Insurance...it is a great thing when they will cover everything that needs to be covered. I found with some of the things I needed covered in Ohio one of my insurances would not cover. However it would cover it if I have it done in Indiana. We'll I have been going to physical therapy for my neuropathy and both of my insurances have been covering that. I found out through the MRI that I had last Friday that I have tendinitis in my right shoulder. Thank God there is no tumor, torn tendon or broken born. However I have to do 2 months of physical therapy on that. Here is where things get messy. My insurances will not cover both of the physical therapies if they are on the same day. Example....I had shoulder scheduled this morning, that I went to, and neuropathy scheduled this afternoon. Five hours apart. I received a phone call to cancel the Neuropathy one because my insurances would not cover the second one. So here are my options...I can either call the insurance companies and fight with them to get both covered on the same day...or call and reschedule the shoulder. I think I may just try to reschedule the shoulder. I think I will still have to call the insurances though. I do not want to have to choose on if I can continue walking or if I can continue to use my right shoulder without pain. I don't like the pain and I don't like it when I can not feel my feet. So pray that I can get this figured out.

November...Turkey month...Thanksgiving...it is also lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer awareness month. It is also a month to honor the caregivers. Those who have been there to hold the hand of those fighting. Those who were there for fighters until the end. Those who are there for those surviving. You have heard me talk about my mom. Janet Kittle is a caregiver who was there for her parents and brother who lost their fights. She has also been there for me and still is. David Goeltzenleuchter who is also my caregiver. Shelly Cook had all of her sisters( Penny Cook , Vickie Cook , and Amy Beard ) They were there for her along with her mother. Angela Van D**e has her mother, Eulala VanD**e and a friend of hers who have been there for her. Timothy Gearig was the caregiver for his wife. I am sure there are many more on here who are caregivers on here. I want to give a special shout out to all of you. Being there for someone who is fighting is not an easy job. It takes someone special to be able to be there until the end for someone. Someone to be there during the bad days and the good days. Someone to hold their hand. Someone to get them to their appointments. Someone who will tell them that it is ok and that you got this. THANK YOU CAREGIVERS!!

So this will be the last of this little series...
My largest supporter would also be my caregiver. My husband, David Goeltzenleuchter , has been there for me. This all started on our 35th wedding anniversary trip. We left on June 25, 2025 to go on our trip and was not supposed to be back until July 6th. Our plans were to go to Niagara Falls, Salem Massachusetts, Plymouth rock, and Ellis Island. We made it to Niagara Falls and Salem Massachusetts when we both got sick. Therefore we cut our vacation short and we're back home by July 1. When I went to the ER on July 12, he was the first person I called. He came in and sat with me until they got me a room. The next morning when they told me I needed a blood transfusion he discussed it with me before I signed the paperwork to get it. I was scared and he was there for me. He knew by looking at me when I got the news about my cancer. He held me while I cried. He is a lot like my dad and doesn't show his feelings too much in public. As much as he hates hospitals he was there when they first did the biopsies and when they did the major surgery. He has also been there when I had my port put in and my last colonoscopy. He takes me to most of my appointments as long as he doesn't have to work. He has even gotten up with me when my feet hurt and rubs lotion into them for me. The day my hair was really falling out I was in tears. I came out of the bathroom with tears in my eyes and he shaved the rest off for me. Afterwards he held me while I cried. I know he worries about me. He is a great man who is caring and I know he loves me. I love him too.

Supporters come in all sizes and shapes. Not only family who are related to you, but also church family and work family and friends who have become like family. I have shout outs for some special people from all of these areas. Friends who have become like family... Heather Jones-Garcia has checked in with me and even taken me to one of my chemo treatments. I know it was a long day but she was wonderful. Heather Moore called me up and offered to come sit with me if I needed her and I really appreciate that. Kelly L. Stull checking in with me when she saw me. Chrys Montgomery also checking in with me when she saw me. Edward Truman for talking to me and boosting my spirits when I am feeling down. Angela Van D**e has been very supportive even with her battles. We have met for breakfast a couple of times and had a great time. Hope to do it again soon.
Work family...everyone at my job stopping me to check up on me when I went in to shop. Especially Vicki Barrientes Palmerton , Jacqueline Deming , Kerri Kuhn , and Sue who always ask if I was coming back to work when I went into remission.
My church family...everyone there have been wonderful. The prayers and the love that is shown has been great. One major shout out i have from my church family is a young man that that has been very supportive. He is actually the one who talked me into starting this page. Matt Heising has been there even through the miles. He has taken the time to talk to me and support me through my struggles.
To all my friends and family I appreciate everyone.

