Ginny's Brain Tumor Recovery Fund

Donation protected

On May 20th 2014 I had a seizure for the first time, I was taken to the hospital and given medication. They ran some scans. A tumor was found and on May 27th it was removed. I recovered very quickly and had no issues much at all. Today's date is July 8th, 2014. I saw my cancer doctor yesterday. He went through the biopsy results and MRI scans and all of that.  My tumor was a Oligodendroglioma. It's very, very uncommon. The cells have the ability to reproduce, and have the ability to act like cancer. Mine was not aggressive although it looked like it could be. Meaning I could continue to get other tumors. I do need chemotherapy, and I do need raidiation treatment. These types of tumors grow roots in your brain, the chemo and raidition is used to help kill the roots or at least halt the cells from reproducing. This is something I'm going to have for the rest of my life. The problem is currently my insurance is confusing and currently I have medicaid but only in PA, I currently reside in OH. While this is all going to be taken care of in about two weeks or so, I have medical bills that need paid. The visit to see my cancer doctor was another $500 by itself. A random ambulance bill popped up a few days ago, apparently to transfer me from one clinic to another, a month ago, was another ~$900. I did get that job at Walmart, but it's not exactly enough right now. If you could spare even a dollar, it would be greatly appreciated.

It is now 2018. Its the first of March. I haven't worked since November of last year. I was hoping I would feel "normal" by now. My fatigue has never let up. I've gone through a few jobs, having to take breaks from all of them because I get too physically tired. I can't work 8 hour shifts, or 6, or rarely even 4. My fatigue doesn't really let me take breaks, and sleeping doesn't help. I've been tested for a lot of things, everything negative. My PCP and Oncologist are confused. Please, donate if you're able, to help me pay rent, buy groceries, etc. I'm at a loss.
