Jan. 28th

Good morning prayer warriors,

I went to my oncologist yesterday and it was not the news we were hoping for. My husband and I both felt something was wrong for different reasons. My appointment was at 4pm but he didn’t walk in the room until 5pm. He gave us pretty devastating news. The radiation did nothing. The cancer almost doubled in size in 6 weeks. Literally no one has ever seen this cancer before. NIH (National Institute of Health), Mayo clinic, Karis group, Hoag and City of Hope did every possible test that they have at their disposal and none of them know what it is or where it came from. Im one of a kind.

His recommendation was another surgery as early as next week. A stronger more broad radiation, with chemo and immune suppressant because it may help the chemo work better in my brain. Basically there is no protocol. We will throw everything at it and pray for a miracle. We will do modern treatment and holistic medicine. Anything and everything. Jesus, I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything. Jesus, I don’t understand and as a very dear friend told me, I dont have to understand. I will trust Him. I pray he makes saints of my children, husband, all my family, each of you and myself. God is calling us all to trust him and to pursue radically holiness. I will not let my suffering go to waste. Please message me your intentions and I will offer it up for you all. Please pray for me and for my dear husband and children. We will be praying for you. Thank you for helping me carry this cross and loving my family.

God Bless you all,

Ashley

    I’m praying for you Ashley, you are strong. Sometimes I save verses and quotes that comfort me, here are a few:

    2 CORINTHIANS 12:9
    “My grace is all you need, for my power is the greatest when you are weak.”

    “My little child, there is nothing for you to fear. Let not your heart be troubled.
    Am I not here, I who am your mother?
    Are you not under my shadow and protection; in the fold of my mantle; in the embrace of my arms?”
    – Our Lady of Guadalupe

    Do not let your weakness make you unhappy. When, in the morning, we feel no courage or strength for the practice of virtue, it is really a grace: it is the time to “lay the axe to the root of the tree,” relying on Jesus alone.
    -St. Therese of Lisieux

    Love, Sheri M

    We’ve never met but I wanted you to know that I am praying for you and your beautiful family!
    If you aren’t familiar with Paul J. Kim(Catholic influencer who just had his 5 year old son Micah pass into eternal life) I would visit his Facebook page ( Paul J. Kim) or his Instagram @heypjk to see/pray the intercessory prayer posted to ask his son Micah to intercede for healing. Little Micah has been very powerful already with interceding for intentions, particularly healing!
    God bless you!
