It's been a long road...

Well pathology reports came back. It's cancer. Rare too. Its called ewings sarcoma. I guess only like 250 cases get diagnosed a year. So I started chemotherapy, and will start radiation soon too.

I'm finding life rather unfair lately. I just wanted to be a mom, and now I'm a new mom to a perfect baby girl but I'm also dealing with the cancer diagnoses and now treatment. Thank goodness the baby sleeps so much still, cause on the days after my treatment I am just so tired I can't stay awake. My poor husband has dealt with cancer too many times in his life for it to be fair to him. First his mom died from it when he was six, then his dad died a few years ago. The only good things about me is I'm young, I'm otherwise healthy and I've got a lot to live for.

They say I have a 50-75% chance of a full remission with at least 6 months of treatments. They say it could take up to a year. I'm hoping for 6 months, I've got a life to lead and a husband and baby that need me :-). I have no intention of giving up, or letting go. I'm strong and I will beat this disease, it won't beat me :-)
