Laura's Story

My photo
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.

When WE give, WE receive!!


Laura met with a very sincere and compassionate Melanoma Cancer Specialist in Scottsdale, Arizona this past week and has returned back home.  She left there with many answered questions but also with some very difficult decisions to make on her upcoming treatment location.  As she makes these decisions we will keep you followers updated and informed.  

Her extended family at FHW’s Rehabilitation Therapy Center has organized a fund-raiser to help Laura with her battle. Your support is greatly appreciated!
