What Cancer CANNOT do.....

Cancer is so limited....
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot conquer the Spirit.

Locks Of Love

I want to post this before we get further into the treatment. When Jodi's Niece Katie found out she would be having treatment that will cause her hair to fall out. She started talking about Lock Of Love. Realizing this is for children, Katie said, "Mom, I know Aunt Jodi probably won't get my hair, but there is a tiny tiny chance she will, I want to cut off my hair for her" Wow. Here are a few of the Pictures we took While McKensie Cut Katie's beautiful auburn hair.

McKensie Came over late on Saturday night. Jodi came early on Sunday morning, and Katie surprised her when she came walking up the stairs carrying her braid. It was kind of emotional.
Here is Jodi and Lia with Katie and Tyson Clark (Lacie's Kids)

Tylia and Jodi - Best Friends Forever.

My Girl

Jodi,
You are like a daughter to me. You are my girl. I love you so much and I am so sad for what you are going through. Please be strong and fight this terrible cancer with everything you've got. Not only for yourself but for Tylia and for your family. It can be beat and I know you can do it. I will be there for you for whatever you need. I am a phone call away. Papa and I are praying for you.
Momma Nina

Wishing you Well!

The only word from Jodi today is she is SICK SICK SICK!!! She has been throwing up all day and is in a lot of pain. Keep her in your prayers.

And, don't forget her little family also. Tom and Lia and struggling right along with her.

Pink Bracelets

Today I ordered 200 Hot Pink silicone Bracelets. On one side is the Breast Cancer Ribbon and the words: March to Victory. On the other side is: Jodi March. We will be selling these for $5.00 to help make up for loss wages that Jodi is missing. We will sell them at the yard sale as well as the Cornfest. If you would like to sell some for us, please let me know. 705-4520. Thank you for your love and support for our Jodi. We love her so much.

To Wig or Not to Wig

Jodi was headed to pick out a wig today. The Dr. told her to expect to be bald and beautiful by the 12th of August.

One suggestion I got from a friends was go to a Halloween store and pick out whatever you want. Maybe pink today, maybe brown, or even blue...... Curly, Straight, Short, Long......... Well, at least have fun, right!!!

Love Ya Jodi and can't wait to see what you have picked out!!!

Virtual Daisies!!

These are for you Jodi! I love you and wish you the very best today. Chemotherapy can take a hard one from your awesome pink boots!!!

Appointments, Appointments, and More Appointments

Today Jodi had 4 different appointments. The first being a full body scan to see how advanced the Cancer is and to make sure there is no further cancer cells attached elsewhere in her body. That test came back with the best results expected.

Jodi was labeled as having Stage 3A Breast Cancer.

The second appointment was with the oncologist to discuss treatment options. The 3rd was with a plastic surgeon, and the 4th with her Cancer Doctor to schedule treatments and surgery.

The outcome: She will begin a round of Chemotherapy before surgery to hopefully kill off floating cancer cells and shrink the lumps in her breast. Then, she will have surgery and continue with Chemotherapy for at least a year.

Next Step: 1st Chemotherapy treatment on Tuesday the 3rd of August

Family Fast

Thanks to all who participated in our family fast or special diet. Pulling together as a united family in Christ is going to help all of us through this. The Lord has blessed our family so much and will continue to do so as we serve each other and support Jodi.
