Are you ready to rumble!

And that is what this note is for. A call for those I love and those who care about me and my family.

This is a difficult time for us so please respect what I am about to share. Do not gossip nor casually comment. This is my life and I am fighting for it.

I have been able to overcome many obstacles in my life. Medical, physical and emotional hurdles were met with determination. Because of my relationship with Christ and the support of family and friends; I had strength to get through them all.

Now, I have been knocked flat on my back. I never saw this coming. Neither did the doctors. I had a CT scan for suspected kidney stones. What the doctors found was shocking and unexpected. I received the news yesterday afternoon. After several scans it has been confirmed I have a large pancreatic tumor. When I asked the nurse..... "Could this be cancer?" The nurse replied, "Yes ma'am, it could be".

This is the only news we have. I go to the specialist on Monday. Waiting during this time is extremely painful for myself and my family. I do know the outcome of pancreatic cancer. It isn't favorable. But I serve a God bigger than any test results to come or outcome of a medical condition.

The struggle is, this has left me emotionally drained. I am at a loss of how to respond. I love my husband and girls more than life itself. So I am going to fight! And this is where you come in. I need you to pray. I need you to be strong and stand with me in this fight. I need to be able to cry and be weak for a minute and know you are standing in strength for me.

We do not know exactly what we are dealing with. We will know more Monday. So until then please pray for us; that God will give peace to each of us and help me to stop crying. It is soon and this is a raw post. I am being open and honest.

I will post the results of Monday here on this blog.
