Roller Coaster of a Day

This is by far the most emotional day I and my family has ever been through. After the good news the surgeon came out and said the the lung was full of cancer an he was not sure that he could get it all. He tried. He succeeded. He succeeded in removing the whole left lung and all the caner cells. Jane is now caner free. They did move it up to stage III cancer which means she has to go through chemotherapy in 1-2 months. More updates are on her care page courtesy of Shawna. She is now resting in her own room. She is in pain but cancer free. She is surrounded by her wonderful family, Mark, Sarah, and Shawna. They have been through a lot over the past few weeks but have stuck together and are hopefully seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. There are too many people to thank for the wonderful words, prayers, and positive thoughts. For this we are truly grateful. We are also extremely grateful for Dr. Shen who did the surgery and worked through adversity to remove the whole lung. He is truly an angel on this earth. We still have a long road ahead but we know with the support that Jane has we will make it through. We love each and everyone of you and thanks again from the bottom of our hearts. God Bless.

Great News!!

Just hear from Sarah and we got the news that we wanted to hear. They found no extra cancer outside the lung and they proceeded to take out the lower lobe of Jane's left lung. It is a major surgery but it is the surgery we wanted to have. She will be in recovery for 4-5 days and then hopefully come home. Thanks to all the people out there for the positive thoughts and prayers. It is great to know that people are out there praying for the Truebloods. Check back to Jane's care page for updates from Sarah and Shawna.

Carepages

Shawna and Sarah have set up a Carepages website for Jane. As of right now they are in Rochester, MN at Mayo Clinic talking with doctors about what to do. All ready we have had positives today with surgery upcoming and a good prognosis. Here is a link to the Carepages website for Jane. Please keep her and the whole family in your prayers for continued good news and success where ever it may lie. Thanks to all of you for the kinds words.

Thoughts and Prayers

First off, if you haven't heard the news about the family, Jane (Sarah's mom) was diagnosed with lung cancer last Thursday. It is small and they are working out options at this moment. It was a shock to all of our systems and we are working to process the news. Jane is a very strong woman and her and Mark along with the rest of us are going to get through this. It is amazing to see and hear the kind and loving people that are out there giving their thoughts and prayers to all of us. It has made this a lot easier. I have not been that religious of a person but it is amazing what a traumatic event can do to change all of that. I have not cried and prayed so much over the past month then in all of my life. There are too many people to thank that have helped Sarah and I through this. People are willing to do anything to help and for that we are thankful. Please look back often for the good news updates and also of the girls. They are helping Sarah and I get through this. Please continue to pray for Jane and Mark and the process that they are about to go through. With all the good thoughts and prayer we are going to come out on top.

God only gives us what we can handle. With that I know that we can handle this and beat it.

Thanks again.

Lance, Sarah, Ava, and Ella.

God Bless

Breakfast with a Princess and a Trying couple of weeks.

Last weekend Sarah and I took the girls to Jordan Creek Town Center for Breakfast with a Princess that benefited the Children and Families of Iowa. It was a time for the girls to meet all the Disney Princesses, get their hair, make up and nails done, and get breakfast from Panera. The girls had a wonderful time getting autographs and pictures with all the princesses. I on the other had about had an anxiety attack with hundreds of little girls, their moms, and grandmas running around and standing in line. Sarah got me through it and it was a fun time for the girls.

On a side note please keep our family in your prayers. We have had a very trying couple of weeks and with news tonight we are needing thoughts and prayers more then ever. This next few months will be a very trying time for us and we love all of you out there. Please keep in touch.
