Pat’s Story

Site created on January 12, 2021

On January 9, Pat was admitted to Providence Portland Medical Center to address some recent challenges she has had with anemia.  While trying to identify the source of the anemia,  doctors found cancer in Pat's liver.  While we are awaiting the results of continued testing and a detailed diagnosis, it appears that Pat has Stage IV pancreatic cancer.  

We will be updating this site as we have more information, and covet your prayers for Pat and Jim at this time.  We appreciate the many offers of help and words of love and encouragement. The best way to support Pat right now is to leave a comment for Pat to read. Seeing your words of love and encouragement mean so much to her.
