As many of you know our friend and everybody’s team mom is battling cancer. In July, Misty underwent surgery to help relieve the nerve pain in her foot and ankle. What the doctor found once he started operating, was a tumor causing all her pain. He removed part of it and testing confirmed it was osteosarcoma. At this point, the doctor thought that amputation of part of the leg would eliminate the tumor, but further testing showed that it had spread to her lungs. In early August, Misty started chemotherapy to shrink the spots in her lungs. When those tumors respond to the therapy, doctors will plan the amputation. Misty has a long battle ahead to recovery but she has, as always, been positive and hopeful through this whole process.
As you might imagine her road to recovery will be a long and financially draining one. Her friends are going to host a walk at city park to raise money to help with some of the financial burden. We will have food, raffles and games after the walk. This will be a fun event for family and friends to come show their support and have a fun day at city park.
