2 years agoOn October 12, 2022, I was diagnosed with an ultra-rare aggressive form of cancer. This cancer (Adrenocortical Carcinoma) affects 1 in 1 million people. It is extremely under-researched, and treatment options are scarce. My life fell apart, on this day. I couldn’t stop crying and fear consumed me. I wasn’t scared of dying, or fighting, (because if you KNOW me you know fighting is what I do) but the fear of leaving my boys was more than I could bear and so much deeper than I can articulate with words. For months, I couldn’t look at them without completely breaking down. How would I brave this storm and be strong for them? How would I ever get back to the present without constant fear of the future? Where would my boys go live TOGETHER if I was no longer here? How would their hearts go on without me? Why would GOD, who loves these precious boys so much take their Mommy away?
I’ve never been so desperate for God in my entire life. Day by day my fear began to turn into faith, and that faith gave me HOPE. And while this is still the HARDEST thing I’ll ever have to do, I know that my God has me in the palm of his hands, and he is with me.
So, as I battle this one out, I ask that you HELP SUPPORT ME IN THE FIGHT. If 1 million people could give 1 dollar, we could raise $1 MILLION DOLLARS towards the much-needed research for better treatment options, or even a cure for Adrenocortical Carcinoma. Orphan cancers are scary because, like a little orphan child, no one really cares about them. But the 1 in 1 million are someone’s mother, someone’s daughter, and like my beautiful boys would tell you, someone’s EVERYTHING.
I have Hope, that in the course of my journey, there will be breakthroughs in advancements for ACC. I believe wholeheartedly, that by God’s power, I will be HEALED of this “incurable” cancer. Because of my faith, I have Hope. Hope gives us strength, and strength overcomes fear.
