My right foot was swollen and tender so I went to my primary care and was told it's nothing to worry about. After 4 months of not being treated and not getting anywhere, I was deperate and went to a podiatrist. He immediately sent me for a xray, then a nuclear bone scan, then a white blood cell skin tag or scan and was told I actually have cancerous bone cells in my foot and I am going to start a biphosponate chemo infusion called Aredia on Monday the 23rd. I have had family members on chemo, but not this type. I have scoured the websites on what to expect and it is scary.
I don't have a lot of family/close friends to help me through this, but I do have my son I adopted and is 4 years old. I have had him since he was a newborn.
I appreciate any encouragement and if anyone has any experiece with Aredia, I would love to hear it-good or bad. Thanks, Heavenleahangel

Thanks, Clay; I do plan on fighting this with every ounce of life in me. I have a 4 year old little boy that will be an orphan if I die! Seriously! I have no one who can or will care for him. I have overcome some hellacious situations and came out a winner in true Leo lioness fashion! This too shall pass.....

This is what I think of my diagnosis today...

I’ve battled wars not mine to wage
I’ve fought the fight with endless rage.
I’ve been triumphant and stood my ground,
So cancer won’t beat ME this round!
The fighter inside me will stand strong
And battle ‘til this demons gone.
I’ll rally allies to help my plight
And let their love carry on my fight.
If I should falter on this road
I’ll call my family to lighten my load.
For I know I’m loved with faith abound,
So cancer won’t beat me-not this round.
In love’s name I rally all I need
To win this battle, and to succeed.
I’ve fought my battles, won them all
Cancer won’t be my final call!
