This is from my neice Robin:
> From Sandy Fox:
> Two years ago, August 26 2005, a dear friend of mine
> and co-worker Nicole Smith - Brown was diagnosed
> with breast cancer at the age of 27. Strong and
> vibrant she went through the double mastectomy as
> well as an aggressive round of chemotherapy. She
> continued to have a smile on her face and always
> looked beautiful every time I saw her despite the
> many reconstructive surgeries she had to go through.
> She was out of work for nearly a year when she
> finally had the "go ahead" from her Dr. to come
> back. We were so happy to have her back and looked
> forward to the future with her here at Pacesetter.
>
> After only being back to work for ~ 3 weeks, Nicole
> had gone for one of her routine checks and rec'd
> some devastating news that her cancer had come back,
> this time in her lung. Within a week, she was back
> in the hospital where they removed the spot and
> other suspicious areas. Again, she always remained
> positive and never ever lost her smile. She had to
> go through another round of chemo. She began
> looking into holistic doctors and tried "the switch"
> to organic foods and all natural products. Her
> monthly scans were coming up clean. Her hair was
> growing back and of course, that beautiful smile is
> from ear to ear. She has just recently remarried
> and proclaims this man (Jim Brown) is her soul mate
> and her angel. He has never missed a Dr. Appt,
> which speaks for itself. He coordinates everything
> with her and helps raise her son and his two
> daughters as a loving family. God has blessed both
> of them to have each other as his daughter is in
> cancer remission at this time.
>
> On Monday, August 27 I rec'd an email that Nicole’s
> latest scan showed her "tumor" count was up. They
> did x-rays and MRI's, only to discover the cancer is
> now in her brain, esophagus and collarbone. They
> immediately started radiation treatments on her
> entire brain and will work their way down to her
> esophagus and her collar bone as soon as they feel
> they can. Nicole is not asking for flowers, gifts,
> money (although, you can imagine how expensive this
> all is) or food. She is asking that all come
> together and pray for her and her family. Any
> church, parish, kingdom hall, TV Evangelist that you
> can think of where she can be put on their prayer
> list is all she wants. Please , Please take a
> moment to say a little prayer for her and her
> family. Please share this email with anyone you
> feel would greatly appreciate.
>
> Nicole's faith is strong and she will continue
> fighting with that beautiful smile.
