... While watching your inspirational videos, I can only see the two letters, K & B. I now refer to them as "Kelly is Brave!" You're helping many by sharing your story. As a counselor, I give you credit for "cycling through" your emotions; it's important. I'm praying for Ray and ALL of your family and subscribers/viewers.

So glad for the update. I am a survivor of 4th stage throat cancer, 18 years ago. I prayed for you and Ray just about the whole time you were on. God does work miracles! Please continue to stay positive. You don’t know how much that means to Ray. I pray God gives you and Ray strength, knowledge and understanding. Please know that a lot of people are praying for Ray. I love you and y’all are on my mind.

The absolute frustration and confusion dealing with insurance companies is REAL! My daughter faced Colon Cancer at 18. Old enough to make medical decisions for herself and limit any involvement from us as parents but too young for doctors and insurance representatives to respect her choices. There is more to deal with than the physical. Praying for your family as well as Ray. ❤

I am in awe of you Kelly. Your attitude and courage are remarkable. Ray (and your girls) are so lucky to have you by their side guiding and encouraging them through this battle. Thank you for the update. I will continue to pray for Ray and you all.

Thank you for the update. I am a cancer survivor of 16 months. Sending prayers and hugs to you all.

So happy to hear that Ray's treatments have begun! The bureaucracy of medical insurance is shameful, but sounds like his doctor was a great champion on that front! It's hard but you are a strong, creative mama and you are approaching this with grace and understanding already! Keeping the balance for you and all the kids is so smart and some bits of joy as often as you can. Sending you all love & light! ❤🙏✨

Your reaction to the treatment room was pretty normal - you didn't want Ray to have to be there, but it is a healing room and now you understand. Of course all of us will continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We are all with you

Praying that through the Doctor's care and God's divine healing that Ray will be healed 100%. Kelly, when all of this is over you really should do a TED Talk. You are so inspiring.🙏

I am praying so hard for Ray, you and the girls, Kelly. I have a 28 year old son and when I heard about Ray I could only imagine myself in your shoes. Your strength and calm is awe-inspiring. Ray is so lucky to have such an amazingly strong and supportive momma. Keep doing what you're doing, honey. In God, all things are possible. Always trust that better days are ahead. Please know that Ray has an army of prayer warriors to help all of you through this fight. Along with prayers, sending you lots of love and positivity! ❤🙏

I was just telling my husband, who is a cancer survivor, that I was praying for a positive update from you about Ray so thank you for this. You guys will have rough days but they will get less and as Ray gets better, the good days will outnumber the rough ones. You are a brave lady and Ray is very much your son. 💕🙏🏻😇

It is sad that the health insurance companies are much more of a money making business than a personal health coverage. I'm happy to hear he is hanging in there. Continued prayers 🙏 for him and y'all.

As a 2 time breast cancer survivor I know what your family is facing. I had my first bout at 25 and I am still going strong at 68 and just celebrated my first great grandchild's birth. I will keep you all in my prayers and share with you the advice I was given all those years ago: fight, fight every day. Be your own defender and look to the future while caring for the present. Sending prayers and lots of LOVE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Waiting 10 weeks for approval is ridiculous especially for someone who needs therapy urgently. That said, I am glad they finally approved the immunotherapy. I admire you and everyone in your family for staying strong and positive even though there are bad days. I agree it's important to not let them overcome you. Sending best wishes your way.

Ray is on my prayer list. I pray for God to relieve him of this infirmity! Stay strong Mama!

There is no greater pain than losing a child, no matter the age, or seeing a loved one sick or suffering. My 41 year old son passed away suddenly this past July, and it was a horrific shock for our family. The pain and loss are beyond measure. May you find strength to endure the fight you and your son are facing.

I continually pray for Ray and the family, mom's do what they have to. There's people who are behind you, I for one and I appreciate the update 💜

Thank you for the update on Ray. Each day is a journey, a fight, and constant battle. I worked in Medical field for 37 yrs...insurance companies are a cancer themselves, doing everything possible to delay, deny, and question every move for patients. Just imagine the doctors & nurse's frustrations trying to help patient and there families. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you 🙏🙏🙏

I’m so glad someone was able to help you change your outlook! Please don’t ever feel bad or ashamed for showing a bit of anger or even distrust of the situation because those feeling will come and go and you have the right to process everything as you will. Our family is praying for yours every day!!

