Oh, hi there! I've been MIA for the past few weeks and I so miss this little blog of mine. I guess I should explain...
Two weeks ago I had a minor surgery on my head to remove some bumps that I've had on my scalp for quite some time. This explains why there have not been any outfit posts. I had 4 staples in my head and couldn't wash my hair for a whole week (not pretty!). The doctors and myself all seemed to think the bumps would turn out to be cysts, no big deal, but I got the news on Monday that they are an extremely rare form of cancer. CANCER! It has taken a few days for the news to settle in and right now I'm in the works with my doctors to figure out the next best step. Chemo, surgery, or possibly both. And honestly, hearing this news wasn't the worst part for me. The worst part was hearing three different doctors tell me to stop trying to get pregnant (we've been trying for 5 months) as a pregnancy would be too difficult for my body to handle right now. So during this confusing and very stressful time I ask that you please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers.
I'm a reader who has never commented before, but I just wanted to say that I am thinking of and praying for you and your beautiful little girl!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Kate! You and your family will defiantly be in our prayers!! XOXO Keep you chin up!! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteSweetheart, I am so very sorry that you and also your family have had to hear this news and what you are going through. I do not know if you have ever visited my blog before or not. I am a two time breast cancer survivor and my husband is a RECENT as in 3 months...recent cancer survivor as well! When I say, I know a 'little' bit of what you are going through right now I mean that I know what it feels like to hear those words, "you have cancer". I hate, I mean REALLY hate cancer...it is a mean and ugly disease that does not care if you are young or old, rich or poor...it is just ugly! I MEAN this when I say I am going to pray for you sweetheart. If there is ANYTHING I can do to help please let me know. You can totally email me if you want to scream, vent, cry or need prayer. Hugs & prayers....melody

ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my thoughts and prayers for sure!! I was wondering where you had gone? Now we know why! Lots of my family members have struggled with cancer but all of them are alive and well (most recently my mom and dad). My aunt was told she had a very rare ovarian cancer when she was 20 and wouldn't make it past 2 months & she is now in her 70's! I know news like this can be so overwhelming and scary right now, but know that prayers are being sent in your behalf. Keep the faith <3

ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine what you and your family are going through...keeping you in my thoughts and prays. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. My heart absolutely goes out to you. I know what it feels like to try desperately to get pregnant and having Dr's that you can't try must have been devastating. On top of which to battle cancer!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you beat it and enjoy being a mommy to your beautiful girl.

I just stumbled across your blog today, and I wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you, for your health, and for peace. May you be blessed and healed!
ReplyDeleteI have just stumbled upon your blog today and my heart goes out to you with this post. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My best friend is a three time cancer survivor, and all I can say is to keep your head up and gain strength from those that love you. She was told the second time she had leukemia that her odds of living were 1 out of 4! Stay strong and know you have many people praying, wishing and hoping for your full recovery.
