there. i said it.
it's a word i have always cringed at.
the cyst that was removed from my ovary came back testing positive for cancer.
there are still lot of unanswered questions. chemo is most likely in the near future in efforts to make sure that another tumor does not form or spread to another part of the body.
life is precious and we need to enjoy every great moment we have! each of us battle our own different trials. i know my heavenly father loves me and knows me personally. it's times like this that we can prove our faith in something we have believed our whole life.
thanks for all your prayers and support.

Jaci...Its Amanda King from the SpEd program. I have been blog stalking you for a while now. I am so very sorry to hear about your situation and want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Jaci, I love you and am praying for you! I am going to call you in a few days because I know you are probably being bombarded with calls! I love you!
Jaci, I'm at a complete loss of words. Blair and I are sitting here with watery eyes and we want you to know how much we love you and that our thoughts and prayers are with you. You're a great example to us. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you.
Oh Jaci I'm so sorry! I didn't even think that it was a possibility. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do for you. I love you! You are in my prayers.
Prayers are with you, hon!!
Oh Jaci! Our love and prayers are with you. I hope you'll be treated at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. If you are let me know- I work right across the street and would love to help in any way I can (food, flowers, company, candy, etc.). Deven had cancer at 15 (you probably knew that), and I can imagine how you must feel. The good news is cancer treatment is better than its ever been. Hang in there!
Jaci- our thoughts and prayers are with you. You'll get through this.
Jaci- I'm so sorry to hear that but I am amazed by your attitude and optimism. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Oh Jaci. I'm so sorry, I had no idea. You are in my prayers and if I can do anything else from a distance, please let me know.
I love the paragraph saying how we really need to enjoy the great moments we have. So true. It's sad how we need reminded sometimes. Well, in that one paragraph, your outlook, your testimony--- was very powerful, simple, and uplifting. Thank you for your example.
Brave. That's what you are, brave. And beautiful. And the maker of amazing hats (is it OK to say that I still want one to adorn both Mason and Finlee's heads?)
Thinking of you and Zach. Sending much love your way and offering prayers in your behalf.
Oh my goodness, Jaci. We are praying for you. We love you!!!
I'll keep you in my prayers! I'm so proud of you for being so positive. Life is full of so many challenges, but you are right..Heavenly Father does love you! He will always be there for you.
Jaci, my heart goes out to you. I love you and you are in my prayers.
I am so, so sorry Jaci! This must be so hard. We are praying for you and hope all goes well with your treatments. Keep us updated.
i'll be praying for you! good luck, you are so brave.
Wow...I don't know what to say! I am so sorry Jaci. Hang in there...you're in my thoughts and prayers!
I'll pray for you! Cancer is scary but so real. I have witnessed maricles of healing and of the maricle of comfort.

Oh Jaci...I am so sorry :( But I know you are strong and you have always been so spiritually strong. I know that you will be able to endure. Keep us posted and we will keep you in our prayers.
Jace, I am so sorry. This is the first I have heard about this. I wish you the best and know that our thoughts and prayers and healing wishes are being sent your way. Let me know is there's anything. I have a good friend who battled (and won) ovarian cancer. I will give you her number. Love you, Stewart Family
I'm sorry, Jaci! You'll be in my prayers.
Jaci- I'm sending lots of love and prayers your way. You are a strong woman and I know you can make it through this. I know it's hard, but you have a lot of people pulling for you!
I have always admired your testimony and strength. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. It's wonderful that you are so positive and know that the Lord has a plan for you. It's always a blessing to remember He loves us and knows us and that he never gives us anything we can't handle.
You and your family will be in my prayers!
Jaci, we're thinking and praying for you! The Lord doesn't give trials like this to the weak. You can do it! Love you. Your cousin, Mindy

You have always been in my thoughts-- and I promise now to keep you in my prayers too.

