Hi there- I am a friend of your dad’s from college and just picked up your recent diagnosis. I am so sorry that you are going through this and just want to let you know I am pulling for you. I hope to follow you on good days and bad days as you bravely conquer cancer. Say hi to your dad from me. Beth Gillin
Wow … Katie I don’t even know if you would remember me or my family … I’m Mrs Feldkamp to some, Wife to Jeff, Mom to Jake (with you in junior high at villa) Annie (SUA jr) Michael Mary and Nick (who was the cute little kindergarten boy that Jake would use as the “girl magnet in 8th grade”. That’s us — and again wow. Jeff and I both saw your mom’s post telling of your cancer diagnosis — which is unusual as we are rarely on FB and I don’t think have ever been at the same time. We were both moved by your moms message — we instantly felt for you and having several extra kids around showed them the gorgeous pic of the two of you she included….to which a couple of the HS kids asked “which one is she” … your mom will probably like that one! I have just logged onto your blog today. I wasnt sure what to expect and honestly was a little scared — that sounds completely ridiculous doesn’t it!!! My apology for that one. Anyway WOW again … you and your blog and your writing and sharing … it is AMAZING. I will visit often and PRAY ALWAYS and watch for other things we can do as well. You Go Girl! You courageous amazing girl!! You Rock!! And, we couldn’t agree with you more… Cancer Sucks!!
Hi Katie! I know your father because of work, and he is one of the greatest people I have ever met. I do not know you, but by reading your blog I know that you are a fighter that wont lose this battle. You are strong, and you have everything it takes to conquer! So remember that you are young women that is a total INSPIRATION to all of us, please keep sharing, I will visit every day!
From my side, I will be sending you good vibes and prayers
