To all those who know and love Sydni. Friends, extended family, and acquaintances who’ve seen her story and supported her journey along the way.

Today around 2:30pm Our Heavenly Father called her home.✨ She passed surrounded by loved ones and with all our prayers guiding her path. She was a beacon of light for all who knew her; truly an angel here on Earth. And if you’ve had the magical opportunity of meeting her, you’d agree too. It brings us peace knowing she is with the Lord and no longer suffering.

At this time, we ask for love, prayers, and patience as we navigate this uncharted territory, as Sydni was our glue and pillar of strength..

There will be a service in celebration of her life well lived - to be announced at a later date.

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Psalms 73:26

For now, in the words of Sydni…Stay Beautiful🌻

Sydni could really use your prayers.🙏🙏🙏.

Back in May, I got baptized! This was a pretty wonderful experience and I’m grateful to have had so much love and support there with me.✨🧡✨

I’m currently back on oxygen full time as my breathing is very labored but I’m staying open to the goodness of God and knowing he will make a way for me. Thank you for all the prayers, near and far and may you all continue to keep my family and I in your prayers.

My faith strengthens me while these trials continue. So unfortunately, they ended up finding 32+ cancerous spots on my brain, meaning whole brain radiation was my only real option. I just finished 10 days of this and
handled it pretty well. I pray for protection from the potential side effects of memory and cognitive issues, as well as hair loss, again.
I had another body scan this week and it showed worsening cancer progression in my lungs, meaning the chemotherapy I have been on all summer is no longer working. So I’m going try a new one soon and am very hopeful it will address my lungs. I’ve had to be more and more reliant on oxygen and much less active as my breathing is very labored and strained. I’ve gained my appetite back the past few weeks and am eating so much now, yet, I can’t seem to gain weight. This has been pretty hard bc my body is not as strong and resilient as I’m used to it being to withstand all the toxicity I’m needing to address the aggressiveness of the cancer growing all over my body. As it seems like every time I’ve tried to stop chemo and fully immerse myself in natural alternatives, the cancerous cells go wild.
Sadly, I had to make the tough decision to resign from my job as a mental health therapist so I can focus on healing and my family. I filed for SSD & thankfully got approved! I have to jump through some hoops regarding the pay, but I’m hopeful it will all get sorted. I haven’t been able to drive myself places in a while so Cody and I traded in both our vehicles and got an all electrical SUV to save money and it’s been a pretty nice change. My bestie, Stacey is still living with us and has been absolutely amazing.
I’m doing my best to just accept support from others and want to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way! Every thought, prayer, text, meal, grocery trip, gift for our kids, and financial assistance has not gone unnoticed. I am so GRATEFUL!!
As always, please keep sending prayers, positive vibrations, and healing energy my way🧡

Despite the seemingly never ending challenges or trials, my faith continues to grow. I wish so badly that this was a fully positive update, but the truth is things have been extremely difficult. I started the chemo regiment in June, infusions every three weeks and then daily pills. Well those pills caused a lot of severe side effects, constant nausea day and night, diarrhea, vomiting, complete loss of appetite, mouth sores, dehydration, and overwhelming fatigue all of which lead to great weight loss. Since being on the pills I had only about a week of reprieve, where I could eat regularly and actually get out of the house, until the side effects came back but more intense. So last week my oncologist had me stop the pills and go in for IV hydration and steroids and the side effects all subsided. I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to eat again and do a little more the last 5 days. However, it has become pretty clear that since stopping the pills my lungs are now struggling again and breathing has become labored and strained. With this, I had to start using oxygen again last night, which I was able to stop using about a month and a half ago. So now my oncologist wants me to go back on the pills, but reduce the dose by half until he sees me next Monday.

In the midst of this, I had an MRI and they found 20 new cancerous spots on my brain. Thankfully they are all quite small and my radiologist feels confident that he can get all of them through precision radiotherapy, meaning they will target the spots instead of radiating my entire brain. This should be taking place in the next week or so.

I am doing my best to be present, optimistic, and connected with the wonderful supports I have, both professional and personal. I’m praying and talking to God throughout the days and nights and asking for strength and guidance. Yet, this continues to be a very emotional journey for myself and my family. At this time, I’m still not able to work and we really don’t know what that will look like going forward. Thank you for all the love and support! Please keep praying, sending healing energy, and or positive vibrations our way!

There is so much power in prayer and healing that can be taken from my particular experiences. So please, if you feel compelled to make a positive life change for yourself after reading this, do it. I know in my heart that this healing journey isn’t just for me. ✨

Much love,
Sydni 🧡

Today I’m choosing to find small things to be grateful for and really lean into Gods plan. Over the past couple of months I chose to focus fully on holistic approaches to heal the cancer. Yet, the cancer is very fast growing and those approaches just couldn’t quite keep up. My breathing has become very labored again as it’s spreading through my lungs. I can feel tumors growing again in my right breast and the lymph nodes on the left side of my neck, impacting my nerves and making the left side of my body numb and sensitive. About three weeks ago my appetite decreased and I started losing weight. Last week I pulled an intercostal muscle in my chest, adding to the discomfort. All of this had created a lot of overwhelming anxiety and fears that led to so many tears. I’m taking a leave from work again and Cody is planning to work as much as he can while still trying to be present and care for our children and me.

