Beyond Tired!

 I'm back, i've been out for a few days because i had a procedure done this past Monday. My surgeon Dr. Kerner had to perform yet another dilation sub-mandibular gland duct on my right side. Because due to my radiation it swelled up again. It's still a bit swollen under my tongue but i can now speak, and eat normally. Going into the procedure was very traumatizing flash backs of Nov. 5th kept coming through my head. But everyone was so nice. I just hope i don't have to have this done again.

I've been very tired, depressed and fearing for my life like crazy. Sleeping at night has been so hard. I've had horrible heart palpitations, panic attacks and just been so annoyed. That is why i decided to go see my regular doctor today. My blood pressure is a little big up but nothing that drastic.  She did an EKG (Electrocardiogram) and it came back that my heart is really slow. I don't know what that means but i know its not normal. So im being referred to a cardiologist can't wait to hear what he has to say.

This is just worrying me way to much. I can't stand the fact that all i keep getting is bad news. I'm trying to be as positive as i can be, but it just gets way to hard. I'm about to loose it. Really hope i can do something about all this. 

Well here's a picture of my mouth after the procedure he did, its lumpy and it still had some blood with pus coming out (i know disgusting) but I must say Doctor Kerner is wonderful at what he does.

2 month's and counting!

I can't believe how fast time has gone by since my surgery, it has now been 2 whole months.

Happy New Year, I've been really sick since my last blog entry. I spent my New year's eve and day in bed resting. I was in complete pain the whole day of new years eve. My left arm and chest were giving me such horrible pain which i now figure was just muscular but at the time it felt like something else was seriously wrong. I almost went to the ER because the pain was just unbearable i cried so much, it was disappointing that while everyone else was welcoming the new year i was crying over the pain that i had. My head was also bothering me quite a lot. But now I'm beginning to think i should blame it all on my last body scan.

After all laying almost for an entire hour on that uncomfortable table to be scan really took a toll on my upper body, neck and head which were the main parts that i had pain in. I also blame the weather, the last time prior to new years eve i had gone out and the temperature was just extremely low. So i must of cached something that really did a number on my joints. But I'm much better today, i managed to get some sun yesterday when i went to the Library. The weather is still really cold, windy and completely crazy. I can't remember having this kind of winter here in California. I just hope it doesn't rain again.

So last week i began my thyroid medication I've been put on levothyroxine 100MCG which is the generic one to Synthroid. I thought the medication was to blame for my weakness but i spoke to my doctor and he said that that's just the lack of thyroid that is making me weak, because the medication won't start working 3-4 weeks from now. So that's comforting to hear lol. Well i still have the pain in my joints like my wrist, knees, elbows and fingers hurt upon waking up and i have this sort of tingling feeling all over my joints. I hate having craving for sweet things. So I'm finding fruits and foods that will satisfy my cravings of candy, cookies and chocolate. I really am trying to eat much healthier i don't eat to much because i rather sleep than eat but when its time to eat, I'm trying to eat as healthy as i can. I want to ask if i can finally get rid of my high blood pressure medication. Because i do feel i was diagnosed incorrectly and that i got high blood pressure upon my cancer developing or as symptoms of it. I do want to start working out but this weather is preventing me from going out. And as a set goal not a resolution i need to learn to fall asleep early my bedtime has become 1-3 in the morning. I have tried but insomnia has got a solid grip on me.

Tomorrow i have an appointment to see Dr. Kerner my surgeon, which i guess its just as procedure to check on the incision. Looks about the same as the last picture i took of it, looks a bit red and it has been giving me some pain. But other than that i believe its fine. I have also made an appointment for next week for a physical i want to check on my heart since i get horrible palpitations that annoy me so much. Also just to be on the safe side that my heart is healthy after everything I've put it on. In 4 weeks ill be visiting my metabolism doctor i guess he will check my calcium levels and blood work. In the meantime i plan to continue resting. But i do want to find out if i can start taking vitamins or supplements to help me with my energy level. I keep asking doctors but they don't seem to like the idea of taking vitamins. But i really think i need to take some iron and stuff like that. So i will keep investigating and searching on my own.

Aside all my issues i didn't give up on my nail designs i tried and tried until i was finally able to do what i wanted to do.

Here is the finish product. In the meantime i won't be doing any hand made characters on my nails because that hurts my neck and back to much but i will try to continue with my love for nail designs. I'm also trying to do some handmade projects. So hopefully i get the energy i need to do them.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful beginning to their new year.
thanks for stopping by.