Many hugs for you Kelly and your family, you got this Ray!

I, too, am going thru cancer treatment....larynx cancer stage 4a. It's not an easy trek, but I can tell you, being positive is where it's at! My prayers for Ray as he goes thru this journey! My doctor gave me LOTS of anti-naseau meds and they really worked. Stay strong g Kelly and God bless you! I have 6 children and I am going thru this alone with the exception of one of my daughter in laws.

Thank you for the update. I was an ICU nurse for 35 years and being positive is essential . I saw so many patients that were given such devastating diagnosis come through and I can tell you much of it was their resolve to live. Praying and sending you positive thoughts ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻

That round room is a "ring of hope". Continued prayers to you all daily! Much love!

It was so nerve wrecking every time I took my Mom into the Cancer Clinic for blood work and test results. Thank goodness Covid wasn't a thing at the time. I couldn't imagine now what it would of been like if I would of had to drop her off at the door. My prayers and positive vibes go to Ray and your family.

I heard this the other day and maybe it was meant to share “a heart full of gratitude has no room for anything else.” I’m thankful for all the medications available to help Ray, I’m thankful for this horrible awful day lol that I’m here to share it with family. Know that we are all praying you thru the bad days and you got the good days. ❤

Prayers and hugs to you, Ray and the girls!🙏🙏🙏

Kelly, there is so much to learn from the powerful words that you shared in this video. Your decision to not let Ray's cancer define your life is amazing. We all have battles in our lives, and your inspirational words are a wonderful reminder to not let our battles define who we are or what our "normal" is. Such a timely message for me, and I'm sure for others, as well. I pray for strength, courage, wisdom and patience for you and ALL of your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Oh Momma..I asked a special person /group to add Ray (and you & family) to their prayers. My heart hurt knowing you couldn’t go into the hospital with Ray. No matter how old or grown our children are...they always need our support and love...and we always want be there with them and for them. You just take good care of your family...we got you.. in our hearts, good thoughts and prayers !! Thank you for keeping us updated 🙏♥️🤗

“Kelly is Brave” I love it 🥰 my thoughts and prayers are with you, Ray and your girls. Stay strong, Kelly. Thank you for the update. We are here for you🥰🥰

Hang in there, Kelly. We are with you. Prayers abound.

You are such a strong person Kelly…that’s where Ray gets his strength! Continued love, prayers, positive vibes, and healing to all of you! ❤️🙏

I was devastated when I learned in 2020 that my sister had breast cancer. Cancer was not common in my family so this took everyone by surprise. She had 4 months of chemo and had her rough days with the side effects. But, she stayed upbeat and maintained a positive attitude. I'm the oldest so I had to pull with everything I had the strength to be there for her. It wasn't about me, but her. Kelly, this will be behind Ray before you realize it, although right now it doesn't seem so. My sister's positive outlook gave not only her strength she needed, but also passed that strength to everyone in our family. She is now going on three years since it all began and she is living life large. She lost her husband of nearly 50 years last Thanksgiving. That strength she found to help her fight her cancer again came thru and gave her the will to continue living life as full as she can even after such a devastating loss. You're faith will get you thru. Your sharing will help so many others. I know it would have meant the world to me if I followed your journey while I was going thru my sister's. Thank you and God bless you and all your family. Especially Ray. I'm keeping the prayers forward for you.

We are all praying for ray! Thank you for the update. Ray u got this!!

It is exhausting....mentally, emotionally and physically. You are handling it just as you are supposed to. Be gentle with yourself. Keep staying positive and realize this is a marathon, not a sprint. Know we are all praying for Ray and all of you!

Thank you for the update. My heart goes out to Ray and the family. Continued prayers🙏🙏

You’re Amazing Kelly…an AWESOME Mom, an AWESOME PERSON and you stay positive. Our thoughts and prayers continue for you, Ray and the girls. Thank you for your strength and inspiration. You’re teaching all of us valuable lessons through all you’re going through and the courage, grace and attitude by which you meet this overwhelming challenge. You hang in there…we’re all with you. Thank you Kelly. Lots of love, big hugs, healing thoughts and prayers.

