I can not believe we are at the end of November already. Life has truly flown by for me in the last 8 weeks or so. I've been thrown a curve ball and I'm doing my best to roll with it.
On October 1st I saw my doctor with some discomfort I was feeling, October 2nd I had an ultrasound that showed a 12cm (4 3/4") mass on my left ovary. Since then I've had some drs appointments, had surgery on October 25th to remove the mass and do a complete hysterectomy. Sadly, tests confirmed that the mass is my colon cancer back again... Stage IV metastatic colon cancer to be exact. On November 19th I met with my oncologist (the same one who treated me in 2017) and we formed a game plan. On November 26th I had a port-o-cath inserted and on December 3rd I start my first round of Chemo. I will be doing chemo in the hospital as well as taking it home with me for a few days and will be doing this every 2 weeks for 6 months.
I don't know what this will mean for my day to life, let alone card making. I am busy scheduling posts for all of the cards I have done so far and will be here when I can to post some more.
I really and truly thought I had beaten colon cancer... the only thing I know for sure is that colon cancer won't beat me!
So now that you're updated on my life at the moment, let's move on to the card. I thought that sharing my news went well with this card as the sentiment is so much like "if life gives you lemons"... and I am doing my best to make lemonade (or snow angels).