Farewell, Adios, Arrivederci, Au Revoir 2010!!!!!!!!!!

Last day of the year, in a couple of hours we will be saying farewell to 2010 and welcome 2011.

What a year!!!!!! Years come and go and with them we keep our best and wost memories.

Ill try to write as much as I can, despite the fact that last night I couldn't sleep at all i had a hell of a night. My whole body decided to betray me, and i was in pain the whole night. Pain was so bad i almost went to the ER because i had a blasting headache on the back of my head that ran all the way down to my shoulders. My left arm is also still in pain (which i hate,hate, hate) makes me think im gonna get a heart attack. I don't know i hate how i have felt the fear of my life ending is the worst feeling ever. I think these are the side effects of my radiation. I wonder if the full body scan is the reason to blame for the pain in my head and neck (since the Nuclear doc places the pillow on my neck leaving my head in the most awkward position) As for my left arm i don't know i have been carrying bags and doing my most natural routine. But maybe my body has had enough and now i regret not resting the full 5 weeks that i had to right after my surgery.

I had planned to straighten my hair, do my new year nail design (which i tried to do but unfortunately i have lost my hand coordination it seriously made me cry at the fact that i couldn't paint my nails. I tried about 7x's to paint them but i couldn't, i've been feeling too weak) so there will be no New Year's nail design. Plans were to get all dolled up to receive the new year but, i guess plans have changed. Anyways its alright my health comes first. BTW i think its my new Thyroid medication doing its wonders i officially hate food. I will eat only because i have to eat but i have lost my appetite completely.

My favorite thing and highlight of this  year was The FIFA 2010 South Africaa World Cup, wow i seriously enjoyed almost every single game and i had so much fun arguing with friends about some of the matches. despite the fact that none of my favorite teams won i had so much fun watching it. I fell in love and i saw the potential in Uruguay, Diego Forlan  became one of my favorite players and i will never forget the match between Ghana and Uruguay both teams fought like champions and despite what people say Luis Suarez in my opinion sacrificed himself for his team. Towards the end Argentina delivered quite and amazing game, and Brazil and Italy were a complete disappointment. Wasn't to thrilled that Spain won but it was well deserved. Oh let's not forget Paul the Octopus stole my heart lol!

Trying to think really hard what else i enjoyed im sure i enjoyed many other things which unfortunately i can't remember but i will never forget that August was my official month of getting sick. I had the worst bronchitis followed by countless appointments to figure out my real health problem.

The year has been really tough on my whole family, financially, mentally, physically  and health wise but I know we are not alone in this. I just hope the new year brings more work opportunity and allows everyone who has had it tough to find their way around in 2011! Yes i know there were a whole lot of other problems world wide but forgive me for not mentioning them, i don't have them at the top of my head. This is just me brainstorming and remembering the most current issues. I'm sure many have lost a family member or a loved one this year so to them i say  may they R.I.P and my deepest condolence to you.

I don't want to get to off topic or discuss any political issues. But i do hope that this new year brings peace world wide.

That stupid racist laws like the Arizona sb 1070 stop being passed. And if they do want to secure the borders then so be it but do it in a non racist manner. I hope the Dream Act passes because those kids sure as hell deserve to be here more than anyone. I hope we realize what's important and crucial to deal with like stopping child abuse and dealing with all those sick pedophiles out there if anyone deserves to be treated like trash its all those disgusting sick fucks out there. I really hope we start taking better care of our planet.

I hope the pointless war we are having stops and may all innocent people stop being killed. That the horrible kidnappings and tortures stop in Mexico. (I KNOW, I KNOW that's a lot for me to wish for but  i can dream can't I? Overall i hope we can all get along, and that we can sort our differences in different ways.

 Well before my headache and the pain in my fingers starts kicking in let me just say, im thankful for this whole year despite that it's leaving me with a large amount of hospital bills, medication, and loads of new side effects.

But its all good, im also thankful for the fact that doctors were able to locate my cancer just in time before it got any worst im thankful that i have insurance (now i realize how lucky i am for having something as simple as a good health insurance in this wonderful country) im thankful for my family (specially my mother) and for the friends who have been sharing my experience oh and also to the large amount of audience that i have around the world thank you so much for reading my blog. I'm also thankful to all those wonderful people i have met, like nurses, doctors, and just anyone who i have met even for just a minute this year. I wish you all a Prosperous, healthy New Year may 2011 bring the key to your happiness and mine as well.

