Can you imagine what you would feel like when you learn your routine mammogram had led to a repeat mammogram, a biopsy a few days later and then a diagnosis no one ever wants. Of all times, this is the news Jeanie received 2 weeks prior to her son Tyler’s wedding. So many appointments, so much information. Surgeon, Oncologist, Radiation provider, genetic testing and then surgery. Then a second surgery 2 weeks later because of the pathology report. And it’s not over. Radiation is next, and at a minimum, taking an oral chemo drug daily for the next 5 years. How quickly life can change, all while still trying to work and care for her family, including moving her daughter, Ellie, off to her first year of college and starting a new school year, where she pours love and encouragement into all of the students. Cancer isn’t just physically draining, but also emotionally. It’s all the unknowns, the plan that keeps changing, the uncertainty. If you know Jeanie, you know that asking for help is one of the last things she would ever do. She is the person who is always there for everyone else—the one who gives, encourages, loves, and somehow finds a way to bring light to everyone around her. So she was not happy when I suggested this page. But right now, Jeanie needs us, and because I love her, like you all do, I want to do whatever I can to help in any way possible. She is walking through an incredibly difficult and stressful season as she fights breast cancer and focuses on her treatment, healing, and recovery. Her faith is strong, her determination is unwavering, and she is fighting this with everything she has. While her focus should be on getting well, the reality is that cancer brings so many unexpected financial stresses along with it. Helping with expenses and medical bills can take one more worry off her shoulders and give her the freedom to focus on what matters most—fighting and getting better. This is why I am asking those who love Jeanie to come alongside her during this difficult time. Gift cards to local grocery stores, Visa gift cards, or gas cards would be an incredible blessing and would help ease some of the financial burden. If you are able to give, please know that every gift is a blessing. Whether you can give or not, please keep Jeanie in your prayers, send her encouragement, or simply remind her how loved she is. That means more than anything. Jeanie, you are so deeply loved. We are behind you, beside you, and praying for you every step of the way. ❤️🙏 As a reminder ladies, PLEASE be sure to schedule your annual mammograms!
