DIAGNOSIS

I am an amateur writer so please bear with my writing capabilities, I strongly believe that I am being called to share my story and updates of what’s going on in my life and with my relationship w/ Christ.
On October 14, 2016 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. For those of you who didn’t know I apologize for not telling you my self. It’s been very difficult for us to swallow and thank God we are passed the shock phase. It took us a while to wrap our heads around it. It was a challenge telling my family, telling my friends and co-workers because it broke my heart to see their pain for me.
I’m grateful for my family especially my husband Kevin who’s been my rock and my big source of strength next to God. My mom has been a great help around the house. My in-laws and my brother-in-law, sister-in-law whose been fasting and praying for me. My dear friend’s who has guaranteed me help when I need it and just talking to me and praying with me throughout this new season. I have a wonderful workplace and great co-workers/sisters who are very supportive and loving. Wow, I just realized how many people- brothers & sisters God blessed me with.
I created this page to give updates and also in hope that this will encourage someone and let them know that God is good all the time, even in the midst of the “what in the worlds” and “why me’s”.
I also want to ask for prayers for me and my family, I don’t deny that this has been a very difficult experience and it’s still happening so I ask my brothers and sisters to lift me and my family up in prayer.
I will be sharing FAQs and “The hand of God” moments on a later post. Feel free to post bible verses and prayers on this page.
I love you all. I encourage you today that whatever mountain you are facing to fix your eyes on God. Let go and let God.

1/27/17 Update We went back to Boston yesterday to find out the next step on my treatments. I saw it coming but it is still surreal to learn that I will need to start chemo asap. My cancer started as Non-small lung cancer with a cell mutation, but through my recent biopsy I've developed a "small cell" cancer that will not respond to Tarceva which is the pill that I currently take as an oral chemo. Long story short, we will tackle the cancer the old fashion chemotherapy way. They will give me a very aggressive dose and it can take up to 6 rounds. Per round is 3 consecutive days, every 3 weeks of getting IV infusion of 2 different medicines. The Oncologists are positive that I can handle it because I'm still young, I'm strong and I'm positive. We're discouraged obviously but I kept telling Kevin that we were blessed that we didn't go through this 15 months ago when I was dealing with the loss if my grandfather, my dad being sick, and dealing

TREATMENTS? WHAT'S NEXT? HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH THIS?

God never ceases to amaze me, I can't deny how my humanly instincts and views are so vague and compacted in a small box so it is very easy to get overwhelmed. But His ways and thoughts are higher than mine. We are still waiting on some tests to come back before I start medications/treatments. It's hard for me to explain but God has been with me the whole process. In this state where I am vulnerable, God's mercy and grace are so visible and tangible. Although I may think how and why bad things kept happening to me and my family, I see His hand guiding me. From my grandfather's passing away which tore a big piece of my heart, to Kevin's challenges at work a couple weeks ago and just the challenges of our daily lives. It makes me want to pull my hair sometimes and scream "WHY?!!!!" But God reminds me that He is a provider. If I found out about my cancer when my grandpa was still around it would've been very difficult for me to handle because I'
