Diagnosis: On April 13, 2006, Kathleen was diagnosed with breast cancer. On April 27th, Kathleen underwent a full mastectomy at Mercy Hospital in Dubuque. The sentinal node biopsy and axillary node dissection confirmed the presence of invasive breast cancer.

We have felt God's hands working through friends and family. We have been guided to our decisions concerning treatment, and we are at peace with each choice. Thank you for all your prayers, information, support and thoughtfulness which has uplifted our spirits and filled us with some joy during a difficult time.

Prayer Request: We specifically pray today that God will guide surgeons Dr. Obbink and Dr. Kennedy with wisdom, discernment and competence. May God bless their hands and minds to work diligently on Kathleen during surgery.