Jaci, I feel just terrible and I haven't talked to you for so long. I hope you know how much I love you and you are in my prayers. Please let me know if you ever need anything. I love you!
"Lift up your heads and be of good comfort, for I know of the covenant which ye have made unto me; and I will covenant with my people and deliver them out of bondage. And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions." (Mosiah 24:13-14)
"All things wherewith you have been afflicted shall work together for your good." (D&C 98:3)
We are all fasting and praying for you. We know you can beat this.Don't forget that God is with you. Thanks for being an awesome cousin. I'll make you cookies anytime you need it :) I love you!
I'm so very, very sorry. I can't believe it - just can't.
Love you so much. Will think of you daily and pray for you always.
Jaci, I saw Adri's blog this morning and I have been crying since. I am crying because I am so sorry, but mostly because of how amazng you are and the family (and friends) you have surrounding you. You will be in our prayers constantly and our little family would love to fast for you this Sunday. Just know we are thinking of you...
Jaci, I am so terribly sorry to hear of this difficult news! I have been thinking of you the last few days after I heard the news. I can't seem to get you and your situation out of my mind, I really am praying for you and hoping for the best. What a wonderful person you are and look at that great attitude you have! You are an inspiration to many.
I'm not sure of the details but if you end up having to see an oncologist and get chemo - I worked for an oncologist a few years ago and and he is honestly THE BEST. He is a VERY busy Doctor, but he'll take OUTSTANDING care of you if you go to him. If I had something like this come into my life, I wouldn't trust anyone but him to take care of me. Let me know if you'd like to know his name.
We'll be thinking of you and praying for you!! Keep your chin up.
Jaci...my birthday buddy...my family is praying for yours.
Jaci, I am so sorry to hear your news! We love you and will be praying for you and fasting for you as well this Sunday. Please let us know if there is anything you need and know how much you are loved and in our thoughts. The Lord will bless you. Hugs for now.
Jaci, I really hope you are doing okay and moving forward. Obviously you didn't go into detail (and I don't blame you) but I hope that all things work out for you. I don't know if you knew my brother had cancer when he was twenty three. It was a difficult thing to live with. There will be days when the world comes down around you. And that's okay. But just remember that whatever the future holds, that the church is true. What an amazing gift to have been married in the temple with a loving spouse. I know there are miracles on this earth today...even if they don't happen the way we would hope! I will keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts.
Dang it Jaci. Prayers coming from across the pond.
Sending love and prayers your way. You can get through this. xoxo - Marci
Jaci, I read this post the day you wrote it , tried to leave a comment, but was at a complete loss of words. I can't even begin to fathom what you're feeling in these moments and what you've already been through up to this point. I've been thinking about you every minute. May the Lord bless you during this most difficult time... I know He will. :)
My thoughts and prayers are with you! You are an amazing woman and I admire your positive attitude and great faith. You are a great example to me. I am here for you so let me know what I can do to lighten your load. :)
Jaci,
I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I have been thinking about you constantly these past few days and my heart goes out to you. I have always looked up to you and admired the person you have become. You have accomplished so many wonderful things in your life and are an inspiration to many. You have such a strong testimony and I know it will carry you far during this difficult and trying time. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Jaci! I just want you to know that I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I know I haven't seen you for a long time and live far away, but you are in my prayers. You are such a beautiful, talented, amazing person. Good luck with treatment! Keep us updated!
Jaci, you'll probably not see this as I'm so late in getting my comment in, but best of luck to you! You have always been so sweet that of course everything will work out just swell! Thanks for sharing and God be with you!!
Jaci~ You are a remarkable woman. I admire your courage and strength and resolve. Your Father in Heaven certainly, absolutely, completely and fully loves you...hold tight to that love and know that through Him you CAN do anything! Praying, and rooting, for you always.
I don't really know what to say. I'm so sorry and you guys are in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know if you need anything!
Jaci, I just saw this post. Please know you're in my prayers. And please let me know if there is anything I can do for you - even from a distance!
Jaci,
I just heard about your cancer and to find out more, so I dived into your blog. You are amazing! Your optimism is so encouraging. May the Lord continue to bless you during this time with peace, comfort, and love. I'll be praying too.
You are an amazing example. Good luck with everything, I'll keep you in my prayers!
I'm a little behind on the blog updates :) and this post just broke my heart. I know without a doubt you can and will get through it. Show cancer who is boss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers each day. Hang in there.
Jaci - I hadn't heard about this until now. I'm so sorry to hear such news, but you can get through it. We'll be praying for you!!!
Jaci - I know I'm WAY late in saying this (I haven't done much blog surfing lately), but I am thinking of you. I agree. Cancer is a scary, scary word. It's always terrified me too. I know you can and will be a strong fighter. Your positive attitude in face of such a trial is such an example to me. Sending thoughts and prayers your way!
