Dear Family & Friends,
I HATE CANCER!! There, now i said it. Most of you know about my battle
with Stage III Breast Cancer. it was an utter shock to my husband and i,
and an overwhelming trial for our family. After chemo, a mastectomy, radiation,
more surgeries, etc., etc., i am grateful to say i am now in remission.
(Yipee!! Except for those yucky pills i still have to take for YEARS which give
me menopausal symptoms—let me tell you, Hot Flashes are Horrid!) Cancer
was hell, but i’ve survived the battle. i will be forever grateful to all those
who i know and love, and all the many that i didn’t even know who prayed for
our family, and helped us in any way.
Now i’m fighting cancer again, i’m just not the one who is sick. My long-time,
dear friend of 20 years, Natalie Lemon Lundberg, has been diagnosed with Stage
IV Cholangiocarcinoma Cancer that has spread from her bile ducts to her liver,
pancreas, lungs, and at least 3 sets of her lymph nodes. She just turned 34
years old.
Can you please help her to be able to MAKE MEMORIES with her family?
Anything and everything would be appreciated. Just because you don’t know
Natalie, doesn’t mean you can’t empathize for the situation that she and her
family are bravely facing. Her time is short…
For however long Natalie has with her family, which we hope is a long time yet,
i have a goal, that i hope you can help with. My goal is that she have
the opportunity, financially, to do all that she wants to with her family, in
the time she has left. Go to DisneyLand, like she’s always dreamed of;
take trips to the Hoogle Zoo; purchase airline tickets for her extended family,
most of whom live out of state; pay for gas and car maintenance so that they
can go all the places they need to safely; etc.
Natalie and i grew up together in Littleton, Colorado and through all the time
and changes that life brings, have remained very close. Currently i live
in Henrieville, Utah, a small town near Bryce Canyon National Park, and Natalie
and her family live in Spanish Fork, Utah, roughly about 4 hours from each
other. She and her husband, Ted have been married 5 years, and have a 4
year old son, Colton, and a 1 year old daughter, Ella. They are an
amazing family! Natalie has been lucky enough to pursue her dream of
becoming a photographer, despite her young family. (Here is her website, you
can see for yourself how gifted she is! http://www.natalielundberg.
) Unfortunately though, there are some things in Life we cannot
foresee. Please help, this young mother and her family anyway you can.
Thank you,
Sincerely~
Logann Marx Eagar,
Natalie’s Sister (in all but blood)
