Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Prov.3:5,6
today my endo dr called today and gave me my thyrogobulin bloodwork back i had to redo it since the lab last fri did it wrong so i had to wait all this time to hear all the news. my scan came out looking good and my thyrogobulin levels came back undetectable for cancer. best news ive heard all yr and i cried when i got off the phone cuz ive been waiting to hear that since i was told i had thyroid cancer. now i see her in 2 months for checkups and labs, to keep it that way. i feel such weight lifted off me but still thinking it can come back so ill have to keep up with my checkups and pray it never comes back and get on with my life and get my body back to having strength if thats possible, i can start my synthroid 2mro am, im so happy to be able to start that again. this has been a long year .. my husband and i have been through alot with each other these last 16 yrs we'll be married 16 in nov. it seems the 2 storms in our marriage was health and money. i had epilepsy when we got married then had brain surgery then he had cancer 3 months after my brain surgery, that took 15 mons to get him cancer free and hes been cancer free 10 yrs now. i always said, i know Mark and I can get through any storm in our marriage as long as we are together and with the Lord on our side, and thats what i believe. i cant wait to tell my hubby parents and sister i can hear them now Praise the Lord!!!! repeated over and over again, not sure what my hubby thought i txted him first hes at work now but wanted him to know first. but i have an idea what he thought probably what his family will say.
i think i know why the Lord gave me the treatment of RAI and that i needed to be isolated cuz i know if i had any other kind that allows my family to be with me, id still work my house cleaning and cooking etc, and He knew i needed to rest and not work, that week i had RAI i did NOTHING no dishes, vacuuming, laundry just once for Mark. even now i still feel weak and tired from all this and i still cleaned and cooked etc. i dont know when to stop and rest usually when im done or so worn out that id die. most stay at home wives/moms dont know when to stop and take some time for themselves to care for themselves cuz we are so drawn into taking care of our familes then ourselves. so i needed to be ioslated so that i could rest and i know then i needed it but never wouldve if my family was home with me. God gave me that answer a few weeks ago, and it made sense. God knows what i need even when i dont. i hated being alone, but there had to be a reason why when i hate being alone and want someone here with me when im sick i cant, and mark when he had chemo he didnt want anyone around but could there are lessons in both and i got my answer as to why but not sure mark did on his course he rather forget he had cancer at all, me im thinking what am i going to learn from this experience, and i have learn ALOT!
i forgot how much i loved to bake from scratch and missed fishing which i didnt fish too much this yr but did some fishing with my family. I learned my husband does pray for me i never knew that before, that meant alot to me that he told he does. Mark took me to my dr appts and was there for me. he never took me to my appts after i got my drivers license. and when he took before he never went in with me like he did with these ones.
now if i can get a normal life again i know i have to find a new normal , i need to start taking care of me too and not neglect myself i always thought id be selfish if i did but learned its not cuz when i take care of myself im doing for my family too. this is like God opening my eyes to see i need to take care of me cuz i am God's child and He wants me to care for me too. i always thought husband and child first then me.
now if i can stay cancer free for like my husband is, i want to better my life and lose some weight that i gained through all this and gain strength and exercise. clean my head, and heart out, grow in faith as i have this yr when i thought i thought i lost it, grow spiritually closer with the Lord and with my husband and daughter. when i can get my first relationship on track which is the Lord, thats when i can get my marriage on track where it should be and be closer to my hubby which i know he is a gift from God, then my daughter who is my miracle. i thank God for both of them everyday that He put mark and i together and gave us our daughter.
But He said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." Luke 18:27
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7
