask the dr tomorrow. I cried all day yesterday off and on. Luckily my husband is being very strong eventhough I know that he is probably crying inside. I just keep thinking to myself that I am so young and I am going to have 2 young children. I don't want to be away from them. I definately don't want to be without them or them without me. I always think the worse of the situation but I can't help it. Anyways, this is not a very good Valentines day present or 25th Birthday present!!
Please everyone keep praying for me and my family!!

Tomorrow is the day!!!

Tomorrow, my husband and I will be heading to St Louis around 6:30. We have to be there at 9:00am to get the ultrasound done. I am a little worried and nervous. Of course, I have all of the bad thoughts running through my head. I always think of the worse case scenarios!! However, I am sure that things will be okay with me and the baby. I feel that if my Dr. thought that it was incredibly bad or life threatening, she would have sent me up 2 days after finding the growth on my uterus. At least that is what I would have expected her to do. Wouldn't you be really mad at the doc if it were something bad and you have been waiting all this time to get the ultrasound done??? Well, anyways, thanks for all the prayers. I will let everyone know what we find out tomorrow. Just wish us luck!! At any rate, I get to see a picture of her again and here her little heartbeat to assure me that she is doing okay. Our son is staying with my MIL. She doesn't watch him very often so I hope he will not get too upset for staying there pretty much half a day. That is the last thing that I want to have to worry about. So, we are off tomorrow and I will let everyone know.

First time blogger!!

I have read many blogs and I get on here everyday to read Farmwife's blogs. I think that it is a way to express myself and get to virtually talk to other adult women. I stay at home with my son and there is only so much you can talk to him about. So, this is a way to get to know other mom's!!! Please be patient because I am new at this. I might not be as creative as all of you but I am trying!!!
