Hello everyone,
I want to take a moment to thank all of you who stood by me during one of the most difficult chapters of my life.
Back in November of last year, following a 21-day hospital stay (𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝘅 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗖𝗨), my family and I found out that I have a tumor called a 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗮 at the base of my brain. At first, I was completely overwhelmed and scared, not knowing what the future held. But through your prayers, messages, and unwavering help, you gave me hope and made me feel stronger every single day.
After months of worry, I am so incredibly grateful to share some wonderful news: 𝗠𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱! While the tumor is still there, it is no longer the threat it once was. My recent MRI showed that the tumor has remained the exact same size. While that might sound concerning at first, my neurosurgeon explained that this means the 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, and there is currently 𝗻𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆.
I feel an overwhelming sense of relief. Something that used to feel impossibly heavy now feels like hope.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank God for answering my prayers. I also want to thank all of you for your donations, for purchasing a shirt, and for your heartfelt messages. 𝗜 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹—𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁! To my family, thank you for your never-ending support; you helped me when I needed it most. I will never forget your kindness.
Please keep me in your prayers as I move forward with hope and faith.
𝙎𝙖 𝘼𝙢𝙖 𝙇𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙖𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙝𝙖𝙣! ✨
With love and gratitude,
𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗲 𝗗. 𝗜𝗯𝗮𝗻̃𝗲𝘇 😘
