Long day

It has been an extremely busy and long day, but productive. Had a great day of teaching!! Travis took me to work today because I had set up a meeting with my student's parents to explain why I had been missing so much work. I told them I had been very sick and that last week I found out I had cancer. I hope they took the news well and that the school is trying to take care of their children's best interest. Travis drove me home and I was so glad, because it has been a long day and I am tired.

My gastro doctor called me this morning and his reports say that it is a slow growing tumor in my pancreas, which he says is great. I am still getting scans all over my body and tomorrow I go for a mammogram.
I would give anything to be able to say how my treatments are going to go but I know nothing right now. I could do Chemo or shots!!! I know I can beat this!!!

  1. Susan - I know I speak for the whole class when I say we support you and appreciate all you have done to take care of our kids. I told Anna about the cancer last night she said she would give you extra hugs today. So be ready! God Bless and don't forget to lean on us when you need extra support. Staci

  2. Susan,Reagan and I prayed for you this morning and promise to pray for every single morning. You are deeply loved by your students. God loves you more than we possibly can and He is with you every step. We prayed that God will heal you and give the doctors wisdom to do exactly what they need to do to get the cancer out. In the meantime, we asked that God will lift you up, encourage you and hold you in his arms of love. You are precious and beautiful. Penny and Reagan

  4. Dearest Susan,
    Ben loves you so much!
    I can only speak for myself, but my biggest concern is your peace of mind and that you have the energy to fight. You have done a remarkable job with Ben and the entire class and now they can learn about the strength of character and what that can accomplish.
    With all our love and prayers,
    Nancy and Ben
