Hi all! My name is Tracy Dorton and I am a friend and former coworker of Angie. As you may or may not know, Angie’s cancer has returned.

Here’s what she had to say -

Well.... this is a post I wish I didn’t have to make, but after telling family/friends, the constant repeating this is so hard, stressful & very emotional for both James Murar & I. So I’m putting it here to get past this part & get it over with.

We unfortunately got some really bad news this week. I’ve been dealing w major back pain & have had some testing done & shockingly we found out My cancer has returned & has metastasized to my bones. I have multiple fractures, lesions all over, broken rib even from the cancer, which explains why I’ve been so miserable.

Please understand that this is very hard to share. But I feel it’s the best way to inform extended people in our lives. I just can’t keep doing the individual thing, it’s way too much. although we tried.

I begin treatments tomorrow already!

Unfortunately this will be for the long haul. That feels impossible to absorb. & typing this I really don’t fathom yet that I’m talking about myself to be honest.

I will also have surgery coming up to stabilize my spine due to the destruction from the cancer.

Please understand I am sharing this not for sympathy, but we will need support.

I am so grateful to be blessed with the most amazing support system in my husband James. He never waivers in showing me he is here for me through everything. Please say some prayers etc for him as I know it’s scary & I cannot imagine being on his end of things either.

Although this is a complete shock & will be completely life changing , I’m numb, scared, in a fog, I need you all to know that I am also STRONG! I will do what I have to do. I WILL KEEP FIGHTING!

I will never give up, no way, no how, not ever!

I know it’s going to be a hard road filled with many ups & downs, but I’ll do whatever it takes!

I also feel lead to share this as you all know how important it is to me to continue to spread awareness, remind others to be YOUR OWN ADVOCATE! If I didn’t keep pushing for answers, I wouldn’t know now. I was told by a joke of an orthopedic doctor that I had arthritis & degenerative disc disease & here, take some pills, obviously this is way more than that.. another told me to do yoga as I work a sendintary job (work at a desk) even with my history of cancer probably because still after everything I’m considered “ too young”. Apparently I’m not & I THANK GOD that I kept pushing for answers & didn’t listen. So please, if I can remind one of you to dig deeper, seek answers, get tested, be your own advocate, it means everything. Can’t stress it enough.

Anyway, this is too long, thank you for reading & remember, I’ll do what I gotta do!

It’s all I can do.

I wish tomorrow would stop getting here so fast. Feels like it’s getting real.

But I got this.

Like many of you, since I heard the awful news, I wanted to help Angie and James. Angie has been such a positive influence in my life and my family member’s lives as they’ve pushed through their cancer diagnosis. I have friends and family who have been on the receiving end of her positivity and cancer recovery bags. She has given her time, money, and energy to people all over her town, state, and even country!

NOW IT’S OUR TURN! It’s our turn to show Angie that her Army is ready to fight and help her and James with whatever they may need.

Your donation will help support the cost of treatments as well as support their income while they’re off of work during treatments.  Angie’s treatments will last indefinitely.  No donation is too small. And if you’re unable to contribute at this time, please share this page. No one is more deserving than Angie and James. Let’s make this go viral!  As Angie would say, WE’VE GOT THIS!

Please keep Angie and James in your thoughts and prayers!
