Lisa has metastatic cancer. She needs to have chemo...........AGAIN. Two were removed, with small ones left, the doctor says the chemo should take care of those.
Honestly, I don't know how she is going to do this again. God give her and her family strength to endure this.
I do believe that she will come out on the other side of this.
Love you Lisa.

My friend
I spent the day with Lisa today. Thank you Darrin for taking your day off and spending it home with Nathan so I could do that!
My friend Lisa is the strongest person I know. Tomorrow, she is facing a potential 4th cancer diagnosis. Every one of her cancers (breast x2 two different times, and ovarian) have been different cancers. This time, it may be metastatic.
We don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. All signs and test point to the fact that this is metastatic cancer.
She is 42 years old. She is a wife. She is a mother to a 13 year old girl, who is also Amelia's very good friend.
Darrin, her husband Pete, and Lisa all grew up together. They know each other forever, they
and us, are family.
She has suffered so much. It's all too much to write here, but nobody can imagine this diagnosis for her AGAIN, and what is to follow.
Just when they thought maybe, just maybe they could get on with their lives. BAM! Hit in the face again.
No person should suffer like Lisa has suffered. NOBODY.
Let's not forget her husband who tries to hold it all together.
Let's not forget her daughter, who was two when Lisa got her first diagnosis. Rebecca has never known her mother as a "well" person.
What do you say to a friend that's crying, begging God not to let her die, saying how she has so much more to teach her daughter? There was nothing I could say. I felt wonderfully honored that I could be there, just to sit with her. I hope I was a comfort, even if just a little.

Dear God,
Please take this pain away from Lisa and her family.
Please do not let her suffer like this any more.
Please give her husband more strength than ever.
Please place your hand on Rebeccas shoulder, let her know you are near.
Let everyone feel your loving presence, in every minute of tomorrow and the uncertain days to follow.
Please God, take this from her.
The world just wouldn't be the same without her.
