March 2025 UPDATE:
Hello, loved ones! A brief update on my cancer journey.
First, a note to the anonymous donors who have contributed to this GoFundMe page:
Dear Anonymous Friend & Donor,
Words cannot express my sincere gratitude for your incredible generosity and support. Although you may be unknown to me, our Heavenly Father knows you by name and how you have blessed me. Your generous donation to my GoFundMe campaign has brought an overwhelming sense of relief during my cancer journey. Your kindness has deeply touched my family, and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
With heartfelt appreciation, Andy and Teresa
Now back to my update…
The past three months have been filled with surprise visits from my high school buddies, rides with friends to chemo treatments, a yard clean-up day, and a trip to NRB in Grapevine, TX!
Medical Update
I have completed four rounds of chemo infusion with minimal side effects; however, nausea lingers three to four days after each treatment. I have noticed that the chemo tends to drain my energy as each round has a cumulative effect. Two more rounds to go! My doctors requested a PET scan and an MRI to see how my spine is healing and responding to my infusions. I’ll give another update soon. Please continue to pray for my body to gain strength, ability, and stamina.
Spiritual Journey
Looking back at the past 4 months, I’ve been navigating a health journey that took an unexpected turn with a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Reflecting on this time, I’m finding strength in my faith and the incredible support surrounding me. I’m deeply moved by the outpouring of love and encouragement from family, friends, and my church community. The prayers and words of comfort have been a constant source of peace. I’m choosing to trust in God’s plan and find solace in scriptures like Psalm 23 and Isaiah 41:10. Your prayers for strength and healing are greatly appreciated as I continue on this path.
Love in Christ with heartfelt appreciation,
Andy and Teresa
