Hi Everyone, 
I have some sad news to share.  I learned this week that my breast cancer has come back and has spread to my brain.  I haven't been feeling well for several months, but this diagnosis comes as a shock to me.  I will start the first of 10 radiation treatments to my brain on Monday.  Next week I will have a PET scan to check to see if other areas of my body have been affected and then a biopsy to collect cells to help my oncologist at KU develop an individualized treatment plan.  

I appreciate all of the supportive calls and texts I have received from family and friends in the recent days.  I am still processing this diagnosis and what it will mean for me, my girls and Andy moving forward.  It can be overwhelming to update everyone individually, so i hope to regularly share updates here to keep you informed.
