Oh my gosh, Emily! That is such a scary thing! But I will definitely add my prayers to everyone else. Faith is a strong tool. We'll be thinking of you guys often.
ReplyDeleteI think it is amazing that while nursing your where able to recognize it...I think I would have just thought it was a clogged duct or something. Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteSo optimistic even in the face of one of life's greatest challenges. You're the most positive person I know -- never let go of that!
ReplyDeleteOh Emily, I had no idea! I saw that there was something going on from your posts on facebook but never imagined it was cancer...I'm guessing breast cancer. We will definitely be adding you to our prayers. Please keep us posted!!!
