Hello Beth's Believers,

It's been just over one year ago today that marks an anniversary that I will never forget and changed my life and family life drastically.  Being diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast cancer (stage 3C) has been so intense and the deliverance of the terror of treatments made it easy to be self-absorbed, not totally realizing how it affected others.    My mother and daughter Allison came in to the rescue to be my nurses and was very tolerant as I was not always the most compliant patient 😁.  

Within 10 days of diagnosis, I had 4 doctor appointments, 2 surgeries, 3 hospital scans and started chemotherapy.  Not knowing if I was going to survive, I did know and feel each one of you graciously supporting me, encouraging me and lifting prayers up to the Lord for strength and total healing.  Well it worked, I am cancer free and going strong!  As a family member stated "God is not done with you yet and you have more damage to be done here on Earth."  I think this was a compliment?!?

As season changes and fall is now approaching, there are new challenges ahead.  My daughter Allison goes in for preventative breast cancer surgery and I start my first reconstructive surgery on September 30th.  We as a family will stay strong to live through this BRACA2 cancer gene and we will not take each day for granted anymore and live a purposeful life to help others.

I have posted some pictures from these past summer months.  My goal was to reach out to others in need and reconnect with as many friends and family as I could.  Of course, you will notice me supporting a variety of hairstyles.  👱‍♀️

Blessings,

- Beth Fries