Bless Ray's heart ❤️. I will be putting him on our church's prayer list. Those hiccups, he must have been miserable. Send him the love of many from my home to yours for all of you.

You’re a great mom. Continued prayers and thoughts coming to you all.

When I was going through treatment and having a rough time my Dr. told me This to shall pass, I still think of this any time I’m having a hard time 20 years later!! ❤❤❤❤

Kelly, thank you so much for the update. I would imagine that the effort to stay so positive can sometimes be absolutely exhausting! Just know that when it seems overwhelming and like too much energy to do that, we are standing in that gap with positive, healing thoughts and energy, loving prayers, and sincere wishes for Ray and for you and the girls. Much love to you all! 💙💓

Thank you for the update on Ray. Prayers will continue to be ongoing. For all of you. I wish I could give you a big hug! Your strength is shining through, so stay strong and hang in there!

Prayers of peace and comfort for all of you. May the next update have miraculous news. ❤️

My cancer experience was life changing. I felt alone in a dark forest with small rays of light poking thru the canopy. As my journey and treatments progressed I saw more light and just focused on that. Eventually I was at the woods edge and if I looked back the darkness was there, but I kept moving and fighting for the light. I pray his treatment brings him through this. One day at a time he can get there. Stay strong.

Thank you for the update. Shame on the Insurance Company(s) for that delay. Everyday call on your angels and Arch Angels to be with all of you in whatever way you may need for that moment, day, week etc. Merry Christmas to all of you! Keeping you all in my thouthts and prayers.

I’m a 2x breast cancer survivor. Sending prayers and hugs to all of you. Ray, stay strong you can do this, 1 day at a time.

Ray and you and girls are in my thoughts and prayers everyday- sending light and love 🥰🥰🥰

The update sounds very positive and hopeful. Ray and your family are in my prayers. There is no shame in a moment of overwhelm. It doesn’t make you a negative Nelly. God gave your friend the right words you needed to hear to help change your mindset. This is a scary time and a very stressful time but you strike me as one of the strongest people I’ve ever experienced. You have a quiet fierceness and your son is blessed to have you for a mom. ❤

I'm a cancer survivor and you brought back memories. In the beginning, every appointment was weeks away. I was a wreck! I wanted treatments to begin immediately! It doesn't work that way. Every day seems like eternity! Appreciate every day you have. Marie ♥️

Thank you for the update on Ray. My prayers are with you all always. I love this video. Your positivity and outlook is exactly what Ray needs. You are amazing.

Keeping Ray, you & family in my prayers. Stay strong Mama Bear. I was in medical field 40 yrs & treatments protocols have come so far. Ray is a strong, young man. May you feel God's loving arms wrapped around you all. Please tell Ray we love him & he is never alone. XO

I'm glad to get the update on Ray. He is finally starting his treatments, happy to hear that. It took the insurance long enough. We are all still praying for Ray and you 3 girls. Your strength is amazing.

Kelly, you are a warrior! Thanks for the update. Keeping Ray & the family in our prayers 🙏 ❤️.

Prayers for Ray’s full and complete recovery. 🙏🙏🙏

My younger sister was diagnosed with cancer in October and you described how I was feeling so well. It brought me comfort, thank you. I am sending prayers for Ray and all of you.

You are so strong, I am completely blown away by the way you are dealing with all of this, and continuing to be a fabulous mom to all your kids. Keep positive, you have many people praying and supporting you!

Ray is not in this battle alone, he's in God's wonderful hands! Continuous prayers for y'all 🙏🙏

Keeping Ray and all of you in our prayers; thoughts with you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

My prayers go out to Ray, you and the girls. I have been a cancer survivor for 14 years, and I know there are difficult days, but staying positive got me thru it, and believing that God had my back gave me peace to fight the battle. I know you guys will be ok. Just stay positive.🙏

I want to thank you for sharing your positivity with us! I’ve experienced several traumatic events and losses the past few years and your positive words are helping raise my spirits. I continue to pray for Ray and your family. Much love, strength and hugs to each of you. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

You, Ray and your family are in my prayers. God's blessings on each of you.

Thank you Kelly for giving us an update. Prayers are going up "without ceasing". I'm so glad you are able to love, laugh and still have a closeness with all your family. Lové you.

