I got married in March of 2023 and since then my world changed. I got to be a wife to my amazing husband, a mom to my 2 beautiful kids, and start creating a new life together #travispartyof4 ❤️ Within 2 months my world started changing in a way I didn't expect - not any of us - and in hindsight is what will have helped build the strength for now What is to come. My uncle was diagnosed with brain cancer and one month later my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. Fast forward 15 months through managing their treatment plans along their side and taking care of my grandparents- I lost my mom -Then my grandfather suddenly too. I added private caregiver in home manager to my resume as I continued to care for my grandma and uncle. As their needs changed so did the heavy decisions of this stage of life - landing them in the best local memory care unit around! None of these life circumstances were without challenges - but with support from my steadfast husband, family and friends, it was all possible to move through. At a time where we thought we might see an end in sight, a breath of fresh air - we got more news. My husband is diagnosed with liver disease - but with diet and exercise and healthy life choices hes on a road to long life! If you've made it this far into the nooks and crannies of our life - youll remember I said all of this built me for the strength Ill need next. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Late August this year. It has been a tough month sitting with the knowledge and gathering the intel to fight this. Treatment will be aggressive the doctor says - especially learning im BRCA2 positive. So what now - this is where the last 2 years of my life have trained me on what to expect, created a team of providers who already know me, and gave me the gut wrenching strength to grow through another challenge in life. Each up and down has taught me a new way to look, listen, communicate, live and love. I know I will grow through this, learn through this and fight through this. This is where YOU come in. I cant do it alone. I have a Terrible record of asking for and even accepting help. This is a testament to learning vulnerability and acceptance and strength in faith. This is the beginning of a long journey- and I need my entire village in my corner. Each and every one of you give me strength, courage, love and support in different ways and that's why when we all work together Miracles Happen! ❤️ My husband, children and I need support across several areas of life - meals, shopping, kids school drop off and pick up and extra curricular activities, cleaning, rides to appointments, checking on and visiting with my uncle and grandma, spending quality time with my kids and giving my husband much needed breaks, and helping me stay sane through the physical and mental challenges to come. I have surgery 9.23 followed by recovery, chemotherapy, radiation likely, hormone medication, and breast reconstruction. If we start strong and stay strong then the only thing we can do is WIN!
