We would like to start this blog by thanking everyone who has already shown so much support and love for our Mom. This blog was created to provide info for everyone who wants to keep up to date with her progress. The idea to blog about this time comes from very special family friends, The Lowes, who have inspired us.  We intend to take on this diagnosis in the same manner they have: together, with faith, and with a lot of love.   Our family is thankful to have so many people that care.

She has a lot to take in right now, so we would appreciate if people could show support and love through commenting on this blog or via email rather than phoning or dropping in.

As some of you might know, she has not been feeling well over the last 6 weeks and had been seeing her doctor. On Thursday (May 31^st) Mom was diagnosed after a CT Scan with Ovarian Cancer. There is also concern about lesions on her stomach and more investigation is required to determine if it has spread anywhere else. Mom, Dad and Wes were there for this. Our family has since spent a lot of time together.

Mom is still processing this news. However, she has made it clear to our family that she has a lot to live for and is eager to get moving with treatment so she can be healthy and cancer free. As we all know, Mom has a TERRIFIC family (if I do say so myself) who love her very much and are very committed to supporting her  with lots of love and TLC through this. Dad is being the supportive great man we all know him to be and I know mom is thankful.

The next step is to meet with a Gynecologist Oncologist in Winnipeg and have further CT scans. After this, Mom will begin a treatment plan. As we learn more about the treatment plan and what’s happening, this blog will be updated by Mom and members of our family. We know that there are many people that will be reading this, and we will do our best to “Keep you in the loop” as Mom would say.

Thanks again for the love and support, talk to you soon.

Amanda and Wes
