Update: April 21st, 2025

 I know it's been quite a while since my last update. It's been almost a month now since we lost our fur baby Harley. She was by my side and my best friend for almost 13 years. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. It's been a really tough time emotionally. As far as my treatments go, I'm still receiving treatments weekly in Charleston. The side effects are still rather rough, but not as bad as what I have gone through before with chemotherapy and radiation so far, so I am thankful for that. I have felt like I'm gaining a little energy back the last couple of weeks. Last week I was invited to a bible study where I met some wonderful people who didn't know me, but they surrounded me with love and prayed over me (shout-out to them! Picture below). This blessed my heart so much and I am so grateful for that group (and thankful for Deava and Isaac who invited me). That's what it's all about: people praying for people; people loving one another even if they don't know you: that's what being a brother & sister in Christ is about. Coming out of the Easter holiday weekend, I'd like to remind everyone of the true meaning of Easter: Jesus gave his life for our sins, hung nailed on a cross, was buried and AROSE again 3 days later. It just reminds me that anything is possible. We just have to have the faith and trust in God. He can perform miracles. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter & I 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...
