Welcome to our CaringBridge website for our mother, Marie Nelson. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.  On 10/15/2019 Marie was diagnosed with Stage IV Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma.    She is being treated with chemotherapy.  She has also been diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia and Afib.  We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.  God Bless, Lisa, Tami & Niki.

Journal entry by Lisa Wright

For those who have been following our mother's story of the past 2 years...

On Wednesday, she was diagnosed with Aggressive Triple Negative Carcinoma (the bad type of breast cancer, this is different from her Lymphoma).  She is unable to receive treatment for numerous reasons and was put on hospice Wednesday.  Since June, she has shown a sharp decline in her mental & physical capabilities.  She  is 76, has pneumonia & an infection that, with treatment, will not go away.  She also has very limited memory (but also throws out a "zinger" once in a while) and spends most of the day in bed, although occasionally sits in her wheelchair.  She needs assistance eating at times...but still loves her gummies.  Our mom has been a life long member of Suamico United Methodist church and is now entering her last stage of life on earth.  Although we are broken hearted, we take comfort through Christ and believe that earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal.  Please pray for Marie.

God Bless~

Lisa, Tami & Niki
