Story
I don't normally post a lot about my personal life situations, but right now, I could really use a lot of your prayers, good vibes, and healing thoughts. I don't even know how to begin to tell this nightmare. November 1st 2022 I had a blister on my heel that sent me on the journey I am now on. Deb and I struggled to get the wound to heal for close to 2 years. Unfortunately, through this process, I was put out of work & eventually lost my job of 30 yrs, which I loved. As if that weren't enough, it was only the beginning of this journey. On September 12th 2024 I end up in the emergency room with a high fever. We thought it was the flu. I was told I had a choice to amputee my leg or die. We lost the battle with the heel wound to a below the knee amputation. While learning to adjust to a missing limb and emotions off the chain, I was starting to get around pretty good. On October 15th 2024, one month and 2 days later I end up in the emergency room again. This time with extreme stomach pain. Over 7 liters of fluid was pulled off my stomach. The fluid was tested and on October 19th, I was officially told I have Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. (We are still waiting for another test to come back to determine if it has spread to other areas.) November 11th 2024... Biopsy done, my port was inserted for chemo to start November 14th 2024. They are hitting me with an aggressive form of chemotherapy. Dealing with both life changing diagnosis so close together has been an emotional, physical and mental challenge for Deb and I both. The uncertainty that comes with all of this has definitely tested us & it has been a challenge for both Deb & I. We are trusting in God & have the faith that we can get through this. We are needing your prayers...lots of prayers...good vibes...healing thoughts...as well as your love and support!!! Thank you in advance to all those who have signed up already to provide meals for us & have donated!! By doing so, it allows Deb the opportunity to concentrate on Me & you don't know how much that means to both of us! We can't thank you enough for your support!!
Special Notes
I have created this page for Malynda & Deborah in order for friends & family to be able to help support them with meals and such during this difficult challenge ahead. Malynda will be starting an aggressive form of chemotherapy on November 14th. Although, this may seem to be a difficult uphill battle, I have faith that She & Deb will pull through it even stronger! If you would like to sign up and help with dinner meals, I know it would greatly be appreciated by the both of them. They are going to need all of our help, support, and love through this. If you do sign up for a day, please check with them beforehand to see if there is something specific they may want or need. Thank you in advance!!
