So blessed to say we had another good report and everything with my cancer has remained stable since last visit. Follow ups are being extended to 4 months instead of 3. Thank you all so much for the prayers. He is so good to us!!!💗🫁

3 months has come and gone again and my scans are later this week. I will get my results next week. God has been good to us. I am grateful for everyday!! Please continue to pray for my complete healing. 💗🫁

Beginning the new year with continued praise to God’s many blessings and faithfulness! My scans showed I had more improvement around my lung, and the areas on my liver and spine are still stable! Thank you Lord for the breath you give and the opportunities of each day!! Happy new year!! 💗🫁

As the year 2025 ends, I find myself reflecting on all the blessings we have experienced this year. This year has been a tough one learning what it truly means to wake up and smile and actually experience love, joy, excitement, and even developing a positive outlook on the FUTURE, despite cancer. I recall hearing throughout my life “the peace that surpasses all understanding”. I never understood that. Thank you Jesus, that despite this terrible diagnosis, you still bless me, and continue to give me some type of peace. How amazing are your works.

My next scans are a few days after Christmas. Please pray for continued healing throughout me and good reports. 💗🫁

I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas❤️

CANCER UPDATE. My scans from last week look good! The spots on my liver are “not well distinguishable” meaning you can’t really even see them anymore because they have shrank so much! 🥹 The last measurement we read on these was a little under 50%! There was also a little shrinkage in my spine!! Just want to recall for everyone that per my PET scan in June, none of this tissue is active. That is the goal with my medication. But how amazing when I have a CT to read that the measurements of the spots are still shrinking!! Thank you all for your continued prayers!! God has been to good to us!!! 🫁💗

It’s been about 3 months since my last scan which means next scans are in a few days. In June we heard some of the most amazing news- no active cancer cells shown on my PET. Doing these scans every 3 months can really dig into my faith. In June, right after that PET, life felt a little lighter. It felt so easy to say THANK YOU JESUS. It was all I could stand to not scream to everyone what He has done for me. How He has given me another year. Some days, like now, just before a scan, things are different. Not dark, not necessarily heavy, but not light. I am counting down the seconds until my appointment. I am quieter. More aware. I am listening, saying out loud “ok God, I am listening, what can I do”. And every 3 months I remind myself my faith is the best thing I can do. I know I have this wonderful medication. I also know I have this amazing God. He has handled it. He IS handling it. When I hear “it is stable”, “it’s improving”, “this is a negative PET scan”, I am reminded of that. Thanking Him for His grace on those days when my faith isn’t as big as other days.

Please send prayers for continued healing throughout me💗🫁

One year since diagnosis. A year since my life changed. A year since my family’s life changed. A year of new limitations. A year of a new perspective on life. A year with hours spent on the phone learning what insurance will and will not do. A year having hard conversations way too often. A year building faith. The day is heavy, but I remember a time when we didn’t know if a year was possible. Thank you, Lord. I will celebrate life today. 🫁💗

Update: after reviewing my ultrasound it was determined that the spot near my o***y is an enlarged/possibly hemorrhagic cyst. I have not had any symptoms, and cysts are common in my family. Therefore, there is no big cause for concern at this time. I am going to watch closely for symptoms/changes and we will repeat the ultrasound in 6-8 weeks to see if it’s resolved or if action should be taken. I am praying that this resolves with no issues and I am SO SO thankful to our God for His goodness in this answered prayer. I know He hears our prayers.💗🫁

Praise report from scans!! For the previous spots my cancer was present-there is virtually none present now. Even the ones on my spine. Praise GOD. To be noted, PET scans pick up lesions if they are of a certain size or greater, which means they could still be there, but not picked up by the scan and either way are still smaller. That’s doesn’t mean I’m “cured” or in “remission”. I will always be a person living with cancer-per the medicine world. If I were to stop my pills the cancer would likely regrow. I will take these pills for the rest of my days to hopefully maintain this outcome.

However, there was a spot near my o***y that came up. They think it is a benign cyst and unrelated to my cancer. Hopefully that is the case. I will have an ultrasound next week. Please, please pray heavily for this to be just a benign cyst. Our God is so good and faithful. I am so so blessed to have had all these other spots be virtually gone in JESUS name and I pray it remains that way. I will speak the same over this spot near my o***y. 🫁💗

Please send up some prayers for me as I have my next scan later this week. Living with cancer is something I never imagined. It helps me to talk about it, or cry, or laugh, or all- depends on the day. 🫁💗

Praise report from scans!! My scan today showed some improvement in my lung and a decrease in the fluid around it! The other spots on my liver and spine are stable. Dr. V said she has other patients on this med (this med is fairly new 2018 ish is when it came out but is the number one recommended for my type of cancer). These other two patients have been on it for 4-5 years and are maintaining stable! I am trying to take every day as a blessing and a win so I will take it. I know God heard all of our prayers of healing and He will continue to do so. Thank you all!! I will have another scan in 3 months! We will do a PET instead of CT since it will have been a year (gasp) since my diagnosis.

I DO want to share that lately I have been feeling good!! I’ve gotten the comment from several friends and family that I look like I feel better. I think lately I’ve just been feeling positive about the outcome of this journey and the fact that I am approaching graduation! School is keeping me BUSY but I am loving every day I get to show up and put in the work. 40 days from taking my final! (Side note I told Dr. V she has to take the day off for me when I get pinned😅)

I have found some additional faith and prayers in the ladies in my small group. I shared my story with them on Tuesday, and how sometimes I just wake up and think “you know this just isn’t my problem it’s God’s problem.”

This morning I got in the car and heard a worship song I never had before, called “Battle Belongs” by Phil Wickham. The lyrics in this song say almost that exactly! Sometimes God just has a way of settling our hearts. Thank you Jesus.

Thank you all again for the continued support and prayers. 🫁🩷
