Amber Groves Fund

On March 28, 2014, Amber was diagnosed with a very rare form of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid cancer. This type of cancer accounts for only 3-4% of all thyroid cancers. On July 15, Amber underwent a 4-hour surgery, which included a thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection. The surgery was more extensive than the surgeon had anticipated. The cancer had escaped the lymph nodes and the surgeon had to work diligently to remove all traces of cancer in Amber’s neck.   On top of all of this, Amber learned through a needle biopsy that the cancer has spread to her sternum. The doctors will now attempt radiation therapy in order to stop the rumors growth and hopefully kill all the cancer cells. Unfortunately, this is not a cure and Amber will live with this cancer for the rest of her life. As you can imagine, medical bills are piling up. Travel expenses and hotel accommodations are a definite part of their future.  Please consider making a contribution to support Amber, her husband Wayne, and their two young children as they travel down this unexpected path God has laid out for them. Above all, please pray for this family.
