Update

 Yep. Still have cancer. The colors for it rock though. My girlfriends had a bunch of these bracelets made for all of us. Pink, teal and blue.

I actually have diffuse sclerosing papillary thyroid cancer. If you look it  up- there is not much out there. Like 0.08% of thyroid cancers are this type. It is more aggressive but once treated- same prognosis as other types. Still good. There is a good risk it is in my lungs. But that is livable.

 Lee got his paperwork releasing him from theater (he won't be returning to Afghanistan this deployment). So he is now starting the work on getting us back to the states asap. I will have my initial treatment here Sept 20. One round of Radioactive Iodine Therapy. Then a full body scan to see exactly what we are dealing with. Then I want to be stateside to do further treatment.

We will be heading to Colorado still hopefully... just a few months earlier than planned. Ideally I would love his report date to be mid-Dec... and we would leave here the end of Nov. Not how I wanted to leave this place that I have loved for 4+ years- in a rush. But you do what you have to do right??

My inlaws have been amazing. Totally taken care of the house and kiddos (and hubby & I).  I have been showered with flowers, well wishes, prayers etc.   I have this amazing bracelet to remember how much I am loved and supported through this all. My sister and dad arrive in three days to help for 5 weeks!! Woohoo!!

My sis will also be moving to Colorado to live with us to help out. In spite of the crap- I feel blessed. This cancer sucks. Yet- it has covered me in love. It has had my "net" surround me and support me. It is treatable and livable!
