Rose’s Story

Site created on June 4, 2018

On April 30, I went to see my GYN for what seemed to be a minor issue. I was immediately referred to Dr. Sandra Shultz who did a biopsy in the office and stated she was concerned. On May 2, Dr. Shultz called and confirmed I had breast cancer. I seen her in the office on May 7 where she told me I have Triple Negative breast cancer. Now I am seeing Dr. Lane Hellner at Levine's CMC in Pineville. SHe is an oncologist. I am also seeing Dr. Meygan Forester, oncologist surgeon there too. I have had lots of lab work, a CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and a bone scan. All have been clear of cancer. Praise God!!! I have also had a diagnoistic mammogram and ultrasound that did not show any other cancer.

I am completing 16 rounds of chemo over the next 20 weeks. My 2nd chemo treatment will be June 15 if my lab work looks good. 

I cannot say how much I appreciate your prayers and friendship. Please continue to pray this cancer is killed and that it never shows back up anywhere in my body. Pray for my family and they take me back and forth and for them to have strength.

Journal entry by Mike Bono —

Merry Christmas!

 

I wanted to give you an update on my health.  I went to the oncologist a couple weeks ago and my lab work was good.  I don’t have to see the oncologist or the oncology surgeon until February.  I am seeing the endocrinologist sooner because my thyroid functions are not normal.  They have adjusted my medication 3 times since finishing chemo and it’s still not normal.

 

I praise God for the great news and my continued good health.  I also praise him for placing you in my life.  It is so important to have friends and co-workers in our lives to support us and pray for us.  You have touch my family in ways that we will never forget. 

 

I ask that you join me in praising God for the good news and pray that that cancer never returns.  My prayer for you is that you will be able to spend time with the people you love and that you have a happy and healthy new year.
