so today was a wonderful day. starting off with an awesome soccer game, where sela scored 2 out of the 3 of the goals for her team!! then to a b-day party for our sweet nephew-all the while thinking about the scans yesterday and what next week holds. biopsy on tues, ct of brain on thurs....then meet with dr. kim to discuss everything-results, and discussion of when to start treatment. although it seems hard to not worry-i am trying, very hard, not to worry anymore. i have decided and realized, i have got to quit wasting the time i have now on earth worrying. when i worry, i am taking away my happiness from today-so what is the point of that? i have decided to give it all to God-really, give it all to God-and enjoy every second i have on this earth-every second i have with marcus, every second i have with sela & sloane. i will not let melanoma rule my thoughts or mood-melanoma is going to lose this fight-not marcus-and that is all i will think anymore.
so tomorrow we will go to church and thank God for every second He has given us-and we will ask Him to continue giving His grace so we can make it through each and everyday. i thank all our family and friends for their continued prayers, emails, calls and text messages. i feel so blessed and don't know how i would be holding up if i didn't have all of you. thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
so join me now-let's worry about NOTHING, and pray about EVERYTHING!! :) that is what God wants us to do-He wants us to trust in Him-and He will take care of everything!!!
my name is Mindy Stanley Anderson and i began this blog to share updates of my life-as the wife of a melanoma warrior. my husband Marcus lost his battle April 1, 2010. i will continue to blog here in his honor, in hopes that i can help other families during their time of struggle. all glory goes to God-we would not be where we are without his help-with him we can do ANYTHING!
OUR FAMILY
LEARN THE ABCDEF'S OF MELANOMA!!! EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY!
- ASYMMETRY: Does half of the mole look different from the other half?
- BORDER: Is the border of the mole irregular or ill defined?
- COLOR: Is the color uneven or has it changed over time?
- DIAMETER: Is the mole larger than a pencil eraser?
- ELEVATION: Has the surface of the mole changed? If it was smooth and flat before, is it now elevated ?
- FEELING: Has the sensation around the mole changed? Does it itch? Is it painful?
- PLEASE DO A SKIN EXAM EVERY MONTH AND WATCH FOR THESE SIGNS.
