I HIT MY GOAL WEIGHT!!!

Hellllooooooo!!!! There have been so many times that I have thought of posting but never fired up my laptop.  Thank you Crystal for your last comment. At least I know one person is reading LOL!

So, I weigh 169 lbs. This is 4 lbs away from my original goal of 165 lbs. or 150 loss. It took me 12 years but I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, in February I went to the hospital with what I thought was kidney stones and 5 days later they determined that I have Pancreatic Cancer.  The last 25 lbs kinda came off quickly and I was concerned but obviously happy with the move of the scale. I have been told not to lose any MORE weight. Can you IMAGINE??? I have never ever, ever heard anyone tell me that! What a weird thing to hear eh??

The treatment plan is that I will do at least 4 rounds of Chemotherapy and then they will reassess. I need to get a PET Scan to determine what stage it is but at this point they think it is Stage 1 or 2. I will be getting my 3rd treatment next Tuesday, April 5th. I was SUPER sick the 1st round but better this last one but I am having side effects like neuropathy which is nerve damage in my hands and feet. I am also super tired ALL the time. Next step would be surgery. I am off of work for the next few months at a bare minimum

For my long time readers, they know about my adoption story but it was just recently that I found out that all the biological people have had Cancer so I was basically doomed from the get...

I have the fortunate of having a great support system here. People have offered to help and I just need to get over myself and let people help. I don't think any really likes asking for help but I know how good it feels to helps someone and I really need it.

That is about all for now. I do want to chronicle this journey like I did my weight loss so I hope to at least do a weekly post. Hope you all are doing okay!

Until next time...
