(Mary) Jill’s Story

Site created on July 12, 2019

Welcome to my CaringBridge website. I am using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. I appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting. My health news? I have rectal cancer. This has appeared 5 years after my breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. They are not related (so I'm told). I took lots of genetic tests during my breast cancer treatment and was negative for being predisposed to breast and colon cancer. (Both cancers have appeared in my family history). So much for genetic testing. The journal posts here start with the most recent entry, click on "Read more entries" at the bottom of the page to start from the beginning!

Journal entry by Jill Freshwaters

Wow, I've been three years cancer free! All of my checkups have been negative for cancer recurrence and no new cancer! Praise be to God! and to all prayer warriors.

However, I do need more prayer help for my sister, Jean. Jean is the one who cared for me and sat with me throughout my chemo treatments. Jean has stage 4 ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed right after Thanksgiving 2022. We are not posting anything on social media about her cancer, please do not reach out through social media.

Jean has completed 3 out of 6 cycles of chemo. Her husband and sons are taking care of her so I have not been able to hold her hand like she held mine. I can just pray my heart out and recruit other prayer warriors on her behalf.

Here is the link to her Caringbridge site:       https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jeanpetsche

If you would like her address or email, please email me at jill.freshwaters@comcast.net

Prayers needed and appreciated! and remember, please do not post or make comments on social media!

Many thanks,
JILL
