On behalf of Friends of Concitta, we felt it was best to share this story from our dear Concitta herself:

In true Concitta fashion, I had all of these poetic/creative ways I wanted to share this news, but the reality is...there's no real way to do that - especially when you're in the midst of.

Three weeks ago I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer, specifically Endometrial.
On Wednesday (11/2/22), I was scheduled to have surgery to completely remove the cancer. While the surgery itself was successful. there were complications immediately after that landed me in the ICU with a battery of tests. Thursday was uneventful and plans were being made for my release. On Friday morning I went into distress and had to have a rapid response team called - worst and scariest experience of my life.

As my sister and I recapped the experience many hours later, we realized that things had taken such a turn that in those moments, we completely forgot that I was actually in the hospital for cancer. How crazy is that? My *wonderful * team of healthcare professionals kept reporting that I was not in the hospital for the reason I CAME on the hospital. There's a life message in there somewhere...

My immediate thought when I received this diagnosis was 'it is well.' It is such a sad and unfortunate experience, and as I am human, I have definitely had my momentsof grief and of distress. I don't offen *publicly* share my health journey, but I've been through SO much that facing this just made me weary. I immediately and constantly have prayed for my spirit to remain in tact no matter what the outcome, and I am grateful that it hasn't been affected. I've been keeping the Healthcare team in stitches and Iin good cheer.

I had so many plans for me and my business during this season, but alas, I will sit down and heal, and wait for test results, and heal, and be still and let God cover and lead me, and heal.

I don't have this at all - I have completely given this battle over to God to allow him to fight it for me. I have done everything in my power to create a positive outcome and I have faith that it is already done. My family, friends, and Sorors have been SO supportive in praying for me, interceding for me when my grief would not allow me to pray on my own, and simply covering the gaps in every way possible. They are currently collecting donations to help with things like meals and expenses during my recovery. What a time to be an entrepreneur. Every little bit is warmly received and greatly appreciated.

The truth is, I don't know how to have cancer, and I don't know how to have whatever this weird thing that's causing me to overstay my welcome in this hospital - who would!? All I know is that I am grateful for God and the love and goodwill I've sown - it is coming back to me tenfold and I feel incredibly supported and loved. Thank you.
