Are You Serious???

It just seems as if the fun in the Malone clan just cannot stop. We spent most of last year worrying over Debbie and now that she's getting better, we find out the other day that my sister, Shelly, has stage 3 breast cancer. That hit Debbie and I very hard, seeing how young Shelly is.

So we've been praying for her and how we can help. Debbie gets the impression that we need to drive up there and allow Debbie to work on Shelly and help her body get prepared for the surgery ahead. So next weekend we are going up there. We were able to work out an agreement with Cat so Madyson gets to come with us too.

So once again we are calling upon friends and family to pray for Shelly and her family (husband + 5 kids all under 10). They really could use it.

Hi Mike and Debbie-
I am so sorry to hear about your sister. I have 2 friends that have/had breast cancer- one was diagnosed a year ago and has finished all her treatments and is now cancer free-(only 29 when diagnosed). The other is in her 30's and just got diagnosed a few months ago (stage 3 breast cancer) and is doing her treatments now. They have great blogs if your sister is interested....

I found your cute family on another ward members blog. I hope you don't mind me "spying" on your family.