I really have so many things in mind to do this year they are not my new years resolution because let's face it i don't think i have ever achieved any of my new years resolution. But what i have in my mind are set goals for my entire future. So to all my friends and loved one's Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!! BIG HUGS AND KISSES TO THE ONE'S I LOVE WHO ARE SO FAR AWAY IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES!!!!!!!

I love you all,
have a great and safe New Year's party in my honor!!!!!!!

p.s
i think it's about time to start using my vicodin prescription. My scar is giving me horrible pain.

My Radiation week!

I have begun my radiation treatment. On Monday i met with my Nuclear Doctor and she discussed further information on my radioactive treatment. I had to go today (Tuesday) once again to begin my dosage. Since I will be radioactive for a whole week i will be recording my days of  isolation.  First of all i must stay away from everyone specially babies, children and pregnant women oh and pets. So since it just happens that here at home we have 3 dogs and 2 small children (Brigitte and my cousin Omar) then obviously its best for me to just stay in my room. So the way this works, i need to use disposable plates and well any utensils and cups and anything i touch. All the clothe that i will wear throughout my radioactive period i must wash a week after on its own in case all the radioactive hasn't gone on its own. The bathroom that I'm using only I can use it, so anything else i will be using with gloves. So let's see how this goes.... Maybe i get some really cool out of this world supper powers lol.


Tuesday December 21, 2010

It's so cold, my room is seriously the coldest room of the entire house i don't know why? When it's already completely insulated. Anyways well Woke up early today to have a light breakfast and went to the hospital once again to meet with the Nuclear people, (seriously everyone at the administration and Nuclear place already know me) I feel like i live there lol! So they took me into the room that has left me jumpy, the one with the human straightening iron. Gave me a bunch of paper work had me put on gloves and handed me a little see-through tube with a regular sized pill (which i wasn't suppose to touch just swallow) didn't taste nor smelled like anything at all. I guess my nerves just had me a little nauseous but i survived. So now that I've been home the whole day since coming from the hospital. It's been so boring i usually love being in my room but its different when i'm being forced to this kind of isolation. I'm somewhat bored mostly cold and tired. It's still raining i wish the sun would of come out today, but i guess its on strike till further notice. So far i managed to clean my room, still need to fold some cloth on my bed.

But i did manage to paint my nails (ohhh yeah) i'm not sure if its safe for me to be using chemicals like acetone and nail polish maybe i should of asked.) I went on and used it anyways,

so the theme for today was 'The Grinch' Nails finally got to use my new Nicole by OPI polish ' Fell from the tree' and i really love how the design came out.

Unfortunately i couldn't go to the library to check out some books so my lap top will have to do. In the mean time before dinner i think ill watch something on NETFLIX.


Wednesday December 22, 2010

Couldn't sleep much last night, my body was in a lot of pain, i get this really annoying twitch on my legs and my arms and fingers go numb on top of that i get non-stop chills which drive me crazy. So far the only thing I've done today is take naps after after naps. Been reading from people that they were able to spot a rainbow and got a look at the sun. I guess i managed to sleep through that one because looking out my window all I see is rain. Oh ok so the only new symptom that i have felt since taking my radiation pill is this big discomfort on my neck. My scar keeps giving me this sharp tingling pain in the center. Other than that i still feel really weak and tired.

Thursday December 23, 2010

Oh my, so this isolation thing isn't working i need people to converse with! I miss my family, i know they are just out in the living room but not being able to hug my little sister or my mom is so annoying. I miss being out in the kitchen just keeping my mom company. Or sitting in the couch watching pointless shows on t.v. I guess im appreciating the little things. Well I get irritated my mom is just horrible, i kept snapping at my poor parents over the fact that they wouldn't come inside my room. What am i infested lol (Yup) well its also my very high levels of hypothyroidism that has me like this. Late was i inform that i could begin my thyroid medication, since tomorrow is Christmas Eve and my ENT's office will be closed i can't get my thyroid prescription till Monday. That's a long while and by the mood i'm having i need it badly.

Upon waking up today my body was in so much pain i couldn't get up from my own bed. Just knowing that i had to spend my day in my room was just upsetting. So i slept for a while and finally after a meal i got better. Tried teaching myself to knit but since that failed, i went back to Netflix  i watched 'La Dolce Vita' that Sylvia was one voluptuous doll. My second movie was 'My cousin Vinny' gotta love Joe Pesci, then i went with two 80's movies 'Maid to Order' and 'Only You' I had seen it before but i feel like 80's movies never get old i love them (Specially the John Hughes one's). So yeah my mood is way better now.