Kelly, praying for Ray, you and the girls! Cancer is such a hard thing to deal with but your positive attitude and Ray’s positive attitude with God’s help will get you all through this. Stay strong!

Hugs to all of you. ❤️ Continued prayers. 🙏❤️😘

Thank you for the update on Ray and the rest of the family. I continue to pray for all of you and continue to pray for God’s support for you all.

Ray is blessed to have you. Lifting your family in prayer as you go through this journey & praying for Ray's complete healing!

Thank you for the update about Ray. You're a STRONG MOM! You got this! I can relate in somewhat way. It's never easy seeing our kids go through cancer but God is guiding you guys. Sending my love and support. Hugs hugs hugs! Continuing Prayers!

You and the girls got this Kelly! Sending Ray prayers, positivity and strength!💪

I want you to KNOW that I’m thankful to hear you’ve gotten a BETTER mindset than early on with Ray! I’m also excited to hear that he’s been able to receive immunotherapy along with the chemo. You are ALL in my prayers and I’m feeling the POSITIVITY that is aligned with immunotherapy. 🙏🥰💞

Sending prayers for Ray as he fights this battle. He is lucky to have a supportive mom like you! Prayers for peace each day for you.

Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop! You’re doing a great job with what you’ve been dealt. Never feel like it’s not enough. You’re only one person. And you’re doing great! Praying for Ray and your whole family! 🙏🙏🙏

Sending you all hugs!!! You have a positive outlook an I'm sure Ray feels this!!! That's what he needs!!! You all are helping Ray to keep up the fight!!!! Non of us are perfect an you need those days. You all have awesome out look!!! You all are in my prayers an Ray is on our church prayer line. We all are praying for you all an that you feel God's loving hand there holding you all in love,holding you all up when you can't.

He’s lucky to have such a positive mom in his life 🎉. I have been praying every night. He’s going to be okay I feel it 👏👍

Kelly prayers are continuing to be lifted for Ray. Such a fighter with strong determination. It’s so sad that the side affects of the treatments make him so sick. Don’t let him give up. Praying.

Thanks for the update Kelly, I was 28 when diagnosed with cancer also, so that makes me a 40 years plus cancer survivor. You are such a strong mom and have a good outlook. Bless you!

Kelly, your reaction to the room is so normal and real as you wouldn't be there if Ray wasn't sick. Learning that this is a healing room is also real as Ray is in the healing cycle. Always embrace that as you are doing. This room will become a sanctuary of sorts for fear, anger, love and hope, a place to pray, to reflect. Concerning Ray's sensitivity to cold, would a padded or wooden toilet seat help? I was going to suggest a sewn mitten for the handle and for the faucets that can be laundered and replaced. Your attitude is so amazing. I am praying for all of you. You are never far from my thoughts.

Continued prayers for Ray and the rest of you! I really appreciate your compassionate sharing of Ray’s journey! Your response to this scary event is amazing! Truly God is hearing our prayers and keeping you strong and in the moment! My “boys” are 36 and 42, and are an incredible joy to me! I feel deeply for the pain and concern you feel for Ray, and I know your strength is what will keep a positive force in this fight against the demon of cancer! May God richly bless you, and give you the Peace that only He can give! We won’t give up this fight, and I will continue to stand with you and Ray, in Jesus’ name! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️

Thank you so much for keeping us posted on Ray's progress. I am in awe of your strength. I truly believe that you will be the one to get them all through this. Sending prayers And good thoughts To you and your entire family. I'm Loaning you my guardian angel. She is winging her way towards you now.

I am praying for Ray to get through his chemo treatments. And for you to stay strong for Ray. You are absolutely awesome. You got this.

Sending hugs and prayers to all of you 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

So glad I caught this video as I had no idea what you were going through. There are prayers for a successful treatment outcome, a positive PET scan, and love and comfort for your entire family on their way. If Ray got even a tiny bit of your courage, strength and resilience , he will do fine. Lots of love ❤️

Thanks for the update. I’m still praying for Ray and your family every day during my rosary. Sending lots of love and hugs. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You and your work and your life is an inspiration to me. Prayers for continued support for Ray and your family.

