A message from Bev

This picture of Wanda and Senator Jon Kyl (the other Arizona Senator...) was taken a couple of years ago in Washington DC at a President's Dinner. We had a wonderful time hanging out with a lot of the political types and seeing the city. Wanda and I have such crazy schedules that it was just too much fun to get away, learn more about our country and spend time in a wonderful city.

Love you girl, hang tough.

We are all praying for you. Bev.

This picture says it all...

AWESOME NEWS!! - Surgery Next Thursday 11/6!

We're not sure when having surgery became great news...but this is!

The biopsy results came back today and the tumor's in her abdomen are a different type of cancer than breast cancer! So, surgery is scheduled for next Thursday 11/6 to remove them and get Wanda on the path to treatment!!!

Your prayers are working!! The chances of having two types of cancer at one time are (presumably) low. And, yet here it is!We give thanks for this opportunity. And, we ask that you continue to pray and send positive thoughts for Wanda as we enter another phase in the battle.

Warriors, Wanda is winning this war one battle at a time! Wanda is an amazingly strong, courageous and incredible woman! So, celebrate this victory...and continue the fight!!

Wild WIC's LOVE Wanda!

From Alaska with LOVE…

I had a few pictures of Wanda from the NAWIC Summer Conference she planned this summer. We all love her so much and are here to do whatever she needs us to! Please let me know if there is anything I can do and send her my love! - Amy Webb-Vasquez

Biopsy is done, Wanda is at home resting

Good evening! Wanda underwent her abdominal biopsy late this afternoon. She was in recovery until about 7:00pm and was discharged for home. Missi got to talk to her and said she sounded worn out.

We should be receiving some results by weeks end.

So... keep the prayers and positive thoughts going in earnest. Don't stop...intensify the assault!! Let's put cancer on the run! Right now!!!

This is an important and anxious week for Wanda, Rich, Missi and all of us Warriors!!!

Powerful Women's Motto:

Live your life in such a way that

when your feet hit the floor in the morning,

Satan shudders & says...

'Oh shit....she's awake!!!'

------------------------------

Abdominal biopsy tomorrow, Monday 10/27

Wanda will be undergoing a biopsy on her abdomen on Monday, October 27. This is in an effort to identify the type of cancer that is in the area.

Please keep her in your prayers and we will keep you up to date as results are known.

Thanks you all!!

Call to Action: Prayer is crucial to this battle!

Does God Answer Prayer? Researcher Says 'Yes' -- Does God or some other type of transcendent entity answer prayer? The answer, according to a new Arizona State University study published in the March journal Research on Social Work Practice, is 'YES.'

A message from Shelli

Thanks for putting the blog together. It is great. I am forwarding some pics to you. They are a little dated, since Bray was only about 6 months old, but it is the only recent ones we have... thanks again. Some friends of ours whose daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at age 5 used a site called www.caringbridge.com, if you are ever at a loss for how to explain something...they have lots of helpfull tips. Please let us know if you all need anything at all. Know we are thinking about you and praying for you and for all of us to continue the strength this family has. Love,Shelli

Cancer, you picked the wrong broad...

I love to tell this story! The Christmas before Melissa (Missi) and I were married, we went on a Wild family vacation to Vail, CO! I had the chance to ride the ski lift up with my soon to be mother-in-law and we had a great ride...until we had to get off. All I remember is falling...and being clobbered by my mother-in-law's ski poles. Oh sure, she said it was to keep me down so I wouldn't get hit by the chair lift. I think it was an "alpha dog" moment ... lol!

I really have to feel bad for this cancer stuff, because you really picked the wrong broad to mess with! She is a fighter! She is one of the strongest women that I will ever know! And, she has the love of family and friends that would do anything and everything for her at the drop of a hat! And, while it will take every single one of us working together..we will beat this thing!

I love you, Wanda! And, while I don't want to go on a ski lift with you anytime soon (still suffering from the post traumatic stress) I am in this right beside you! We all are!!!

The first recruits...

We will be fighting with our Nana on every step of this road! She is our hero and a very, very strong lady! WE LOVE YOU, NANA!!!
