Tuesday 12/27 Update
Because momma was so weak and confused, daddy took her back to Little Rock and got in with an oncologist there today. They admitted her today and she will likely be hospitalized for a week or so. While there, they can get going on the radiation and chemotherapy. Keep her in your prayers.

Dear Tara, I write this with total compassion for what you are going through. I have just finished 5 months of chemo treatments for breast cancer and as tough as it was, it wasn't as hard as watching my mother go through it 13 years ago. She is one of my best friends and I admire and look up to her beyond description and it was very difficult to watch her go through such a horrible ordeal.BUT... my mother is a survivor and Teri is too. There is so much that I want to share with you about the trials that I have just gone through. Three doctors misdiagnosed me... it was my husbands persistance that kept me going. We switched doctors and fell absolutely in love with both my surgeon and oncologist. You mentioned that your mom did not like her oncologist...please remember....God wants you to treat your body as a temple and if you ( or your mom) don't feel comfortable with a doctor, then God will lead you to another one. I have no doubt that God has given me a story to tell, and someone in my path will be helped by it. Almost every time that I have been in a waiting room for the last 5 months ( and that is alot of waiting rooms) , I have been able to share my story and witness to someone that I would have otherwise been unable to witness to. It is incredible how my view on life has been changed. The last 5 months were beyond tough,but with prayer from my friends, family, church and community,I made it through it and came through it with a stronger faith than I already had. It's amazing and awesome how our God works!! God has a plan for you and your family as well. This is just a bend in the road. All through my treatment, I have kept this in mind... that God has placed me in this marathon, and I will stand up for Him and keep my faith and when the race is done, He will say " well done my good and faithful servant." Please tell Teri to keep her faith and walk the path set before her. I am praying for her. I understand , also , how you feel as a daughter. It is a strange, scary path to be thrown on. But remember, these are the times that God will carry you. Just ask for His help. There will be times that Teri just doesn't feel good so trust her when she says she doesn't feel like company. It makes you both mentally and physically exhausted and this just takes time to heal. I have surgery in Jan. and then 6-8 weeks of radiation. I will be praying for all of you and will be checking your website. Sending many prayers your way.... Lori Everett