Friday December 24!
Christmas Eve!
Last day of radiation, still kept my distance from mostly everyone but i did manage to go out for a while, wow stores were so crowded, lines would seriously circle the whole store. But anyways i wasn't there to buy anything just to distract myself a bit. Still used plastic gloves and kept my distance from children and pregnant women.  At home i still did the same thing I've been doing for the past 3-days but felt much better about it. So glad tomorrow is a brand new day. Oh and finally the sun came out and for the first time in a long time i felt warm.

Saturday December 25!
Merry X-Mas
My bright sunny day is long gone, Rain is back to attack but I'm finally able to hug Brigitte and pet my dogs. So glad, even watching pointless tv was amazing. Well Merry X-MAS to everyone.

Tuesday December 28
Full body scan (Part deux)

Woke up supper early for my early full body scan (part due) tried my best but got a mild panic attack yet again. I just wish i could trick myself into liking that machine. But i hyperventilate as soon as i get on it. My Nuclear doctor was so nice to try and make everything as comfortable as possible for me, but I couldn't take it. I'm just glad i survived it and in the mean time i don't have any up-coming appointments with (the human straightening- iron.) I did begin my thyroid medication today, no major side effects so far. I really hope it stays that way. But i am supper tired, oh and the Nuclear Doctor's assistance did say that the radiation he was getting from me was way lower than last time (that's a really really good sign.)

thanks for being part of my radiation week

'Historic' Events were provided by (http://www.brainyhistory.com/daysbirth/birth_december_19.html)


The point is that its not an ordinary day (to me) because its ma b-day!!!!!! oh and i share my birthday with actor Jake Gyllenhaal, Actress Alyssa Milano and French singer Edit Piaf (La Vie en Rose)

So here's the story; I was born on Friday December 19, 1986 in San Salvador/ El Salvador in an improvised hospital due to the October 10, 1986 earthquake in El Salvador that destroyed the Hospital which i was scheduled to be born at. Also when the earthquake happen it scared the hell out of me inside my mother's belly that i flipped in a full sitting position, but luckily i decided to chance my position before birth. My dad was out on a business trip but told (me inside my mother's belly to wait till he was back) and of course i listened (like i always do wink wink lol) he was back exactly that Friday and my mother said she's sure i was born in the evening. Well anyways, I was my mother's Christmas gift.

So now that i'm 24 i can honestly now say that i do feel one year older. First of all im so glad i've made it this far in life despite of some major obstacles that i've had. As you all know by now im going through Thyroid Cancer and dealing with it is a big struggle. I can't say i'm used to it (i don't think anyone ever gets used to having Cancer) but when i was 3 months old i went through Bacterial Meningitis which is a rare but horrible disease. But i was lucky enough to have my mother who noticed in the middle of the night that i was convulsing and having seizures. Also very thankful to my Uncle Omar who also saved my life on our way to the hospital while my dad drove and my mother was in complete shock he was sucking out all the phlegm that could of gone to my brain and killed me. Thank God i can't remember but my mother went through a lot seeing her 3 month old baby having to have shots in (my spinal cord) and go through many months of study. So i was able to make it out of that one at 3 months so Thyroid Cancer watch out! Anyways i know i collapse at times and i say this and that and im always annoying the hell out of everyone by saying im tired which i am. But im determine to recover from this ASAP so my life as an adult can officially begin. I really hope that before my birthday next year i am able to accomplish some goals that i have in mind.

Throughout my years i have had a wonderful life up's and down's just like everyone else but that's what makes up life. I have my fantastic parents and my beautiful little sister Brigitte (Oops almost forget my other sister and brother i guess their OK lol j/k.) I've had the opportunity to meet some pretty great people (some for a minute other for hours, days, weeks, months and years) The friends who i have who I really share my life with can be counted with just one hand. But they are amazing and i thank God everyday for you guys. Specially my best friend who always manages to help me out with the toughest things by being my reality check (you my friend know who you are and I love you from the bottom of my heart. TI VOGLIO BENE il mio ragazzo ;* )

I'm pretty sure i won't do anything today because frankly i'm broke lol, tired, and extremely cold and i doubt this rain is going to stop on my account. So i will probably sleep for half of the day and try to clean a bit. But cheers on my special day. and again thank you lord for allowing me one more year of life!

