Growing Out ...

I know its been a long time since our last update. Metisha’s Thanksgiving post was just so uplifting and inspirational that I wanted to leave at the top of this blog!

So for the past few months, everything has been growing out, literally. Metisha’s hair is continuing to grow out; curly, but out. And her new ta ta’s are growing out nicely also. She goes to the plastic surgeon every few weeks for expansion and has just one or two expansions left. The exciting news is she will get her permanent ta ta’s on March 17th! They will make for a nice birthday present for Mark :) After the implants are in they will get a chance to settle and then the plastic surgeon will give her new headlights. Mark and Tish are debating on high beams or low beams :)

Metisha had genetic testing done to determine if she carries a breast cancer gene. The test came back negative! This is great news because that means she is not at a higher risk for ovarian cancer.

Metisha also had her 6 month checkup with her oncologist last week and everything went great. He said because her genetic test was negative, she is not in immediate need of a hysterectomy. She also had a bone density scan to monitor for bone loss due to her currently menopausal state and she has her next CAT scan on the 31st. This will be the first full scan she has had since July. Keep this scan in your prayers. We continue to believe in and thank God for His healing of Metisha and praise him in anticipation of another clean scan!
