For the past few months, many of you have probably noticed that I've been quieter than usual. I've wanted to share what's been going on, but I needed time to process everything before I was ready to put it into words.
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer. Since then, my life has been filled with appointments, biopsies, MRIs, CT scans, PET scans, ultrasounds, blood work, and waiting for answers.
Over the past several weeks, my doctors have confirmed that the cancer is Stage IV. It has been found in both breasts and has spread to multiple lymph node regions. There are still a few areas that need additional imaging, and my medical team is continuing to build the best treatment plan for me.
This has been one of the hardest seasons of my life. My first thoughts have always been about my family and my children. There have been many tears, many difficult conversations, and many moments of fear. But there have also been incredible moments where I've felt God's peace carrying me through days I didn't think I could face.
I'm sharing this now because I don't want people hearing bits and pieces or wondering what's going on. I also know I can't walk this road alone.
If you pray, I would be so grateful for your prayers—for wisdom for my doctors, for strength during treatment, for peace for our family, and most of all, for healing. I believe God is still able to do miracles, and I also believe He walks with us through every trial.
I don't know exactly what the road ahead looks like, but I do know that I don't have to walk it alone. We have already been surrounded by so much love, encouragement, generosity and kindness, and I can't thank you enough for that.
I'll share updates as I'm able. Thank you for loving our family, for praying for us, and for standing with us during this fight.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18 ❤️