P.S
definitely no birthday cake (ever since my surgery my sugar craving has been 100% everyday and if i continue giving in there's no telling)


Well thanks for stopping by

CARO DIARIO!

'Molto Stanca'

I'm completely out of it! I'm tired, depressed, sad, upset etc.......
hate it so much, i thought i had been able to get all this under control but depression has been coming back to get me! My body has been in so much pain a simple task as sneezing makes my elbows and wrist hurt as if they are broken. I went out with my mom to Costco and i was so moody, on top of that i could hardly walk my whole body was in excruciating pain. I can't even begin to describe how it felt. But it was a horrible discomfort and complete embarrassment to feel my body in such a poor state. Seriously!!!!!! as i was walking my legs wouldn't react i felt like every bone in my body was just going to collapse right there and then. My arms and my fingers hurt so bad at night that these past 3 days i haven't been able to sleep. I have come back to the days in which i feared for my life, i get so scared at night. The heart palpitations are back (or maybe it's just me) but they sure sound like there back. It makes me so sad that I'm so tired, i sleep and sleep and sleep and still i look tired and this is just too much. Tomorrow is my full body scan and quite frankly I'm so anxious. Yesterday the 13th i got my radioactive pill to get my body ready for the full body scan so i still need to keep  6 feet distance from my little sis and cousin. (So memo to self: MUST FIND MY ENERGY)

'OH GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH'

I don't know how to feel today, crying hasn't helped one bit, but my fear is elevating each passing moment.
I woke up early to get to the hospital before 7:30 am for my full body scan. I thought it would be better/thought i would just do it and everything would be over. But boy oh boy, was i completely wrong. First of all upon seeing the machine that i was going to get into i got very confident that i could do it (piece of cake) Well i was wrong i underestimated the machine it wasn't one of those machines that look like bullets in which they place u to scan your whole body. This one was like a huge straightening iron machine the one's that two steal plates straighten your hair (duh! that's how all straightening iron's look like) well i was chill kept telling myself oh you got this u can so do this.  But the very second that i lay down and started to get pressed by the machine i remember: Yo girl, remember your claustrophobic and this shit don't fly with you!!!! Yup I'm claustrophobic and i had an immediate panic attack specially that the specialist who did it strapped me tight and my entire memory of the surgery came back. I got nauseous tried to close my eyes,  tried for 5 seconds to breath but i kept getting dizzier than ever. I finally realized that i couldn't do it, nearly crying i told the specialist to please stop that i was claustrophobic and i needed time. He said: "You should of told me that." but he was so nice he loosed up the straps and let me breath and relax a bit. But then i had to get back, so  2nd time around I closed my eyes and tried not to think, and finally my head was out just my body was still inside (not great at all but as long as my head was out.) He got me out once again and told me he had to mark my neck and that i unfortunately needed to go back in for 10 minutes (your kidding me right) to take more pictures of my neck in which i have the Cancer. Well i managed my eyes completely shut i tried and i did it (it sure wasn't and easy task to do.) Afterward he had me stand up and with an odd looking machine he stood about 3 feet apart from me and help the machine by my neck upon doing so the machine started beeping as if gold had been found. Then he said: Well there's still a bit of Cancer like it was expected. For a moment he got me happy but then when i went to get my things i saw two pictures of my full body on the monitor it was a white silhouette the back side of my body was all white but the front had 2 black spots, one dot was in my neck the other (can't remember clearly) but it was either in my right or left side breast or arm pit. So i said is the neck the only place i have Cancer he stood quiet and said we have to analyze these picture and your doctor will let u know. (SO IM FREAKING OUT!!!! I'M SCARED SO SCARED! I KNOW WHAT I SAW, I SAW A BLACK DOT BY MY BREAST BONE OR SOMEWHERE IN MY CHEST) Seriously I'm devastated i had already accepted my THYROID CANCER SO PLEASE OH PLEASE LORD HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME! I hope i can get my results back soon cause I'm crushed, words cannot describe how i feel today.

'Hectic Day'

It's been an ok day, have had mild stress but i managed to sleep a bit more last night. I've been up the whole day running errands and helping my mother with Brigitte's x-mas school presentation. With only a day left there are seriously no more x-mas dresses left. (Damn Procrastinators lol ) But we finally managed to find a perfect dress for her to wear tomorrow. We also went to a school play she was participating on, she was a little angel dusting snow all over the place (supper cute.) So I've been thinking a lot about my health and it concerns me so much but now im feeling guilty about how much i let this get to me, i have to be strong and i gotta pull myself together.

