WE ARE BLESSED!
As some of you may have read on Mandy's Blog, I was diagnosed with skin cancer. Crazy huh? In a matter of four days, I found out I had Melanoma Skin Cancer, had two more moles scooped out of my body, had radioactive dye shot into my leg, had skin, fat, and tissue scooped out of my leg, had a lympnode removed from my groin, received a 13 in scar and a 31/2 in scar, and 24 staples. I was scared out of my mind and relieved out of my mind when I was told the cancer hadn't spread, and went through almost every human emotion possible. I am left today so grateful for all of my blessings, for an amazing Husband and awesome kids, and the opportunity to learn from this experience. I haven't quite figured out what all of it was for. I am still absorbing the whole whirlwind! I am a firm believer in "all things happen for a reason" so I am waiting to figure out what that "reason" is. Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts. I know I felt them and things have worked out so well because of them. When I figure out what this experience means to me, I will share it with you. Maybe that was the point...

I'm so glad to hear the good news. Sorry that you had to go through all of that. You're right though. Everything is for a reason. Your new little family is so cute. Congrats on the new baby. You are truly blessed.
That is the best news ever Sommer! I have been praying for you and am EXTREMELY happy to hear things aren't as bad as it was thought to be. I think I might be making an appt. with my Dermatologist sooner than later -- I believe we have the same Robinson skin. How did you figure out you needed to go see a dr? So did they get all the cancer out when they removed the moles? Email me (or post your story), it would be very helpful to hear about your experience. Thank You for your update...I have been worried sick.
I am so glad that things are ok. Why things happen in our lives we may never know, but we are definetely blessed in so many ways! Take care! Jamie
All I have to say is phew!!! I know that our prayers were heard.
