Well. I don’t know about you guys, but I have had another wonderful day at the hospital. I feel like they will soon start to chant “Norm” when I walk in. Unfortunately, I don’t think my visits are going to let up for awhile. Today I met with the radiation oncologist to discuss options. Long story short is that they are going to recommend that we hold off on radiation at this point as my pain level is not much–even though my spine looks a mess. The official word will come from the tumor board next week on Wednesday and we will go from there.
My good news today is that contrary to many people’s belief – my brain is normal. Now I know a lot of you are probably thinking–“How is that possible? Tracey’s brain has never been normal!” Fortunately, there were no sign of lesions in the old noggin. Apparently I have a lovely large brain that functions almost normal on most days:) That was by far the best news I have gotten in 2 weeks, so I have been humbled all day and thanked God for hearing my prayers.
Tomorrow I go in for surgery. The extent of the surgery is pending the biopsies they perform while I am under anesthesia. The doctors feel that removing my ovaries will reduce the likelihood of this cancer growing and possibly reduce the tumor count in my body. I am all for either one of those options. At this point we take it a day at a time and keep putting one foot in front of the other. I know that this journey is not mine to choose.
I hope you all have an amazing weekend. Please hug everyone you love and don’t forget to tell them how much they mean to you. Love to you all.

Tracey, though I am confident your brain has never been “normal”, I am beyond thrilled that the doctors reported it that way!! Good luck tomorrow with surgery and I will pray that the news next week from the tumor board is as positive as possible. My dad believes that when we have to wait and wait for test results and a plan, it is because God is working on His miracles behind the scenes. It has proven true for me before and I am praying it will hold true for you too! Love you!
Best to you.

Tracey, you are a person of courage and strength, and nothing can take that away. I pray for great results with today’s surgery and the positive news from the tumor board. God does have a plan for you . . . there’s a quote from Mother Teresa that I keep very close, it is: “I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish He didn’t trust me so much!” Love you!!
Not sure I would ever use the term normal when describing you. But I would you extraordinary Your on my mind today and in my thoughts always. Sending positive vibes and prayers your way. LOVE YOU
Tracey, I believe with all of my heart God is not walking beside you but He is carrying you on His shoulders during this most difficult time. Continue to lean on Him for strength and courage. I pray the surgery goes well and please know along with everyone, you and yours are most definitely in our thoughts and prayers. With Love
Love you, T and praying every day for your healing and strength. Stay strong, girl. You are truly one of the most positive, amazing people I know. You can do this. XO
What I like most about you is that you are not “normal.” Sending you all the good vibes I can muster and asking some angels to send more. XXOO