More on my supporters. I have 4 children and 8 grandchildren.
Brittany Gsixteen and her boys...Brittany took it hard when I told her. She has gone to a couple of my appointments. She calls me every day to see how I am doing. Her boys...Alec, we don't see much of him, I did let his other grandma know. She said they would pray for me. Maxwell, he has been wonderful. He doesn't ask much but he knows when I am around to be careful of my feet and to slow down when we are walking. Kallen, he is one of the youngest so he doesn't understand much of what I am going through. However when I had lost my hair he did not like it when I wore my hats and scarves. He would scowl at me until I removed my head covering. Then I would get the biggest smiles from him.
Brandan ( DCore G-onesix ) and his children... Brandan worries about me. He has taken me to some of my appointments. (Good thing there is a park nearby) He has helped by making meals and cleaning when he can. Janice, oh my, she has her good days and bad. Right after my surgery she made sure I had a path to walk through, many times their toys were in the way. She also helped me by opening doors and closing them when I needed her to. There are times that she still helps me when I need help. Xavier, he is my cuddle bug. When I lost my hair he would take my head wear off and rub my head. The day my hair was noticeable he took my hat off and clear as day said "mama has hair" He calls most females mama. That was the day I stopped wearing hats. Ever since I have had my port he will check to make sure that it is still there and not hurting me. This week he has started getting my lotion and putting it on my feet.
Bradley, he spoils me. When he found out he asked what he can do for me. He has taken me to some appointments. He and Brittany went in together and bought me a new chair. When the neuropathy hit in my feet he bought me a beautiful hand carved cane. He has also taken time out and helped me start to get my house under control.
Breanna Smith and her family... when she found out she cried. She said when I lost my hair she would cut hers and have a wig made out of it for me. I told her no. I had already decided that I was not getting a wig. She was upset that she lives so far away and couldn't be here for me. I told her that there really isn't much she could do for me but pray. She would call me every so often to see how I was doing. In March I found out that I am in remission. We went to visit them as they live a few states away. Serenity, Clayton, and Ezekiel don't really understand what I have been through because they haven't been here to see. When Breanna and I would video chat they got to see me. Our visit was great. Her husband, Jake, has also been praying for me.
One goal I set for myself was to beat cancer because I have 8 grandchildren to watch grow up. I am in remission and pray to stay in remission. Now if I can get over this Neuropathy everything will be great.

Update on Angela Van D**e . She has been in rehab in Toledo. She contacted me and said she is headed home. She has lost movements on her left side. I did ask about stroke and she said no. The doctors are still trying to find out what happened to cause these problems. Her spirits are high. She is happy to be going home.
Let's keep lifting her up in prayer. She still has a fight ahead of her.

There are some who will be supportive who can not do a lot for you. My in-laws, mother in law and sisters in laws are there when I need to just talk. My mother in law has gone with me to some of my appointments. I know when I found out about my cancers they were all worried about me. They would contact me either through Facebook or give me a call.
My brother is another one with his wife who are there when I need to talk.
I am bringing them up because them just being there is a form of support. Some support can be huge and other can be just knowing that they are there even if it is just to check in talk for a bit.

My sister...a little over a year before I found out about my cancers she finally got a diagnosis for her medical problems. I have been there for her, to help where I could. When we found out about my cancers she had a lot of questions. All I could do is hand her the book that my navigation teams had given me. I also told her what I was told. She still had a lot of questions. Even after showing her the information I had at that time she looked at me and said..."You have been there for me, now let me be there for you." That is something I have had a hard time with. Letting people be there for me. She went to a few of my appointments with me. When I saw one of my many doctors she asked questions. I don't know if she got the answers she wanted to hear but the doctor did answer them. One thing she wanted to know is if I wanted to do something with my hair before it all fell out. I never really thought about it at that time. Later I decided to do a TikTok challenge. So we got with a hair stylist and come up with different things...like short/long, color/no color, bangs/no bangs, etc. I then closed my eyes and she held up the cards and I chose one. It was fun. I got my hair done and had fun time with Jodi McAfee . Tonight she went with me to a dinner for the Victory Center and we had fun. We do what we need to by supporting each other.
