Onjalai’s Story

Site created on December 6, 2021

Welcome to OCSS (Onjalai's Cancer Support System). As many of you are now familiar, our wonderful and joyous friend Onjalai is beginning her healing journey following her diagnosis with Stage II Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Breast Cancer. The good news is that this type of cancer is the most common, therefore most treatable AND she caught it relatively early. She has opted to get a lumpectomy that will remove the mass and during that process the surgeon will remove some lymph nodes for additional testing. I know she would appreciate your continued prayers for a seamless surgery and a speedy recovery. 

I know that we all want to be supportive through this phase in her life, so this page was created to provide a place to focus our love, prayers, gifts, helpful resources, and donations. Updates on Onjalai's condition will also be found on this website including surgery updates and messages from our bubbly friend. The fight against cancer goes on and we are here to uplift Onjalai in any way that we can! We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. 

Thanks for visiting!

Uphill Battle…Yet We Press On

Journal entry by Onjalai Brown —

Hey y’all,

Hit a setback with gastroenteritis this week and it was truly unlike anything I’ve experienced with my weakened immune system. There are some days that shake me to my core and require every fiber of strength and faith I have to just get out of bed. This is truly a fight for my life. Yet I rejoice and know that this season has an end date. As I choose to trust God in spite of what it looks like, I’m one day closer to my healing. 

Thank you for being a part of the journey, a witness to this beautiful mess, and celebrating every milestone. Just 7 more left. We got this!

All my love and gratitude,
