Have Faith Not Fear

I first want to express my deepest love and thanks to my dear husband who has picked up all the pieces at home and with our children. He is truly my Rockstar!

This past week has been a whirlwind. Grasping the fact that I have cancer and wrapping my head around all this has been very faith building. I am so grateful and feel blessed beyond words for this refining experience. It has taught me that when we exercise faith in the atonement, our Savior, and the will of our Heavenly Father, we are truly blessed.

I want to thank my dear parents, my brothers and their dear wives, Lance's family, aunts, uncles, cousins, dear friends, and ward members for your love, support, fasting, and many prayers. It is amazing the power that comes when so many people exercise faith in behalf of someone they love and care about.

I feel so good I almost feel guilty! I complete this first round of chemo treatments tomorrow then wait as my body rebuilds and my blood levels rise to a point that is safe for me to go home. This is just the beginning of a long road and I know there will be hard days ahead when I will have to dig deep and keep fighting. I am a fighter!
