Being POSITIVE & Staying POSITIVE
I must REMEMBER that he only gives us what we can handle!
As most of you may know I was married to my AMAZING husband just about one year ago. Getting all excited to celebrate out anniversaryJ
Since we have been married he has been my rock though a few things but nothing like the news we received on June 3rd. I had previously been having pelvic pain that I knew could not be normal. I even saw doctors before we were married. No one ever saw anything that could be the cause. Well in early May I went to visit Dr. Lisa Roberts. She is downright amazing and is one of the best OBGYN’s in town. Plus I think I like her because she is my height, blonde hair and blue eyes. (Sound Familiar?) As I saw her, she wanted to do some testing to make sure everything was working correctly because being so young I shouldn’t have the pain I was describing. Thinking it was nothing I had the ultra sound done with minimal worries. (Kyle might differ) I had my ultra sound and was called the next day to tell me that I need to get scheduled to see the Dr. again. Later that week we found out that she had discovered a 3.3cm tumor in my uterus, and a cyst on each ovary. We then were stunned/shocked. She couldn’t tell us much without more tests. The following day I was scheduled for an MRI. I went in early got done early and just knew we had decided that we wanted the tumor out. Later that day I was called to be informed that they had found a 6.6 cm tumor on my left Ilium aka hip. The next day consisted of a CAT Scan and drinking some super delicious chalk drink. 36oz in 30mins and you can’t have water or crackers! The more test the more information we were able to receive.
We scheduled an appt with Dr. Roberts and she let us know our options with both tumors. A LOT TO TAKE IN but I had Kyle and My amazing Father in-law Lance right there by my side. Dr. Roberts wanted to see what this other tumor was up to before attempting to remove the one in my uterus. It would entail her doing a c—section surgery for a tumor not a baby. It can prevent us from getting pregnant in the future and cause much discomfort for me. She let us know that the tumor in my uterus did not appear cancerous but she couldn’t tell us much about the tumor on my hip. She then referred me out to an orthopedic surgeon. That surgeon did not want to take on this case because of its size and my history. I was then referred to Dr. Hillock an Orthopedic Oncologist.
Our first Appt with Dr. Hillock…
Dr. Hillock is very straight forward yet has great bed side manner. He looked at my multiple tests. Pages upon pages of films! He explained what he saw in each one. He let me know the best case scenario and the worst. The best being that it was just a benign tumor that he would watch over time. The worst case it being a cancerous tumor that would have to be removed resulting in me not being able to walk on my own again. Mind you I am 25 years old haven’t even been married for a year and no babies. Right then I kind of just fell apart, my sweet husband came right to my side and my dear father in-law tried to calm me down. I then realized that was the worst case and that I needed to stay positive. I might want to mention that my father in law is a Dentist and boy is he smart with much more. Dr. Hillock then sent me to have a Bone Scan and scheduled me back in 2 weeks. If you are reading this you can imagine my reaction, 2 WEEKS! I am a very pro-active person. We had the bone scan done the very next week and had my appt rescheduled the following day. Dr. Hillock told us we want to see blue in the bone which meant it was cool, orange would be okay but we would watch it closely, but red isn’t something we wanted. So I though shoot I am smart I know my colors so when I picked up the films after my bone scan I wanted to prepare myself for the next day’s appt. the darn films were Black and White. For a second I thought all this radiation they had ejected in me for the test made me color blind. (not really that is just me trying to be funny) So the girls at work even wore blue the day of my appt. Dr. Hillock told me straight right when he saw the test. This is RED… and we need to get it out. HOLY COW!!! He kept talking and I of course lost it again. Poor men in that room those few days! I couldn’t hear anything after he told me that it was cancerous and that he would need to take it out. A chondrosarcoma is a type of cancer[1] of the cartilage. Chondrosarcoma is a cartilage-based tumor and is in a category of cancers called sarcomas. About 25% of primary bone cancers (meaning those which start in the bone) are chondrosarcomas. This disease can affect people or animals of any age, although it is more common among older people than among children. All I could think about was never having children and never being able to walk without assistance for the rest of my life. If you have ever met me you know I am a FIGHTER! I have had many operations in my life and multiple complications but never let anything stop me before. I knew this was not the time in my life I could stop. Dr. Hillock then told us that the growth was not formed like he thought by the previous test and that I would be able to walk on my own after a good amount of recovery time. And he told me that someday I will be a mother and that isn’t impossible for me. Another plus is that I will not have to have Chemo or Radiation because of the type of caner it is, it would only cause the cancer to grow at a faster rate. (Good thing because I have been growing this hair for a year and it would be a shame for me to have to start overJ) Again we are thankful this is nothing terminal! We have now scheduled the surgery for July 12th just 2 weeks after our one year anniversary. They tumor in my Uterus will have to wait its turn to come out! I will only have a short stay in the hospital which is good because I HATE HOSPITAL FOOD. I will be at home on my back for 2 months which is scary because I have a very busy personality. But I am blessed to have such a loving, caring, giving husband that will be right next to me through this whole process. Heavenly father will not give me anything I cannot handle. I have been a little fire cracker all my life and I will be forever. I have an old friend I used to work with in Washington and she is one of the strongest women I know, her mother used to always tell her… “if you think you've had the worst day of your life, there's someone out there that has it worse than you do".

