Eternal Hope for Angie Brown

Angie Brown, fabulous wife and young mother coping with terminal stage IV breast cancer

We have eternal hope - as  the years pass, and against a lot of odds - that Angie will find a stage of No Evidence of Disease after hearing such life altering words as - “It’s Metastatic Breast Cancer.”   In September of 2015,  She was thrust into the world of Terminal Breast Cancer for which there is no cure.  This deadly disease has spread now to her liver, lungs, lymph system, and most recently to her sternum.  She has faced over 18 surgeries, chemo, radiation  - both internal and external beam, ablation and alternative therapies.  Life and love have  instantly become so much more precious to her.
 
21 months ago, Angie's friends and family set up the go fund me and benefit pages.  Your kind and generous donations have been so greatly appreciated. The community response has been emotional for us all. It has made life for her family so much more than Dr. appts., treatment and financial obstacles. Any future contributions will be used to enhance Angie's quality time with her husband and kids and further her specialized treatment. She has been honest to herself in seeking healers of all kinds and she has felt good through so many layers of therapy.
 
Angie impacts everyone she meets with her “breath of fresh air” attitude.  She lives with the gravity of it all while taking her kids to birthday parties and laughing with her husband and making  every day an adventure. She always has something to look forward to even if it's a “drip party” at the infusion center.  By looking at her, you would never know she is critically ill. But She is critically ill. It is our hope that she will have every opportunity to continue her family adventures and maintain this quality of life and live longer and more comfortable..  
 
Angie sets the bar high for all of us who love her.  She says, “never buy a coffee without tipping the coffee girl.”  We notice more than ever the lonely person in the back  of a room...she would go sit with them and visit.  She lives a kind and compassionate life and sets an example that we all strive for.  I've heard her say, “please give me your hugs but don't you dare feel sorry for me.” As sick as she is, Angie carries a “pay it  forward” approach to everything she does.  Your help never goes unnoticed.  Angie is so grateful for all the help as she walks this path. For all of us who walk by her side, we too, are grateful.
