What a rollercoaster 🎢

Good news, the biopsy was benign 😁

Still gotta go have a scope on my vocal chords next week for the throat doc 🙏🏻

Good morning Facebook family and friends. I met with the surgeon and I will not be needing surgery on my right breast. We are scheduling my left breast surgery and will also need to have surgery on both of my legs as the valves are not working properly in the veins. The breast surgery will be done at the hospital the vein surgery will be done at the clinic. All in all, we caught things are early and we're getting them taken care of.

Breast surgery is May 1st at 10am. I have to move out of my home 10 days after that. I am still looking for a 1 bedroom to rent hopefully near the river or the ocean. As the ocean is part of my healing. I am now thinking I will need to be closer to the $800 range. Please message me if you know someone or someplace for me to try.

Once I am settled in, I will focus back on this auction. God has a plan for me. He wouldn't let me fight this hard without a great triumph.

Update on my health and the auction.

I have another biopsy scheduled for tomorrow. I will meet with Dr Imami, my surgeon, and get the results the following week. Then I will have an idea of exactly what surgeries I am in for. I am frustrated that I was not able to do this in the time frame that I wanted originally. I had not planned for multiple biopsies and surgeries. Kind of snuck up on me. Please don't lose faith in me. I will have this auction and will help fund research to CURE essential thrombocytosis. MORE WILL BE REVEALED

I have met with the breast surgeon and have to have more tests before my surgery as we found more issues on the MRI. Because of this, I still do not have a date yet for the auction but I'm trying to stay positive and focus on creating. Thank you all for believing in me and following this auction! My jewelry is what is helping me. Please share this post and buy some jewelry if you can. With a little help I will get through this and work on the auction to raise awareness and fund research for young patients with essential thrombocythemia.

Hello Facebook family and friends. I got my MRI completed today. I will meet with the surgeons next Monday. I will have a better idea at that point when my surgery will be and how long recovery process will take. Once I have a clear picture on the time frame I will be able to set a new date for this auction. I will not give up! Thank you all for believing in me and my dream to alter the treatment processes for this rare cancer.

Good morning Facebook friends and family. After much contemplation I have decided that I need to postpone the auction while I deal with my breast cancer surgery. God apparently had different plans for me this month. I will have my MRI in a few days and we'll have a much clearer picture, literally and figuratively :-)

I will choose a new date and update everyone once I have a new plan of attack. I hope I am not letting anyone down with this postponement. I am not giving up. I just have to bite off just as much as I can chew right now. :-)

Good morning friends and family. I am still working on putting things together for this auction. I had a brief pause there while I was dealing with another health issue. I am back and ready for action. I have met with stem cell doctors and I'm working with a bio company regarding cell matching. I am a fighter and will not give up. There is nothing our God can put in front of us that we can't handle. Sometimes God wants us to reach out for help and this is my time to ask.

I am trying my hardest to maintain my doctor's appointments and also organized this auction. If anyone knows a auction or event production company that would be willing to jump in, I would be forever grateful.