Many many blessings to you and all your family! You are a blessing to them I’m sure. I hope Ray reactions to chem subside and he is able to rest and heal. ❤

You’re being smart in your approach in handling this very difficult situation. You’re on a journey that no parent ever wants another parent to have to experience, and keeping your focus on your girls is so important too. The emotional roller coaster is sometimes hard to imagine, but don’t borrow the jack. I hope you can feel the love and prayers from your family and friends, and may you all have Christ’s peace around you. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Kelly for Ray’s update. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about Ray and your family. Prayers are a constant thing that I sent to you all!! I will continue to send them! This is a difficult journey, but together, you all will get through it. Much love, and prayers to you all. ❤

My heart wanted to break hearing the news about insurance company. Our country really needs to address these matters. Praying for Ray as a prayer warrior. God Bless you Kelly and your entire family. Ray is now taking the first steps to his complete recovery so that he himself can pass this onto others in the future. Love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💝💝

You are an example of strength for your children. Sending prayers for Ray and for your family. I am so glad that you have family and friends that you can vent and cry with. We are all here for you.

I am a stage 3 cancer survivor. Prayers for Ray and family. Stay positive. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for the update on you and Ray. I am continuing to pray for Ray’s pet scan that it will be a good report and his cancer will be gone. May God keep you in His loving arms.

Just listening to you talk about how u are "living your life" sounds just like what a MOM does! Sounds like you are doing an extraordinary job for your family and yourself. Blessings and prayers to you, Ray and your family ❤

I watch your videos in amazement thinking Gosh she’s doing this video with such strength knowing what you’re going thru. Praying for you and Ray and of course the girls. You are truly an inspiration. ❤

I absolutely love you! Your attitude toward life is a tribute to your entire family! I am so glad treatment has started and I will continue to pray for your family, focus on Ray, obviously! I can't wait until you come back and give us the update that the PETSCAN shows the treatment is working even better than they thought and Ray is on the road to remission! Love you all, hugs! REIKI, find a reiki master and open up all his Chakras, it will allow the healing energy to flow more freely. I had uterine & colon, I did a mix of Western and Eastern medicine! Yin/Yang, it's all about balance!!!

Kelly: Thank you so much for keeping us updated. One can never receive too many prayers. I don't know that I could provide these video updates. THANK YOU!! Ray is young and strong. We are all praying for you, your daughters and especially Ray. I so agree with Debby's comments below. Folks pay insurance premiums and when we really need them, they want to put their head in the sand. God never gives us more than we can handle. We grow and get stronger. We are all pulling for you. 🙏🙏🙏

Sending thoughts and prayers and love for Ray. Sending strength and love for you and your daughters, and extra strength and love for Ray.

Beautiful mom Kelly, I am so inspired not only with the crafts you bring us. I am also encourage by your strength and resistance. I know it's hard because 2 fam. members of mine also battled this. You are an amazing person who has picked me up in low hours. Not days.. hours. Your right and I believe he will be healed. Globally is our Church. Prayers are literally going up everyday for your son's recovery of the chemo and side affects and ultimately total Remission and Healing. Much love to you and your family. ❤️🙏🙌❤️

You are doing so great, Kelly- praying for Ray and your whole family. 💗🙏🏻

Oh Kelly my heart goes out to Ray you and the girls. I hope and pray that Ray’s treatment goes well and his cancer is 100% cured. Love and prayers from Western Australia ❤️🇦🇺

Kelly, you are such a a strong lady. Your positive influence is a daily reminder that we all need to focus on the good things in life. My prayers are with Ray for his full healing from this aggressive therapy and for you to continue to be uplifted and positive and for additional strength to handle all the duties you have to deal with daily. You are such an inspiration to everyone who knows you. God bless you, Ray, Kayla, and Allie. May you feel the comfort, peace and inspiration that only God can provide to get you all through this journey. Stay positive!! 🤗 xoxo

Hugs! Kelley you are strong and you are what Ray needs and you are the reason Ray is so strong. Moms are warriors just bringing the child into the world and the job never gets easier. Just love every minute.💚

Ray has a great mom behind him. Sending prayers y’all’s way. Stay strong Y’all have got this bull by the horns.

You are amazing! I'm definitely praying for Ray, and for his family!
