Wright/Cromwell news

Salutations, friends: I am now embarking on a journey that I am not looking forward to. As of a few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 triple-negative aggressive breast cancer, so I will be starting chemotherapy and getting a PET scan. Chemo will be once a week after that. I had to give up subbing for now, which hurts, as I love the students and staff and will really miss them. I never imagined I’d get cancer, but I caught it early and it is what it is, so I’m trying to stay positive. Thanks for all the words of encouragement and prayers, as they are appreciated.

Sarah Levinski and I attended the Kettle River Spring Gathering at Our Redeemer in Pine City April 15.
