This beautiful young lady is my 30 year old baby, this picture posted is on her wedding day only 3 short months ago, Crystal is a very lively fun loving, fun living young woman, she enjoys horseback riding, fishing (she caught a 47 pound flathead on a pole just this last summer), she loves animals of all sorts, especially her own dogs, she loves spending time with her friends, and family, it is a mutual feeling being the most important thing in our lives...each other! Just barely a month ago we found out how sick she was, it started with finding a lump, to a mammogram, ultrasound, and then a biopsy, lastly came the results, utter shock does not even begin to describe the feeling that overcomes you. NO mother ever wants to hear that your child could be terminally ill, be it she is a grown woman now or not, Crystal's diagnosis is Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, it is a very aggressive breast cancer, she had a bi-lateral mastectomy last week, thus far her tissue is not healing properly and adds more treatment currently, her treatment plan is expected to be around a years time, yes there is health insurance in place, but there are many unforeseen expenses with cancer treatment, weekly stays at guest rooms at the hospital that are only semi inpatient and uncovered, multiple trips to Tulsa, even eating daily away from home becomes a large expense, there are patient prices set-up for patient and a caregiver even at that is around a minimum of $70.00 a day for food and board, when unable to work and not being able to contribute to your normal expenses, and then these daily expenses added to that you can imagine what that can do to a young couple, and that's only a tip of the ice burg to the daily incurred expenses with this. So with a heavy heart we ask if you are able to help with any monetary donation please do, continued prayers are never turned away if you are unable to do a monetary donation. Being stress free is key in cancer recovery and treatment, it can be winning or losing. God bless each and everyone of you for the prayers, loving thoughts, and the donations. We have been overwhelmed with the love shown for Crystal!
