It has been a minute since we updated. This will probably be long! I’m soooo sorry! I get carried away on FB updating, but forget to come here. Feel free to check out my public album I’m keeping called “The Cancer Chronicles - A Healing Journey”.

I wanted to take a minute to say thank you to all who have supported us through all of this. Every bit of support is SO important. Notes of kindness and warm wishes, prayers, shares, and financial support are all equally important (prayers are more actually 😘) to us through all of this. Anyone who knows me, knows that I do NOT like asking for help for anything! I will fake it till I make it, before asking for help. I NEED help through this and have already seen how much love and support I have! I am truly humbled and blessed.❤️🙏🏻

As to me, I am ok! I get tired easily, but I just nap. I am eager to begin my treatments but so far we have only handled all the tests needed to assess and attack! We are in Clearwater, FL, where we were blessed to find a host to rent an apartment above her garage for $850 a month so a total of $1940 for the 10 weeks. It isn’t/wasn’t our first pick, as we would much rather have total privacy, but this is what God provided us so we will not complain. He has a plan I am sure and maybe being a witness to our host is all it is, and that is enough. This was about 1/8 of what any other place we could find would have cost us. We had so many beautiful humans working diligently to find somewhere inexpensive for us to stay and we are eternally grateful. A beautiful woman, whom no one in my family knows but was a flight attendant, found this for me. Can you believe God sent an angel like that? Isn’t HE just amazing??? But with those blessings, satan always attacks. We thought it was the fact that she told us we couldn’t bring our 15 yr old son here for spring break. That is crazy but she meant it so we will have to find somewhere to stay when we get him. We thought our adult children and even my parents may be able to visit for a couple days to support me but there isn’t anywhere for them to stay. And to top it all off, the couch in this apartment broke this morning, so we will be trying to see if we can fix it. Just wish I brought my drill, but I do have some tools because I never leave home without them! Lol It is so stupid! The sofa bed was literally nailed and screwed into fiberboard and nothing happened. Paul was sitting in it, I was vacuuming and we heard a noise. I looked and a screw was on the floor. Then, another. We decided not to sit on it anymore and went for a walk. Came back and I forgot and sat. The whole sofa bed hit the floor as the final tiny screw fell out. 😫 Anyway! Lol

For those that didn’t know, we had already wracked up approximately $20,000 (I need to sit down and compile them all, so we have a real idea) in medical bills prior to coming here, just attempting to get a diagnosis and plan of action. Piedmont has us on a payment plan. The oncology team, I somehow got, was obviously part of God’s plan for me because not 1 of them made me feel comfortable. Not 1 of them seemed to care about what was actually best for me. I never connected with any of them. I felt like my cancer was something they wanted to conquer, their way, but they did not listen to me at all! They blew off everything I said. The surgeon stated he didn’t know how my incision healed, that it shouldn’t have. I told him that I had used frankincense and Doterra ointment on it. He said, “well, I don’t know anything about any of that, but it shouldn’t have healed”. I believe God gave me them so I would run from them to find the path that did fit me! That path was made by who my parents raised me to be and has helped myself and my hubby become the people we have over the past 8 months, growing together with God. This is all part of OUR plan, that only God knows, we are just trying to follow the best we can. Please pray for us to be able to stay on this path, as satan is trying to pull us every direction but. That is our GREATEST request!!!

I am going to include financials. I have to because if God places someone in our path, that has the means to help us, it will only be to glorify God, because it will help us get to where we can run our business and nonprofit quicker, with less financial obstacles. We don’t expect to do this for free. We have accepted our “2nd mortgage” as a trial we will overcome and just a blip in the road, but again, if we don’t put things out there, that person(s) may not know or be able to help. Anything will help. The testing they have done here alone is $9,472. The oral X-ray was $370. My PETscan will cost $1200 and the port being put in will cost $1818. These are the out-of-pocket costs, because ChampVA pays the exact same amount. It is more of a headache for all involved to even try to run it, when we know the bill is just raised higher so the 30% we are required to cover ends up being the same as the “out of pocket” cost. It’s ridiculous! So, this is just the things to get my treatments started! The treatments themselves will cost $47081.73 for the 10weeks and if they decide I really need the low dose chemo, that costs $10-25k depending on how much is needed. They have also stated i may need some radiation, but I said those are last resorts, because I believe Jesus is already healing me and we won’t need those 2. We shall see! I will do what they tell me to do because this is the Dr I believe God lined up to help me heal!! Anyway, we want to be as transparent as possible. I don’t want anyone to think for a second that we are trying to “get rich” or anything! Lol I assure everyone, IF we were to get more than we needed, God will use that in His way, wether it is helping someone else, going back to those who helped us, or going towards our nonprofit. Also, what a horrible way to try to get rich lol! I don’t recommend it! Lol It will not be used for anything that is not pleasing to our Lord! It is sad that I feel this even needs to be said, but unfortunately, society nowadays has made it this way. Anyway, we LOVE you all and appreciate every single human who breathes a positive bit of energy my way. God has got this! I am not afraid!!! Nervous a lil, but I got my armor on so no one can harm me!!! YHWH is good all the time and all the time YHWH is good! ❤️🙏🏻
