Advice or Just Plain Input Needed Badly

lylagarrett's picture

Okay, I need some input or advice! My mind is going crazy right now. I'm worried about surgery on Wednesday! Worried about my hubby and son and how they are going to be while I am down after surgery! Now, the ex-wife and her friends are causing trouble on my personal blog. (I think I mentioned this fact in another entry.) Anyway, they are threatening to contact DHS due to my letting my son read my blog. They are also threatening a slander lawsuit. First of all what kind of people can be so cruel?

Sorry So Long to Update

Sorry I haven't updated, it's just been a whirlwind around here. I met with the surgeon and a total mastectomy of my left breast is mandatory with biopsy of my lymph nodes. My case is so unusual that they really don't know what they are working with, therefore, until after surgery I won't know if is invasive or not. I have decided also to go ahead and have both breasts removed due to a sighting of "cysts" in the right breast. They informed me that the chances of breast cancer returning in the other breast is higher due to my age and already having cancer. I am only 37!

Thank You

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you. The response of thoughts and prayers was a bit overwhelming. I appreciate it so much. Words can not explain how much it means so me to have all of your support. Heard the MRI results and they showed another mass in the same breast. The other breast looks good and no worries there. I see the surgeon tomorrow afternoon but the way the doctor talked my options are pretty much one option and that is having the entire breast removed. I'm not a vane person usually but the thought of losing a breast is so hard to deal with right now.

Update

I wanted to update all on my biopsy I had done last week and ask for more prayers! The results came back that I do in fact have breast cancer! I go in this afternoon for an MRI to make sure that the cancer is indeed confined to just the breast and after that will be an appointment to see the surgeon and find out my options. I am so confused, hurt, sad, mad and downright scared right now, but I know in my heart that things will be okay. I am strong, I am tough and I will beat this thing!

The Year From Hell

This year has positively been the year from HELL for me! I understand that God only puts on you what he thinks you can handle and it all makes you stronger in the end, but I have had enough! I can't take any more!

December 31st, I lost my mother to a pulmonary embolism and lymphoma. January, the hubby's ex-wife took us to court for more child support on his 18 year old daughter and won. We paid a $1500.00 settlement and thought it was over. Then in May or June she filed to DHS that he was a dead beat dad and ended up getting another $6500.00 settlement.

Just Checking

I was just checking on SWEETIE. I haven't seen any recent comments or blog entries lately and am hoping everything is okay. The last blog you were really "down" and I am worried. Let us know how things are going with you.

It's Done

Well it's done! We paid the $6500.00 today to DHS. Now we are just waiting for the next blow, because we know that she is going to turn around and use that money to get an attorney again like she always does. But again, we're ready for her this time! Thanks for listening!

He Doesn't Understand

My hubby just does not understand why I got upset last night. He was talking on the phone to a friend of his about our bioson's football season coming up. The coach for our son's football this year is the cousin to hubby's ex-wife (the one who gives us all the drama in our lives). Anyway he was telling this buddy of his that my son and the coach are cousins. I became upset because there is no way in God's creation that my son is related to that witch of an ex-wife. I know I may have over reacted a tad bit but geez. Why would he even want to refer to them as relatives anymore?

What the Heck?

OK not only have we had the drama with the first ex-wife and all of the court battles, etc, but now my hubby's second ex-wife is in the picture again. Hubby is at my dad's house mowing the lawn for him when his second ex-wife pulls up and starts talking to him as if they are long lost best friends. Mind you he has not seen or spoken to her in probably 13 years or more. They had no children together. Now here's the kicker, she invites him to her daughters going away party and he hasn't even seen her daughter in over 15 years.

In Motion

Well the loan for the $6500.00 we have to pay the ex within 30 days from the hearing is in motion. We received the okay and just sent the signed paperwork back today so within the week we should have our loan. It really "sucks" that we have to pay her outright but in the long run it works out for us better. Instead of $600.00 per month from hubby's check, we will be only paying $150.00 per month for the loan. So I guess it works! The other thing that "sucks" about it is that we are sure she'll just take the money and go hire another attorney. It never fails!
