The reason for Pritchard's Progress!

Hello Everyone! Paul and I have created Pritchards’ Progress to keep all our loved ones (family and friends) informed on our health issues. Paul has Heart issues with upcoming doctor appointments, and I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer (Inflammatory Breast Cancer). Because of this……..It will not be easy to answer all the phone calls and text messages from our family and friends. There are not enough hours in the day to spend time with everyone on updates and procedures. We love you all so much, and do not want you to worry about us. Also, we do not want to insult anyone! We are praying that you will understand and forgive us if you have found out through FACEBOOK about our health. ******************************​********************** We have been hearing concerns about my condition, upcoming treatments, and surgery, so here is a little update. I went to Dr. Jamie Kauffman on May 1st , who (on that same day) referred me to a clinic in Moberly to have a mammogram and ultrasound. She saved my life. She did not mess around with antibiotics; she knew what to do and sent me that day to get tests. May 9th, we were introduced to my surgeon, Dr. Suppes, who did a biopsy in her office. May 14th We had another appointment with Dr. Suppes to tell us the plan. May 16th, I was schedule for a PET scan and Echo tests. May 18th, We found out I have stage III of IBC from Dr. Honeycutt. She talked with us for over two hours outlining the upcoming months of Chemo-surgery-radiation. We are blessed to have her. May 22nd was set for the port-a-cath surgery with Dr. Suppes May 23rd is set for the bone density tests May 24th will be the first chemo treatment with Dr. Honeycutt. This is probably enough information for now. Please realize that we love you all and will be updating you through this Facebook website! Hugs and love to all!
