Supporting Amy

In June of 2025, Amy had an emergercy medical situation which required two surguries and spent 48 days in the hopspital. During this time, she continued working from her hospital bed as she has always been the support for all 4 of her children. Finally, in July, she started getting answers. Amy was diagnosed with neuroendrocrine cancer. She made her way to Seattle where a team of doctors, including her multiple sclerosis doctor, began reviewing Amy's medical records. She began treatment right away. Unfortunately, Amy was not making progress as the doctor's would have hoped. In early 2026, her team of doctors ordered imaging and more tests. Amy recieved a call letting her know they had found a mass in one of her breasts. Biopsies were conducted, one after another, the cancer research clinic conducted multiple tests, and finally concluded that Amy has one of the rarest forms of breast cancer tumors. Not only is this this type of tumor in less than 1% of breast tumors, it also does not respond to chemotherapy like other forms of cancer. After several attempts to remove the tumor, the doctors found there were no clean margins meaning Amy would need her entire breast removed. And to make matters worse, this type of cancer is likely to spread to the other breast. After sitting down with her cancer team, having a double masectomy was provided as the best option for survival. With the imaging that has been conducted, her surgeon is also concerned the cancer is in her soft issues in her ribs meaning she may have to have more taken out than just her breasts. They will not know until the surgery on August 6th. The recovery will not be easy. Amy will have help from many who love her; however, we are trying to make certain aspects of her life and her children's lives are a tiny bit easier during her recovery. We are asking for people to provide meals for her and her children, who will be there helping at different times throughout her recovery. Any support is greatly appreciated.
