Michelle’s Fight with Breast Cancer

Updated - 3/15/23

Dear family and friends, as most of you know the past three weeks have been the most difficult time of Michelle’s life. The chemo knocked her white blood cells to basically zero, she caught a common cold, that turned into pneumonia then Had a stroke while in hospital. ICU for 16 days, now in a step down unit in hospital. From there she is looking at 2-3 weeks inpatient intense Physical Therapy.

Hello friends, my name is Deb... aka Michelle's mom and Savannah's Nana. My daughter is 32 years old and has a heart of a Lion. She would do anything for anybody, day or night. She is married to Brandon Riedel, and they have a beautiful happy 1-year-old, Savannah. She has been diagnosed with very aggressive stage 3 breast cancer. She is starting a severe heavy dose of chemo and immunotherapy for 20 weeks, then surgery and radiation. She has a very loving family that will help her through this and believes in her God and his power.

We all know the financial cost and burden this will cause. However, we, as her family, are trying to get the ball rolling so they don't have to think about the costs.