'Nervous'

My mood has been a whole lot better, spoke to my ENT's secretary and she said the following week i will begin radiation in the hospital. I still don't know how it works, they haven't given me much details about it. All i know is that my doctors just switched gears all of a sudden and i don't know why? First they were going to get more blood work from me and i was scheduled to go to the hospital on Wednesday; but the nuclear specialist over at the hospital called to scratch that and instead go to the hospital first thing But i need to start ASAP because she said my thyroid levels are very high i'm in hypothyroidism that explains all the symptoms that im having: (Weakness, fatigue, depression, chills, joint pain, etc and on top of it im nearly 90% prone to catching a cold or a flue! So gotta be careful with that, specially that it's extremely cold and it hasn't stopped raining. My head hurts a bit so i should lay down.

La Guadalupana!

I don't watch much TV, at least not on the actual television i watch my favorite showtime shows online. But from time to time i like watching  'Aquí y Ahora' its like the 20/20 in Spanish, of course it comes out on one of the biggest Spanish television Networks Univision canal 34. I'm really glad i tuned in this Tuesday because there was a story that caught my eye.

But before i begin let me just say, I'm not religious (meaning i don't practice nor follow one religion, which i will be blogging about in the near future.) But for now i will say I do believe in GOD, i pray every night and i have a lot of faith in the Lord. I know miracles happen but I'm sometimes more of a realist and sometimes I'm very skeptical to believing miracles happen.

Also I have never prayed to a Virgin nor a Saint (Why did i just mention a Virgin???) Well because the story is about a Miracle 'LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE' (The Virgin Guadalupe) did. Oh by the way please don't get me wrong i have nothing against anyone who prays to her this is just on a personal level. But I gotta admit sometimes it annoys me how much exploitation people sometimes do with 'LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE' (The Virgin Guadalupe) example: 'She appeared in my cereal, eggs, chair, drink etc....catch my drift well we have heard all sort of places she has appeared.

Well today is December 12th its the day Juan Diego took proof to the non believing Spanish Bishop whom Juan Diego had told about the dark Virgin who appeared before him. (Yes i did goggle some info about her which happens to be a very interesting story.)

So anyways well the story that caught my eye on 'Aqui y Ahora' (oh which is mean 'Here and Now') was about a little girl (around 6 i believe) who had not only been diagnosed with Cancer but her whole entire little body was invaded with some kind of rare Cancer; and upon diagnoses she had to go under multiple surgeries so she would be able to walk. Well her mother was a non-practicing Jew and her father a non practicing Catholic meaning they didn't speak much of any religion nor had any religious portraits at home.

Anyways the little girl was going through Chemo and all sort of medication to treat her condition.  Which also Doctor's had told the parents she had about a 2% chance of living. But the little girl started telling her mom that 'MOTHER CHURCH' would visit her and would speak to her. Both parents were puzzled and had no idea who mother church could be so they printed out a bunch of pictures of Virgins from the Internet and asked the little girl to recognize mother church. To their surprise she pointed out The Virgin of Guadalupe' as being mother church. Now her parents were confused because like i they had never taught her about any religious figure. But the parents not knowing what to do started searching and found out that the little girl had been born on December 12 which like i said just happens to be 'La Virgen of Guadalupe's Day' so they decided to start praying to the Virgin of Guadalupe and the dad said that in one particular occasion he felt a a powerful energy from the back of the head and a voice telling him "Lo buscaran pero no lo encontraran" translation "they will look but they won't find it" Then it was time for the little girl to get another full body scan and to every one's surprise the Little girl's entire Cancer was completely gone.

Which Doctors clearly said was totally and completely impossible specially with the severity of the Cancer she had. So this my friends is a straight out miracle and i seriously believe this one actually it impressed me so much. Oh and the parents did a special shrine in the back yard for the Virgin and converted to Catholic and flew to Mexico to visit the Basilica of The Virgin of Guadalupe and as they said they will be eternally grateful.

So i really wanted to blog about it, because i found it to be so interesting and inspiring and like my dad always Say's "Faith moves mountains." Well hope you guys found this story interesting i sure did.

By the way tomorrow I'm going into the hospital to get my full body scan to check that my Cancer hasn't spread.
