Thank you all so very very much for the help that you have given me and my family over the past few months from food, gifts, cards of encouragement, texts, emails, messages on social media and the beautiful friend visits to my “vacation” in Boca. What a wonderful community we have in Lexington. Even though I’m 500 miles away, I felt love bigtime! The multitude of prayers have been felt all those miles away too. It makes me feel like I have not done enough for friends who have gone through this in the past. But I know that I’ve learned a lot and will absolutely use this in our caregiving business. Perspective is an amazing teacher. Whatever you have done for me it ALL counts and it helped me one more day to get through it. 

I had my double mastectomy on June 20th, heaped for 2 weeks and was supposed to hear what the results of the lymphnode direction pathology report said. It was delayed by one more week and I was pretty shocked to hear that in fact the growth in my lymphnode was malignant and even though the cancer is removed, chemotherapy and HER-2 therapy is required. I want to kill any cancer that is left in my blood stream. This process will take a year, I will be tired, have to change my lifestyle and lose my hair. God hasn’t been carrying me through this entire process, even though I have tried to break away from Him in protest, He continually reminds me that I am His child and He loves me, nurtures me and cares for me when I think I’m alone, He is there. 

My womderful friend sent me the most encouraging, fighter message from the Bible and another Christian publication.
