NOT Going To Give Up

Judy's Website Devoted to Stage Four Breast Cancer


 

My name is Judy.  I live in Independence, MO and have a wonderful, loving husband - Tom - and three equally wonderful and loving children - Tommy, Stephen and Marianne.

My husband and I were told on August 31, 2007 by my Oncologist that I have just a few months to live because I am in stage four of breast cancer that has spread to my back and abdomen.  With chemotherapy, they say they can extend my life by a few years. 

My family and I absolutely REFUSE to accept this and I will be going to Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, Illinois with the hopes that they can turn this "death sentence" into something else by treating me with both standard and holistic protocols.

More info on this will be in the Cancer Update Forum, so if you want updates as to how I am doing.... please visit and subscribe to the Progression Of Events... section by clicking on the NOTIFY button.  This will send you an email when I make a new post.  It will also save me time by updating everyone at once as opposed to answering several different emails from those of you who are concerned about me! : )

I decided to build this website for several reasons - one is to chronicle my battle with breast cancer, two is to show my family and friends that I mean BUSINESS on trying to do what I can in order to battle this cancer and three is to hopefully help and encourage others that are going through what I am going through.

I want to thank all of you for your love, prayers, positive thoughts, gifts, cards and mostly for just "being there" for us! 

Our abounding love and thanks goes out to our immediate family for all their love and support during this trying time.

Thanks to our "second family" - the people at Kimak's Pest Control where Tom works - we feel truly blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family! 

Another special thanks goes out to my clients - VFW Post 5789 and the Crystal View Estates Board members for their support, patience and understanding!

Ok... I am starting to feel like I just won an Emmy or something so I will stop here and wipe the tears off my face and move on!
