Theresa’s Story

Site created on February 16, 2023

11 years ago today (February 17th, 2012), Theresa had surgery in response to being diagnosed with stage 1 left breast cancer.  Radiation treatments and pharmaceuticals, along with tremendous support from family and friends got us to October 2022.  Thank you to everyone who has helped us in big and small ways.
This time to address stage 4 left breast cancer Theresa has chosen a natural approach to battling cancer which currently includes vitamin C and curcumin infusions at a clinic in Mankato, along with supplements and significant lifestyle changes (especially diet!).   The current methodology is not only to strengthen Theresa's own immune system and fight the present cancer, but also to eliminate the cause of her cancer.

At this time we are waiting for the blood work from last Wednesday (2/8) which will show whether the level of circulating cancer cells has increased or decreased since Nov 2022.

We have set up a GiveSendGo (https://www.givesendgo.com/Theresa_Lorentz) account to allow friends and family to support Theresa.  The link is provided in the "ways to help" section of this website.  The most important and powerful way to help Theresa is to pray.  And, GiveSendGo has a 'say a prayer for Theresa' option.

* note: "tribute" donations will go to Caring Bridge website.  GiveSendGo donations (prayers, monetary, etc) will go directly to help pay for Theresa's care.

Please pray!  Pray for Theresa to be healed.  We have always believed, and have witnessed, miracles.  We are praying for a miracle to completely heal Theresa.

St. Peregrine, pray for Theresa.

St. Padre Pio, pray for Theresa.