Yesterday I started a new chemotherapy. I feel like God led me back there for a reason and I’m trusting this process. My body is feeling very run down and achy and since last night I’ve needed oxygen full time again. However, the home oxygen I was approved for didn’t arrive until today, so thankfully my sister and husband where able to reach out to our community and got me some portable options for the night within one hour of my request. Which is kind of incredible!

With all of that, we are so thankful for all the ways our village has already show up for us and will continue showing up for us! I’m thanking the Lord for all the amazing goodness we’ve experienced on this journey! Please keep sending prayers, healing energy, or positive vibrations our way🧡🧡

We created a new Go Fund Me and I’ll post my Venmo and an Amazon list of house hold items we could use some help with if you find yourself wanting to do more. However please know that sending intentional love is just as helpful 🧡
With all the gratitude I can gather,
-Sydni✨

I’ve made some big changes and although it may seem a little scary, I feel good about them!
After the MRI on my brain found new growths, I had a scan on my body which also indicated cancerous growths in my lungs and liver. This information means the chemotherapy I’ve been on has stopped working. This wasn’t a big surprise bc it happens with all chemo therapies. Prior to finding out this information my oncologist warned us that we were running out of “good chemo options.” Meaning there are some other ones we could try but the effectiveness is much lower and the side effects are much greater. He also suggested exploring possible clinical trials, but this would be similar to my chemo options.

So after a lot of prayer and (kind of wild) connections to alternative medicine and healers I’ve decided to stop trying different chemo therapies. I plan to stay connected with my oncologist and the rest of my conventional medicine team while I take time to dive deeper into my faith and an “alternative” or more holistic approach that has always resonated more with me.

I completed another round of radiation on my brain last week and that seems to have gone smoothly. They got all “7” of the new spots they found on my brain in one session.

I am so grateful for how well my mind, body, and spirit has held up throughout this journey so far but I don’t want to continue “fighting” this disease with toxicity. I want to heal through a more loving approach and maybe inspire others along the way. As some already know, I’ve always felt like this journey happened to me or a reason. God knew I was strong enough to handle it (even though I don’t always feel like that) and knew that I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone else. I know I am not only enduring these trials for me, I am healing in ways I never imagined and helping others along the way, particularly my family. This perspective is not always easy to grasp, especially when I’m feel overwhelmed, but my faith has brought me so much peace amongst the chaos that I can’t help but want more. ✨

So despite the overwhelming difficulties I’ve faced and continue to face, I’m thankful. I’ve learned so much and will continue to learn and grow from this experience. So please keep the prayers, positive energy, & healing vibrations coming as I take this leap of faith.

As always, thank you so much for supporting my family and I✨

Here are some fun moments from life over the past month.

Some new things are on the horizon for me. Yet, the MRI I had on my brain last week showed 5 new spots of concern. I’m grateful for my wonderful radiologist who called to go over things with us so we didn’t have to fret over the weekend. Obviously this news super sucks, but I feel grateful that a plan is already in motion as I’ve been pretty lucky with providers that advocate for things to happen quickly. Since all the spots are “small,” my radiologist thinks we can effectively get everything with one round of radiation.

Before we got this news, Cody and I were already planning to go snowboarding for the first time in 5 years, which I was slightly anxious about but even more excited for. After the news from my MRI, I felt even more empowered to still go. Maybe this was a way to take back some control over my body, or maybe it was a way of proving to myself what I’m still capable of doing despite all the physical things my body has endured. As we got on the first lift, I decided to let go of my fears and give them to God, for I knew he would provide me with the strength, motivation, and skill I needed. And that is exactly what he did! I wasn’t as fast or confident and I didn’t have the stamina I’m used to, but I did successfully ride down the mountain several times and truly enjoyed myself! I also had the unwavering support and patience from my husband as I needed to pause and rest more than we are used to. I can’t put into words how amazing this felt, even though I couldn’t ride the full day, I was so proud!

I could have taken this news as a big set back and I won’t lie, there were lots of tears and it did make me really sad and frustrated. But once I accepted it, I decided to use it as motivation. It is motivating me to dive deeper into my faith and trust the benefits of more naturally derived supplements/medications and approaches. I know I will continue healing!

As always, thank you to everyone for all the love and support! Right now, my family and I would just really appreciate more prayers, healing energy, positivity, and love for a smooth procedure, easy recovery, and continued overall healing. ✨🧡✨

And the healing continues. December was filled with lots of family time, sweet little holiday traditions, and some wonderful memories. I finally had the energy to make fresh juice daily, did sound therapy sessions, frequency and biofeedback work, and acupuncture in addition to the western meds. I had some ups and downs with the medication dosage, but overall I’m managing the side effects well. Then at the beginning of January I went back to work, had too many assessments to catch up on, gained some needed weight, built muscle and got stronger, we went for a hike, and by the end of the month I jogged continuously for a mile! Then today I jogged continuously for 1.5 miles!! My jogging is pretty slow, but I’m okay with that bc at this point I’m well aware that walking on my own was a miracle on its own. At this point they have told me the cancer spread from my breast to my bones, lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain; but I’ll never give up. Just two months ago I was still reliant on oxygen and 6 months ago I underwent emergency brain surgery. The mental strength, determination, and faith that got me to today is beyond me. The amount of gratitude I feel and the love I’ve felt overwhelms and fuels me. I’m looking forward to even more healing in my future bc I know He has bigger plans for me. May you please continue sending prayers, healing energy, & positive vibrations my way bc it’s working! ✨
As always, thank you so very much for all the love and support we’ve received, it has made this time of our lives much less stressful. 🫶🏼
