Curing Kayla

The doctor reviewed Kayla Bittick’s PET/CT scan results with us today and we got the best news we could have hoped for, Kayla is CANCER FREE!!! 🙏👏

We are so incredibly grateful for everyone who has prayed and supported her through this! We couldn’t be more happy!

After the scariest experience of her life, spending 5-6 days a week at MD Anderson & TCH for several months, Kayla was faced with many obstacles and conquered every single one:

- 25 External Beam Radiation Therapy Sessions
- 144 hours of internal radiation. Consisting of 88 internal rad pulse sessions called Brachytherapy. This was extremely difficult to get through.
- Chemotherapy every week almost an entire day
- 40+ IVF prep shots to her stomach
- An abdominal egg retrieval to preserve her dream of having children
- Hundreds of doctors appointments
- Dozens of scans

Kayla is my hero. When we first learned she had a Glassy cell type of Cervical cancer, there was a numbing amount of fear after we did research into it. But Kayla is a fighter. She’s faced this incredibly foggy and terrifying journey with such grace, positivity, strength and faith. It was sad, but truly inspiring to witness. She has had a tremendous amount on her plate this year, but she never gave up being Kayla. She stayed positive and persevered. She almost looked physically unaffected by treatment (she was one of the “lucky” ones to not lose her hair from her chemo) but believe me, she was hurting inside and out. Cancer took things away from her that she can never have back, but in this process we learned that it can’t take away love. Thank you to everyone who helped us through this 💪

Benefit for Kayla Bittick was an absolute success!!! Kayla felt so incredibly loved today. I have lots to say about it, I’ll post about it tomorrow when we get the final details on everything.

To update everyone on how Kayla is doing after the incident at the benefit, she’s doing fine now and asleep. For those that weren’t there, she got a little overheated and passed out. Some friends took her to our house, gave her an IV and she started feeling better. Treatment has left her very weak, but she is done with treatment now and on the road to healing!
