Journal entry by Staci Eickmeier

Thank you all again so much for visiting Darah's Caring Bridge website. Please continue to visit for updates! 

If you're visiting here, you know that Darah received very difficult news that she has been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to multiple lesions on her liver. This comes with much shock and family and friends are still processing everything, however Darah and her family are already so overwhelmed by the blessing of the support they have already gotten from loved ones and a great medical team. 

Darah had a successful surgery for getting biopsies and her chemo port. Chemo will start very soon. The recommended plan is to start with chemo and the prayer is that chemo will shrink as much as possible. It's still uncertain how long the chemo journey will be and the possibility of more surgery after chemo may be an option. She has a visit planned at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston soon. Praising the Lord this resource is so close to her. Prayers that this may be helpful for her along her journey. 

We are setting up a Go Fund Me as so many of you have reached out for ways to help. Darah and Robert will have needs arise such as babysitter and house cleaning services, hotel stays for medical appointments, medical expenses insurance may not cover, food expenses, etc. Go Fund Me will give them some flexibility to use your donations for their various needs. They truly appreciate any donations but also are just thankful for you joining them in praying!
