Prayer Warriors...

 Prayer Warriors,

                I had a follow-up appointment with one of the surgeons a few days ago. While she said everything looked good for the most part, there was one spot on the other side of my tongue that she did not like the looks of (and it had been hurting me). She doesn't think that it's cancer, but since I have surprised the doctors before, they wanted to be absolutely sure and safe, so they did another biopsy. Please continue to keep me in your prayers. I pray that it's just still hurting from the original surgery and distorted as a result of that and not another cancer spot. 

Love you all💗

Today is the Day

 It’s about 1:30 am and of course I can’t sleep. Surgery begins in a few hours and is expected to last 12-14 hours. Still somewhat nervous but it’s nowhere near as nervous as I have been. I actually feel pretty calm for the most part. They ended up going ahead and admitting me around 7pm.  I probably will not be able to get back to anyone for a few, but I hope to see you all on the other side of this.  Love you all & thank you for the continued prayers for me & my family.  💗Amy   Isaiah 41:10 “ Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

Update 1/16/25

Hey y’all. First I would like to thank you all again for all of your prayers. I’ve said this many times before, but waiting to hear if your cancer has come back never gets any easier. In fact, I believe it gets harder every time.   They ended up just taking a biopsy of only the nodule in my chest (right above my collar bone). It breaks my heart again to share that it did come back as cancer. They are planning to do surgery in 2-3 weeks. In the meantime, they are going to also do an ultrasound of my thyroid nodule to see if there is concern and if a biopsy is needed there. As for the area in my tongue, they will likely take biopsies while I am under anesthesia for the surgery coming up. I don’t know why this keeps happening… I don’t know why it keeps coming back and spreading… but I have to believe that there is a greater reason for it. Please continue to pray. Love you all💗    Philippians 1:19:  “For I know that through your prayers  and God’s provision of the ...

Visit to MUSC

Image
We met the surgery team at MUSC for the first time yesterday. Still nothing concrete yet ; however, it's looking as though there will be another surgery to attempt clear margins, and also to maybe put in a muscle graft from another part of my body. This will require them to attach muscle vessels somewhere in my neck to get blood supply. Also, it is highly likely that I will have a trach for a while so that I can breathe properly. I may also have another feeding tube. The doctor indicates that those will hopefully be removed before discharge or shortly after. Again, this plan could change after review of my whole case. Right now, we are waiting on MRI results and also for the complete tumor board to review my case and come up with a final plan of action. Surgery will most likely not be for a few more weeks. This is going to be a long recovery...I may have to learn how to speak again, but their hope, as well as ours, is that the muscle they put in will help me be able to hopefully be...
