Nancy’s Story

Site created on December 2, 2020

On Wednesday, November 25, I was diagnosed with a terminal grade 4 glioblastoma multiform tumor, a very aggressive brain tumor. The 8.5 hour brain surgery was completed on Monday, November 30, at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. The surgeons were able to remove much of the tumor, specifically an astrocytoma, however, some of the cancer remains "in some valuable real estate", said Dr. Wade Mueller. In mid December, I will begin chemotherapy and radiation treatments for about one year. While this is very sad news, my hope is to use this remaining time to share my faith in Jesus Christ, and allow others to come with me on this journey as we experience the realities of life and death. As you all know, I love sharing deeply of myself, so lean in and experience as much of this with me as you like. Ask questions and share anytime.
