Thank you for taking the time to read about me, Christina Brown, and the most important season Ricky and I will ever go through! I will be updating this page regularly as the weeks go by. ** April 17, 2024 : PetCt Scan + breast MRI + evaluation from new Doctor concludes NO SPREAD and lessened cancer activity putting me in stage 3 from stage 4 🥳 So we are scheduling surgery for mid June ! - Lower dose chemo resumes weekly ** April 6, 2024 - After 4 rounds I refused the chemo for #5 and my oncologist dropped me. The new doc is a God Send and I am confident I am in much better hands to face Stage 4 cancer. I will continue with chemo but with different protocols and better care. 🙏🏻 Everything happens for a reason. **Jan 13, 2025 **Update! The tumor is HALF the size! After only 3 weeks! 2nd round of chemo + immunotherapy begins Jan 14, 2025. Here are the facts as of Dec 2024: Stage 3, possible stage 4 Her2Neu Positive, Hormone receptors Negative, invasive aggressive ductal carcinoma (Cancer) in my left breast with multiple lymph node involvement on both sides. Treatment begins at Hoag on Dec 24, 2024. Initial diagnosis: June 2023 Why did I wait so long for conventional treatment? The simplest answer is that I needed time to address and heal other parts of me that I believe allowed the cancer to take hold in the first place, and to prepare my life for this next season. But also, Fear. I could not fathom a life where I was allowed to be sick. So I continued to work (fly) and support myself and Ricky, praying that this would go away… It didn’t! So.. today I am ready. My faith is strong but the reality is that I need help moving forward. I just can’t do it alone and, humbly, I am reminded that scripture says we aren’t meant to. 🙏🏻 Galatians 6:2 “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” •So I ask for Prayer - that God’s will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven (No sickness in Heaven!) •I ask for financial support as I carefully navigate one day at time whether or not I will still be able to work / fly. •I ask for Patience on days when I am too tired or overwhelmed to respond. •I ask for Your strengthened Faith that everything is happening exactly as it’s meant to. • Lastly, Please opt for a text before calling or knocking. This spares both my and Ricky’s nerves… ha! 🙏🏻
