    Becky and Andrew Baruth

    We have been married for 15 years. We have two children, one boy age 11 and one girl age 6.

    I have been an independent business owner since October 2016. I work with new or expanding families, providing in-home support and education during a major life transition.

    Andrew is an Associate Professor of Physics at Creighton University.

    I was diagnosed with stage 3 aggressive breast cancer in May 2018. I completed 3 months of IV chemotherapy, three different drugs over the summer of 2018. I had a bilateral mastectomy and 11 lymph node removal in Oct 2018. Severe cording resulted from lymph node surgery. Due to poor pathologic response to chemo, I was recommended additional treatment. I completed 28 rounds of radiation in Dec 2018/Jan 2019. Then 6 months of oral chemo completed in Aug. 2019. Bilateral Diep flap reconstruction in Oct 2019. Surgery for thyroid removal in Dec. 2019.

    My husband, Tim, and I have been married for 15 incredible years. We were blessed with 3 daughters, Brooklyn (11), Lydia (10), & Adylin (8). We currently reside in Omaha.

    I was diagnosed with HER2+ invasive ductal carcinoma in June 2018. At that time I underwent 3 months of IV chemotherapy. Following chemotherapy, another area was tested with positive results for cancer just below the skin tissue.

    In November 2018 I underwent a double mastectomy where they removed 22 lymph nodes with 15 nodes testing positive for cancer. In January 2019 I began my 33 rounds of radiation therapy and kadcyla immunotherapy via IV. I completed radiation in February 2019 and kadcyla in October 2019. I currently am undergoing PT and OT for severe radiation fibrosis.

    Despite the rollercoaster of events over the last 1 1/2 years, my husband and I are blessed with the power of prayer and amazing support from family and friends.
