National Cancer Survivors Day!

Written on Sunday, May 7th @ 7:15am

I thought this morning would be a perfect day to update our fighter since it is National Cancer Survivors Day.

First time with just them three together in months. Are they discussing Courtney’s wedding?

Well, we had miracle this last Tuesday afternoon. Crystal and Gage had headed back to Rochester for more tests and to meet with the surgeons. And we can say that Crystal has lived with this cancer long enough for some new technology. A new ultrasound machine that can see even more…It is 3-D. And guess what! They can’t find anything in her liver! Amazing news since two weeks ago they questioned one in her liver.

As for her lungs they have agreed to let them grow a little more…So surgery will be on hold till September. So for now, we embrace this good news. For now, we enjoy our summer.

I thank you all for following Crystals journey since March of 2013. I believe that sharing her story, asking for prayers, finding the good in this life’s journey is one of the reasons she has a positive attitude and is still here today. I thank you again for your prayers, stories and messages that you have shared with us. In return it has given us peace when I think we would normally be full of anxiety. I believe this is the first time since 2013 that it took me awhile to update knowing we had another appointment in there with possible surgeries coming up. I’m sorry for not responding to some of your messages, I will admit this has been a rough few weeks for all of us. Cancer, virus, life, being a mother, marriage, getting older, not knowing what to do next, is exhausting.

I hope you find your own peace during this time in our world. And make sure you celebrate today’s holiday.
