This past Saturday was Hockey Day in Canada. We celebrated with our friends and neighbours in true Canadian style with a game of hockey and skating on the pond behind our house followed by a wonderful Hockey Day party and potluck (where we watched more hockey).
This one day annual event is about the extent of my little family's involvement in hockey but we look forward to the fun every year.
On Friday I went to the clinic for my MRI results. My MRI showed a complex mass deep in my pelvis. It wasn't clear but it looks like it's on my left ovary. I'm praying that it's not cancer. The doctor we saw told us that because it's complex it needs to be investigated further even if it's an ovarian cyst. The MRI also didn't rule out a lesion on my spine so I have to go for a bone scan. Then I have to see a urologist to see what is going on with my bladder and to rule out a tumor there and I need an ultrasound to look more closely at the lump on my back. I'm trying very hard not to worry.
This is what I'm thinking...
My back pain is a little better so I'm taking that as a good sign.
The bladder issues.... well, I'll just pray the pain stops. Two courses of antibiotics later and it still hurts. I'm not sure what to think of that one.
The lump, I've gotten used to it and it's most likely a lipoma. Crossing my fingers anyways.
The worst part about having had cancer is that a little thing is never just a little thing.... and having lots of 'little things' at once is just plain scary.
In the middle of all of this, we packed up and went on a ski trip. I'm posting from our room while the girls and Darin are out hitting the slopes. It's wet out there but I think they're still having fun.
Distraction is the name of the game today and luckily I have a family of experts.
Happy Valentines Day friends!
