Wendy is in the middle of immunotherapy; her 2nd treatment is coming up in August. Her physicians are doing some more testing to see how everything is going. She tells us she's feeling good and planning on being on the softball field at the end of October or beginning of November. That's her hope and her goal. She said, "That's what I'm planning on!" Let's continue to keep Wendy in our thoughts and prayers to keep up "feeling good" through the healing process and treatments.

Wendy is having immunotherapy this week and then heading to the midwest to hang in the cooler weather with family. We were able to spend a tiny bit of time with her because she rode her bicycle to the field during Saturday practice. So good to see Wendy out and about!

We caught up with Wendy yesterday afternoon. We understand that her schedule was tedious. Rich and Wendy drive to Mayo on the east side of Phoenix each weekday for her radiation treatment. Just another week left when treatments will be complete. There will be a 3 month break before what's up next; evaluation for the treatment plan. They have arranged to travel back to Minnesota to spend time with family and to enjoy "cooler weather".
Wendy is grateful to everyone who reached out to her in one way or another; text, calls, cards, and more. The softball family has helped her walk through this new "part of life", as she would describe the lung cancer and treatment.
Let's keep Rich and Wendy in our thoughts and prayers in the last week of treatment and for their travels to the mid-west.

We talked with Wendy, a NL and HEAT player, yesterday. She let us know that she and Rich are feeling more settled now because they now have steps scheduled in her treatment plan. You will recall, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Starting Tuesday they will go to Mayo each weekday for some weeks for radiation. She will also have a port implanted ready for her chemo treatments.
Wendy also wanted us to tell you, friends and members of this softball community, that they feel comforted and supported. Your expressions of care through cards, communications, prayers and more have given them a great gift they truly appreciate. Wendy tells us they are doing fine so far and have no immediate other needs.
Let's continue to support them with prayer and keep Rich and Wendy in our thoughts as they go through the daily drive to Mayo for necessary treatment to battle this cancer.

Let's continue our support for Wendy. Our last communication we provided information about her upcoming procedure; a bronchoscopy with biopsies. She let us know the diagnosis and a little about what comes next given the findings. There is a growth in her lungs with cancer. Her next appointment is with an oncologist and a future PET or MRI scan.
We were able to take time after her game Thursday. We talked at the field because she came Thursday to be with her team and coach 3rd base.
Let's focus our thoughts and prayers for Wendy and Rich as they continue on this journey.
Thank you, Wendy, for what you bring to our club, the leagues, and players. You are a gamer and your presence is an amazing highlight! We pray quality and seamless treatment plans, God's comfort and peace for you and Rich.

We talked a bit with Wendy at the field yesterday about her illness. This week she is scheduled to be seen at Mayo and undergo a procedure that will provide a diagnosis for her lung condition. Let's keep our thoughts on and prayers for Wendy and Rich while they navigate this journey through health care and treatment options. All the best for you Wendy!
