Cancer is back…
Posted by stephanie on March 13th, 2007
This isn’t very easy news to share. As all of you know I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in June of 2005. We ran the rules using the best, most aggressive treatment available. I have been kept under a microscope with very frequent follow up. Many of you shared in my success of completing the Komen 3-day 60 mile walk in October 2006. I never quite bounced back from the walk and had begun to have some issues this past month. I had test run lat Friday and more today.
Today I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer with metastasis to multiple lobes of my liver. The news wasn’t exactly what John or I have planned for or were expecting. In the old days, there wasn’t a lot of hope. They do not yet have a cure but they promise me we have many more drugs and some trials that are offering much promise. They are sending me to MD Anderson in Houston for follow-up and a second opinion. We will leave this week or next.
God is great and with a prayer circle like mine God will hear our prayers. So all you mighty prayer warriors it’s time to go to battle. I know he has a plan for me and we can beat this.
We love you all,
Stephanie, John, Jennifer & David
