Sorry guys for being MIA. My wife Deb was recently diagnosed with Stage 3b breast cancer. It's been a whirlwind of daily tests and doctor visits the last few weeks
Good news is that it has not metastasized and spread to other parts of her body but is localized to her breast and lymph nodes. She'll get 6 chemo treatments 21 days apart followed with surgery and radiation. This all takes about a year. Our hopes are high and she is in good spirits considering. I'm the big cry baby as she appears stronger than me. Her faith in God is strong and she loves her oncology team. They're top hat. Please pray for her that she beats this.

Sorry to hear that. But I believe that God will carry her through this. Keeping her in my prayers. I'm sure the others will do the same. She's blessed to have a husband who can shed some tears with her. I pray that she endures the Chemo better than they anticipate and that she comes through cancer free in the end. Be blessed my friend

So sorry to hear this Dan. I will put her our church prayer list and ask our pray team to pray for Deb also. Prayer is firing the winning shot in ANY battle. It is the strongest weapon that GOD has entrusted us with. Keep the faith my brother and stay strong for Deb.

Thanks guys, really appreciate your prayers, love, concerns and posts. A happy weekend ahead as we drive down to Austin to celebrate Christmas and a birthday with our kids/grandkids.

Sending up prayers for you and Deb now. Keep the faith, brother!

I know each case is different. But to give you some encouragement, I’ll share with you that just in the last year, I’ve had TWO sisters AND my Mother treated for breast cancer . Thus far they are all in remission. Several other family members and friends have been successfully treated through the years who were at various stages between stages who currently have survived anywhere between one and twenty plus years. One woman was at stage FOUR!
The common thread was that all had good medical treatment, people who loved them, and faith in the almighty God.
That’s a winning combination.
-
I hope it all works for you.

Thanks guys for your encouraging words. Deb feels like she's in good hands and has a strong faith in God. We'll get through this ok.
-
Praying for you and Deb.

Hi guys, been awhile since being here. Thought I'd update y'all on Deb's progress with her cancer treatment. She had her 5th chemo a few days ago and then has only one more to go. She's responding well to treatment and the cancerous tumor in her breast has shrunk considerably. She rebounds well after each treatment despite the brutal side effects of this treatment. After her 6th chemo she'll have surgery and then radiation treatment. She should be finished by early summer with all treatments. Her prognosis looks good so far for survival. She's upbeat and positive, eats an organic plant based diet and exercises. Deb also has a wonderful support system with family and friends and most of all, her relationship with God is strong and vital. All in all, a good report to share.
-
Thanks for the update, Dan.
Keeping you both in our prayers.

Thanks Tom, Paul and Boo. Haven't done any riding in awhile because of caring for my Debbie but that's ok. Spring weather in East Texas is picture perfect for riding now so perhaps I'll get the scooter out soon. Hope y'all doing ok.

The fight against cancer is going towards the patient more and more. Hope you and your wife the best, and a speedy recovery.
Stay strong and your support group can always be found here.

Lots of prayers going out to you and Deb for a complete recovery!

That's great news. So glad to hear this. Prayers for continued success.

Great news. Praying for a complete remission. Your wife’s course of treatment sounds similar to my youngest sister’s. — Chemo, surgery, then radiation. Thankfully, a little over a year after her last treatment, she’s cancer free. Praying for the same for your wife.
