Everything just got a little more real! We have our plane tickets, the rental car, and the hotel for before surgery booked. I can’t tell you how excited I am to have this hurdle behind me! With school starting now I know the time is going to FLY by!!
I got my 4th Lupron shot a week ago Monday. It was actually a busy day for me. I had my yearly physical in town, then labs, a visit with Dr Naqvi, and my Lupron shot in Eau Claire! Friday I had my yearly mammogram but just on the side without the expander. It was one year +1 day from my last one. I’m happy to say there are no signs of malignancy! My oncologist still wants me to get mammograms even after reconstruction because of the type of mastectomy I chose to do. I’m not sure when they will want to do one on the side that had cancer. The month after my last shot went so much better than the month before! Thank you so much for your prayers. We definitely serve a mighty God! I’m hoping this month goes just as well as the last one. Maybe then I can figure out what my normal will be like and I won’t feel so much like I’m on pins and needles with my emotions.
September 2nd marked one year since I got the call about the results of my biopsy. I knew that it would be hard, but I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I was definitely more withdrawn and it didn’t take too much to get me to tear up. However we spent the weekend at Family Camp, and that was a nice distraction! What a blessing it was to dig into God’s word and visit with others who have been praying for me and my family for the past year.
We celebrated Kaden’s birthday. The girls were in Iowa… 🙂
17 years later! 💗
Kaden got a job!! And it’s my job as a parent to embarrass him! 🤣🙂
Yearly mammogram. No cancer!!

A couple of my prayer warriors! ✝️ Their church has been praying for me the last year! 💗
Guess what!?! I have more hair than this guy again!! 🤣💗🙂
We started school today!! 📚✏️🍎
I’m so happy for you that the plan is coming together. It sounds like the past month wasn’t too bad, I will be praying that the trend continues. The one year milestone is a big deal, the video you made had me in tears. Hopefully you get over this next hurdle and can continue healing with no more set backs. It sounds like camp came at the perfect time, lots of family and people who love and support you through prayer. Great pictures, as always! Your hair is so cute and getting long! Have you had to cut it yet? It looks almost like you had it styled. Much love and many prayers.
Thank you! No cuts yet.. although I am working on getting one scheduled!
Cassie, you look so well and good as well. I am happy to see your hair growing in. Is it’s color, texture and thickness the same. I applaud you so much for homeschooling your full quiver. You will never regret it, nor will your children. These are some of the most exciting days of your family’s life. Jesus is glorified through the way you are training your children in the way they should go.
I’m so thankful for your healing. Now on to reconstruction. God is good.
Jesus bless you,
1Cor. 15:58
