https://gofund.me/9289cac1Dianne was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer on June 21, 2022. This diagnosis marks the third time her sweet family has received the news that this awful disease forced its way back into their lives. It is overwhelming. Dianne was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 and underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. She was given a clean bill of health in 2018. Her cancer returned in 2020. She again had extensive surgery and was in remission.
Dianne has been happily married to Matt for 18 years. They have a son, Will, who will be 15 at the end of June. Her family moved to
Indiana in November 2021 for Matt's new job and to be closer to family. Since this move, Matt's organization downsized, and his position was eliminated. Dianne started a new job two weeks before this recent diagnosis. Although being near family will be a blessing,
the changes in employment will represent stress and additional hardships. Dianne is strong and intends to work while receiving
treatment.
Chemotherapy treatment will begin on Thursday, June 30, in Indiana. However, as the cancer is advanced, Dianne will be traveling to MD Anderson in Houston for second opinions and possible treatments. Dianne has a survivor's attitude. She is fighting for the chance to see her son grow up, play with grandbabies, and grow old with her husband. She has a wonderfully supportive family; her strength comes from her faith, family, and friends.
Love to All,
Team Dianne
