This is a prayer request for my youngest daughter who has been diagnosed with an agressive breast cancer and is facing a bilateral mastectomy this wendesday followed in 2 weeks with removal of her ovaries. Unfourtunatly breast cancer runs in the female side of the family. Her Mother is a 20 year survivor but her Grandmother and Greataunt passed away from it. Any and all prayers are welcome.
I’m so sorry your family has to go through this, fella. It must be a stressful and scary time for all of you.
A friend of my daughter’s and her sister are at high risk: their mother died of breast cancer as did their aunt and grandmother.
They are both around 30. They’d be best tested now, wouldn’t they? and can that gene be detected at any time?
I will pray for your daughter. Many advances have been made in the field of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment and you can rest assured that she is in competent hands and will get the very best care from the surgeons, hospital staff and all who are blessed to know her.
She looks to be a precious, lovely daughter.
I’m going to donate now. all the best, Mary in Wisconsin
PS Caringbridge.com is a great site and way for your daughter to share updates without having to talk to each person who wants to follow her progress.

Yes one of those girls should get genetic testing, it ain't cheap but then the second girl's testing will be cheaper as the geneticist will know what genes to look for instead of doing a total scan. It what my girls have done, it wasn't planned that way it just sort of happened.
We're working on a way to get one of us up there to be with her.
My prayers for God’s blessings and through the intercession of Pope John Paul II may God grant her cure.
So sorry to hear of this. Prayers up for your daughter and for you and all of your family.
fella, I’ve been wondering how Reba is doing. You’d mentioned follow up surgery. I know how difficult this is for her and your whole family, and that time to keep us updated is at a premium. Know that you and she and your entire family remain in our prayers.
As already noted, Reba remains in my prayers, as do you all. I’m not sure why, but the after-effects of laproscopy in many cases seems harder to recover from than invasive surgery. Maybe it has to do with the post-op care in hospital vs home? In any case, hope she gets those spirits up soon, before the chemo starts. God bless your entire family.
God bless you and yours too.
How’s our gal doing? Hopefully she’s well past the worst of it and looking forward to blessed holidays.
Prayers up.
