THANK YOU! I found out at 37 years old that I too have breast cancer. My Drs were also optimistic that is was nothing because of my age and no family history of breast cancer. Unfortunately that was not that case. I will be starting my chemo treatments on 2/18/2010. I am so scared. I have two small boys, Michael 3, Alex 2. They never let me rest. I am so overwhelmed and don’t know HOW I AM GOING TO REST!
Thank you for sharing your story.

Kristina,
I don’t know if you remember me or not but I worked at the daycare years ago when Lauren was a toddler! I still have a picture of her and the other kids in my class at the daycare in my bible! I never would have recognized her, she is a beautiful girl.
I didn’t know your situation with cancer until I saw it on Monticellolive today. I am so sorry, but then again, you seem like such a strong person. I hope that everyday that goes by you enjoy it and spend as much time with your girls as you can!!!
With much love and prayers,
Meredith Mitchell Shirey

I first met Kristin Levi when I was her teacher at Monticello High School. She was a quiet, almost shy girl. She was very bright and quite talented. She possessed a calmness about her that I loved.

We reconnected last year on Facebook. I have since reconnected with many former students and her friends. They have shared their triumphs, joys, and sorrows over the past year.

When I first learned Kristian had Breast Cancer, I cried for her and her girls. Then I PRAYED! I prayed for Kristina. I prayed GOD would bless her with strength (physical and mental). I prayed GOD would connect her with the very best doctors that would give her the very best treatment humanly possible.

Then I witnessed some of the most amazing turn of events. I watched as hundreds if not thousands of people began presenting words and deeds of encouragement for Kristina. From the Facebook comments to the T-shirt designed by Shellley to the K on hands the day she takes her chemo to the prayer chains, it has been a blessing to witness all of the love and concern that has been showered on Kristina and her family.

Kristina has exhibited a steadfast calmness and unwavering faith that is usually only seen in more seasoned Christians. She has inspired me and my Faith. I am so blessed that I did something so simple as open a Facebook account.

I want everyone to know that Breast Cancer will NOT define Kristina Levi Thomas! It is simply a dip in the road GOD has presented for her. She WILL overcome by the Grace of GOD and the wonders of modern medicine and I am truly humbled to know her!
