Tough News

We found out yesterday that Liz has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She recently found a small lump which was biopsied last week. We are meeting the doctor this Friday to learn the path forward. Our initial meeting last Thursday with the oncologist was very optimistic. We know that a tough road is ahead but with your prayers we are confident we will get through this.

After an initial reaction I am guessing you are wondering what you can do. Below are some options:
- Post comments on this blog - they provide a way for you to express your feelings and share in this journey with others
- Check the blog often - this is how we intend to keep everyone in the loop
- Send thoughts of encouragement and support to Liz through email (lizdevoll@gmail.com) or snail mail (5604 Castlebury Court, Burke, VA 22015)
- Check out www.komen.org for more information about breast cancer awareness and prevention and for tips about how to support loved ones who are fighting breast cancer

  1. Liz, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Wish we lived closer so we could be there to help in whatever way we can. We know the love and support of nearby family and friends will help you and the boys make it through this challenge. All our love, Sharon, Victor and Adam
