Cancer Anniversary

November 12, 2014 by Amelia

I’m reflecting on the initial phone call from Kedron and the cancer journey with Jen Ferguson at Soli Deo Gloria Sisterhood today. You can read the entire post here.

October 29, 2013 by Amelia

A few weeks ago, we heard the words you never want to hear. You have cancer. Kedron was diagnosed with pappilary thyroid cancer. Thankfully, this is a treatable form of cancer.
