Sorry I missed yesterday everyone. I just dont think I will have the time to write everyday but hopefully I can write more days then not.
Well yesterday was great! I woke up feeling alot better. My core was real sore the past week but yesterday I woke up and felt better then I have in months. My strength, my energy, and my overall health was real high. I wanted to get back into things and start doing my normal activities again. I was feeling so good that I walked to the gym and biked 10 Miles in about 42 mins. After I still felt good and walked a little bit! Isn't it crazy that I biked about 4 minute miles and people in the world can run that! I better pick up the pace.
Yesterday was a great day until the doctor called with my results. It's Burkitt's Lymphoma, which we all kind of new anyway. I was a little down after the call but I kinda decided that i wasn't going to let that bring the day to an end. I was feeling better and Stronger than I have in months. It's so weird to me that I have cancer.... I feel GOOD right now. I dont feel sick. I look normal. If someone walked by me on the street or when I was on the bike the last thought they would have is that I have cancer! I feel and look good. I guess I dont look as good on the inside....
Today was the PET scan. I have been Radioactive since about 7 this morning. Ha what does that even mean? All I know is that if your pregnant dont walk by me right now because it could be bad for the baby. The PET scan is going to tell me where the lymphoma has all spread too. I wont know the result until Monday.
SOOO, Today I am in another good mood Amy and I are heading to the mall to meet up with my Mother and Sister. I got some Graduation money from the parents and I feel like getting myself a little something something.

Ryan,
ReplyDeleteWe don't know each other, but I am friends and work with your lovely sister Tara. Seeing as she is so amazing, I am pretty sure you are, too! I am so sorry you have to go through this. Your posts are so inspiring, and I am sure there are others out there and are being helped by you. That alone is huge. I can imagine that there are days that helping others probably doesn't mean much, but it does. People always say to each other, "relax". I always hate that because if I could, I would! It is probably a small thing to say to you to continue to stay positive and not to worry. But remember all the people who don't know you and love you and are praying for you. Look at the pictures and cards your girlfriend put up. Keep posting when you can. It keeps you close to those of out here reading what you say. I send you good thoughts, love, strength, and prayers.
Lynn
