SO ready for a vaca!

Hi wonderful girls!!

Just wanted to give y'all a quick update while I'm at the airport waiting for my flight to EUROPE! I had such an incredible birthday and I am so thankful for all of the well wishes and sweet cards from you girls. We survived sin city and I had an amazing time with my girlfriends and family. I've been having some issues with my hip right around my scar area, so I finally decided to stop being stubborn and get it checked out before my trip. I had a ct scan yesterday and the doctors found multiple tumors just outside the radiated field. I have a tumor the size of an orange right on my scar and a couple golf ball sized tumors nearby. I had a feeling it wasn't going to be good news, but I refuse to let it affect my trip. I started my 2nd round of Xeloda yesterday, and since there is measurable disease we will be able to see if it is working. I saw my surgical oncologist yesterday and she suggested doing radiation first and if that doesn't work, then she can cut it out. My back has been getting worse also, so I just need to be careful while I'm abroad, but I'll probably see a neuro surgeon when I get home and have surgery to fix my fractured vertebrae.

Anyway, I'm not letting this slow me down. I am so stinkin excited for Europe and my cruise and my parents even surprised me and bought my boyfriend a plane ticket to come with us for part of the trip! Its going to be beyond incredible! Just wanted to update y'all a bit. I will continue to keep you ladies in my thoughts and prayers while I lie by the medeterranian sipping on some Sangria! Lots of love!!
