I?m walking in the 2025 Susan G. Komen Tulsa Race for the Cure on Saturday, September 27, at River Spirit Casino Resort in Tulsa Qgiv 2RunGuides 2RunSignup 14News on 6 14Susan G. KomenŽ 14. I?m proud to be part of the team "The Spice Rack", and I would love for you to walk with me?either in person or virtually if you live out-of-state. I will be live on TT if you want to join in the walk no matter where you live. We would love to have you there.
In March 2017, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I had a lumpectomy on May 1 and completed 30 rounds of radiation. For several years, I was cancer-free and deeply grateful. This week, I received the unexpected news: the cancer returned. It?s now in two locations and in two lymph nodes Stage 4, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I am currently waiting biopsy report on the procedure I had done Thursday of last week. I see the doctor this Thursday, Sept 25th to get those results. I am praying that is the same type of cancer that was found in my left armpit, so that treatment will be the same. If it is a different type of cancer then we are looking at a whole different ballgame. Thank you to any of you that have said a prayer, sent me messages, bought me things, donated, or will be walking with me. Your kindness means the absolute world to me. I love each and every one of you!
