Kelley Buxton

I received this email from Ashley today. I know some of you did as well but there are probably many who did not. Please let's pull together and help Kelley with our faith.

Dear friends and family,

I know that I didn't come close to including everyone in this message, but I thought that through some of you, you could help spread the word. As many of you know, my mom Kelley had colon cancer about 12 years ago. She had it removed and has since received annual colonoscopies, etc. to stay up on any possible progressions. This year they found a polyp on her colon (the type that makes cancer). She also just had cancer removed from her nose. Through a long and short series of events, they have discovered that she now has cancer in her uterus. It is an aggressive form of cancer that spreads very rapidly, needing only one cell to grow and progress. She will be having surgery to remove the cancer and all other female organs on Monday Nov. 4th. She will then possibly be going through radiation and/or chemotherapy to be rid of it completely. We will know more about that in the coming months. She hates making people worry and so I know that she has not made an effort to let everyone know, but I know that she is scared herself. Her family is very prone to cancer. Gregg is also very scared and emotional. The family will be going to the temple Saturday evening (Nov. 2nd) and will also begin a 24 hr. fast that night. If you would like to join us in fasting and prayer, we would be so grateful. I know that the Lord works in mysterious ways that we do not understand. I pray that we can have the faith required for Him to work His miracles at this time, whatever they may be. Love you all. Please share with your friends and family that may be concerned. If you need to reach my mom her number is801-710-3899 or their home phone is 801-732-8884. Thanks so much,

Ashley
