so we got home yesterday afternoon and we couldn't have been happier!!! we spent the afternoon/evening at the in-laws, eating gumbo and visiting...then picking up our girls. it was such a relief to finally be home and out of MD Anderson....if we never had to set foot there again, i would be happy. BUT, we will be going back, Oct. 26 for round 2, SO, i am praying for strength-i need it bad!!!!
today has been slow going-trying to get things back in order and getting ready to get the house packed up-gotta be out by oct. 19-so strange how things happen....but we are trusting that God has a plan and we will eventually end up wherever we are supposed to be. :) until then, we will just be pretending like we are camping in our 5th wheel ;) so please pray for ALL of us, because we are gonna really give the words "tight knit family" a whole new meaning ;)
anyways, just wanted to let everyone know we made it home and we are so grateful for all your continued prayers and support. we are amazed more and more everyday the people that God has sent to us-to fill every need. thank u Lord-thank you family-thank you friends-we love you all!
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.