Halloween 09
SO my friend Kim was going to a Halloween party with her husband and they invited us. I knew Kyle loves to dress up and had been planning his costume so I said "Yes" right away. Then come to find out it was being held at our friend Audrey's house. So last year they did this spooky party that revolved around SAW the movie and Kim even played me clips of her husband scarey voice. So we get all dressed up and head to the party. Well as we were walking towards the house we heard little kids scream...this was the weekend before Halloween so we knew it wasn't Trick-or-Treaters. Kyle turns to me and says "are their kids here?" I was like "NO, NO WAY they wouldn't have them here especially after the party they had last year.
As you can see I was a Rockin' 80's Girl...
Ky was a bit more scary,as he was the lead singer from the band The Misfits. We walk in and there are kids everywhere....uhhhhh weird. I guess the good thing was all the kids warmed up to him after i told them he was nice and would give him hugs. Of course Kim, her Husband Corey & Aubrey we cracking up the whole time:) Aubrey's little girl loves Halloween and love the decorations but was still a little unsure about Ky. She wouldn't let go of Audrey (thigh crunch) and would look at Ky and sa "Scccaarryyy" in this little innocent soft voice smile and then hide her face. Priceless.
Then on Halloween we went out to the Valley and Carved pumpkins with Ky's family and handed out Toothbrushes. That was definatly a new tradition for me.

Ky, Connie and I went to Lynn's (the only grocery store in the valley) the night before Halloween to get pumpkins. It was all going great until one of the pumpkins got loose from MAMA Connie and started rolling. She is quick and tossed it back in the bin giggling :)
Well then of course me being me. I am trying to help my husband find the biggest pumpkin try and act tough. And there goes a pumpkin flying out of the bin and a man was walking into the store i turned around and was like... "oh sorry about my pumpkin." He smiled picked it up and handed it to me. I turn around to Mama Connie crossing her legs and laughing the hardest I have ever seen. To say the least it was an eventful night at Lynn's with the Robertson's.
Pops carved a Pirate...GRRRR
His Pirate was pretty tuff! Yet we were all inside and heard pops out on the back porch with his pumpkin, i think he was sawing something. The Robertsons use power tools to carve (YIKES this is Big Time). So he was out there for quite a while then he comes back and says "My Pirate fell down the stair and has a CRACK." ha ha ha
Mama Connie and i worked as a team I helped her carve the mouth on hers while she cleanded the GUTS out of mine.
This is my Girlie Skull.
COUNT....
Miss Katie carved this one while her and Ky would impersonate him.
SPONGEBOB! Kyle is such an artist, he had to freehad this as his pumpkin was to big for the template. I am proud to be his wife:)
FOOTLOOSE WEEKEND
Kyles parents spoiled us once again and took us on an overnight trip to see Footloose in St. George. It was such a blast! Us Robertson's have no problem being goofy in public:)
I am vertically challenged:(
The River Runs...
LOVE...
Silly me!
Just a fun shot in the car ride, I think my husband might be warming up to the camera.
