“Brad and I received the results from my scans. It’s not what we had hoped for. I wish I could say that I’m in remission, or that the cancer has vanished. But instead, this is what we were told. Basically, the cancer has gone wild,” Angie explained. “I have new tumors in my brain and the old ones are growing. The tumors in both my lungs are progressing and growing again. I have three tumors in my liver. It’s in my lymph nodes. And low and behold, it’s in my bones, my breast bone and both of my femurs.”

“Yes, we were shocked too. I knew things were strange because I have to take headache medicine, Excedrin and Aleve, twice a day to stop the headaches and body pain I’ve been having. But I wouldn’t have ever guessed this. Apparently, immunotherapy was not for me,” she continued.

“We aren’t sure what my next medical step will be. I think a biopsy of my liver, then possibly more radiation, and more chemo. I’ll do whatever God leads me to do. I appreciate all of your incredible prayers. Please continue to be kind and forgiving. Please do not get mad at God. This is all part of his plan. He can heal if he wants to. But, we must praise him no matter what. God is not through with me yet!” she added.

She tearfully explained that she and her mother had a brief rift after she gave birth to her third son, 2-year-old Broncs. Mackenzie suffered from postpartum depression, and her mom did not give her the type of emotional support that she was looking for at the time.

“I wanted her to feel the pain I was feeling and it was like she didn’t care so I just started sending her horrible messages telling her I can’t stand her and I hate her and I wish, just bad things would happen to her,” Mackenzie said, wiping away tears.

Mackenzie said she never got the chance to apologize to her mom before she was diagnosed with cancer. Ever since then, Mackenzie has been trying to make up for lost time while also being a supportive daughter.
Our thoughts are with the McKee and Douthit families during this difficult time.
