I spoke with Laura last night and she is a true inspiration! Her voice and spirits are a reflection of the beauty in her soul! She is very positive and determined!
I did want to clairfy one thing in the prior post about her treatments. She is going to Scottsdale next week, however, it is for a second opinion from a doctor who specializes in melanoma at the Mayo Clinic. After a series of tests she will know more on the future treatments.
Once again please keep her in your prayers and thank you for your contributions The Vogel family! They are forever thankful!
Laura's Story
- 'BELIEVE"
- In November 2011 a very loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, family member and a very dear friend to many people treated herself to a well deserved body massage. During this massage she learned that she had a spot on her upper shoulder blade that had her massage therapist alarmed. The therapist encouraged Laura to make herself an appointment with a doctor to have it evaluated. Without hesitation Laura went to the doctor and through many tests, it came back she had developed melanoma. In the past few weeks she has undergone some very intense and painful surgery to have not only the spot removed from her back but also the lymph nodes in her neck. Laura is a very strong, loving and caring woman of God. I visited her over Christmas and she asked only that people be aware of their own body and health. Having a second set of eyes in November prevented this cancer from spreading any further. WE BELIVE in the power of prayer and the strength of Laura's determination to pave this one forward! A benefit account has been set up at JP Chase Bank to help cover the costs of treatments, unexpected medical costs and/or other expenses needed while she is recovering.
