Mother of 10 battling cancer

   Amber Prigge, military wife to Chris and mother to 10 children, was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer on January 1, 2017.  Her cancer was discovered on New Year's Eve when two of her daughters took her to the emergency room for severe cramping in her lower abdomen.  A CT scan showed that a large tumor was almost entirely blocking her colon and was causing cramping when she tried to eat.  At the time her husband was working a job several states away while she and the kids tried to sell the house and move to be with him.  This was all put on hold as decisions had to be made about Amber's health.
    In January, 2017 Amber began treatment.  She opted to avoid chemotherapy in favor of alternative treatments in Branson, Missouri.  This treatment showed encouraging results the first month. As her immune system strengthened there were steady improvements in her ability to eat, indicating a shrinking tumor.  During treatment, several more tumors were found in her body where the cancer had already metastasized.  An added difficulty was that the children could not all be with her because they lived four hours from the clinic.  Amber was making frequent trips with a few of her children back and forth to the clinic every few weeks.  By July it became difficult to keep up the cost  of the treatments and the traveling back and forth.  Because of her improved health, it seemed that it would be ok to go less often for the treatments.  By December, 2017 she was going only once or twice a month.
    In April 2018, after her health began declining  and a PET scan, the family faced a terrible realization.  While she had indeed been improving in early 2017, easing up on the treatments had allowed her to backslide.  Chris and Amber decided that she needed to go back to the center for a long time of continuous treatment.  The family would just have to figure out how to cover the cost.  It was evident that if Amber did not go back into treatment, the family would very likely lose her.  They also realized that the whole family needed to be there near the treatment center.
  Amber went back into the treatment center, but received the news from the doctors that the tumors had grown too large and there was nothing more that could be done.  At this point, they have brought her home where she is receiving hospice care.  Her children are able to be with her and lie next to her during these last days of her life here on earth.  In the words of Chris and Amber's oldest daughter, "In all this, we trust that God is sovereign and is in complete control, and we ask for your prayers.  We are thankful for each little blessing and praise God that He is doing  what is best..."
   I have put up this funding page for the Prigge family because there are so many needs, and so many expenses.  Their desire is to keep Amber home until God calls her to her eternal home.  Please consider giving any amount you are able to help offset the costs they have already incurred and also to support this family as they face the painful days ahead.  Thank you, and God bless.
