After the incredible response we got when we shared Amos’s condition on social media, we decided we need a better way to update those who want to follow this journey. Thankfully websites are my specialty. I will post daily updates here. First, we want to save the feeling we got when we read all your comments so we are adding them on this blog post. The comments are still coming in through Facebook and Instagram. We even had a friend, Jef Rawls come up with a new hashtag and we used it to name this site. #teamamos
Original Facebook/Instagram Post
“We found out Sunday that my sweet husband has Cancer. I’m so sorry to those of you who are close to us and are finding out for the first through social media. Spreading the word to everyone we love has been difficult, but we want you to know of the love and support we have felt and the miracles we have seen. Although he is in advanced stages, he is strong and will be fighting through this. We appreciate the prayers and fasting that have started already.”

- paintandglossI’m so sorry to hear this. My father is currently on his 3rd round of chemo. The advances in cancer treatment in the last year are incredible. (He says he feels better now than he has in the last year.) I read a study yesterday detailing how singing can assist in fighting cancer as the positive energy created within one’s body helps to make the antibodies to fight the cancer cells. So encourage him to sing his heart out and visualize his antibodies destroying his cancer cells!
