This blog is about my journey and on this journey there will be good days and bad. Today wasn’t a good day. I finally broke down with the Radiologist. It was tough. We are dealing with extensive lymph node involvement. I ended up having a lymph node biopsy today from the right side (cancer is on the left side) and it came back as cancerous. It means there is cancer also present on the right side that isn’t being picked up yet (which may be the case with lobular, since it is also called a “hidden cancer”) or the left side is worse than they thought. I am in tears as I write this. It’s tough right now. The Radiologist wants to have an MRI done. We meet back with the Oncologist tomorrow. I am glad Kevin is here with me. He picked me up when I was down and took me for a ride on the “metro train” to downtown. It was interesting. I don’t know what else to write today. I am scared and that’s all there is to it today.

Kevin and Kasey,
What wonderful idea to share your journey with us, as we are all riding the waves of emotion with you both. We all share your pain, fear and hope. Rocky, Wyatt, Emmett and I are praying for you and your family every day. We believe that God answers prayers. We believe you will be home with Raisa and Larson soon. Lots of Love, Trisha
Kasey-
I am crying with you as I read your post just now. We certainly don't expect all of your days to be good ones, and we do want to hear how you are, rather it's a good day or bad one. Thank you for being so open and honest about what you are going through. Know that you have many friends back home who continue to pray for you, your doctors and medical staff, as well as for Kevin and Raisa and Larson. God bless!
Kasey and Kevin,
Thinking of you.
Debbie

Dear Kasey & Kevin,
You have traveled a rocky road today...the tears you shed fall upon the hearts of all who love you.
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But l can be your friend
And your partner in prayer.
May God send you special blessings.
Luv'n'prayers4u2...Karen
Yes, we have to take the bad with the good. Hang in there sweetheart, I know you're strong enough and this is all going to work out.
Love you and think of you all the time.

Have Faith,
When walking through the "valley of shadows," remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.

I just want you to know that Jewell AND I ARE Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. I know what you are going through. the not knowing is the worse. Once I knew, I was ready to fight for my life whatever it took. They throw so much at you at one time, it is over whelming. You are not alone as you know. So many of us are praying for you and your family. you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. GOD BLESS, Vicki Hartzell
Kasey, Sorry you had suck a rough day today. I understand your fear, as soon as you know everything, you will feel a little better and be ready for the undertaking that lies ahead. It's the unknown that we fear and this type of cancer is more scarey simply because it doesn't show up in x-ray. I am sharing your fear and your pain and praying for you along with so many other people who are praying and hoping along with you and Kevin. You will have bad days and good days and their will be more good days than you think. Stay positive Kasey, Your treatment will be easier and more acceptable if you stay positive. You're so positive and you have such a bright outlook on everything, I just know that you're going to do a lot better than you think. I think sharing your experience is a great idea it will be good therapy for you and keep us informed at the same time.I'm just unwinding from work, and was anxious to hear your news for today. Were praying for Raisa and Larson and your mom and dad, along with michelle and don and all their family, this is hard on them too. I better go to bed, I haven't been getting much sleep. I'll be looking in on you tomorrow. Love Jackie
I need to proof read my own messages however it is 3:51 a.m. and I am entitled to an error every now and then. (I meant to say such a bad day.) Anyway, you guys have a good day today.

To: All those who believe in me

Good Morning,
I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If the devil happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFJTD (something for Jesus to do) box. It will be addressed in my time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it or remove it. Holding on or removal will delay the resolution of your problems. If it is a situation that you think you are capable of handling, please consult me in prayer to be sure it is the proper resolution.
Because I do not sleep nor do I slumber, there is no need for you to lose any sleep.
Rest, my Child. If you need to contact me, I am only a Prayer Away.
We mortals are programmed to complete a task and get it done on time, to watch the clock... We forget that there really is no such thing as time - it was created by us for us. That's why it's so hard for us to remember to "let go and let God" and that our time is not "God's time". I know it's hard, but try to remember He is in control, He loves you and He will see you through this.
Love Ya Both,
Patti
Kasey,
I wish I could help you shoulder some of your burden. You have to turn it over to God and let him carry you through this. Half of the battle is knowing what you're fighting. I know it's scary but there is power in knowing what you're up against and how to treat it. Take care and I'll be praying for you.
Julie
As Robert Frost once said, the best way out is always through. I know that you can get through this, Kasey. Yes, it will be hard, and yes, it will be scary, but just remember that there are angels everywhere silently holding your hand and guiding you through all of this. We're all here whenever you need us.
Stay strong,
Love ya both,
Britt
Kasey,
I check your journal eveyday. It is such a great idea so that we can keep posted on you. You are such a positive person. It is O.K. to show our feelings, others share in those. You are a strong person and will fight this through. What better place to be? You are in God's hands! You have many people praying for you. The class and I think of you and pray for you several times a day. We believe in miracles!!! Keep up your faith.
Mrs. Reese
