Medical expense fund-raiser Cancer

Donation protected

My name is Deirdre Slocumb I am a 51 year old single disabled mother of 5 children 2 of which are teenagers who live at home. I have been officially out of work since February 9, 2013 due to medical issues. On March 23, 2016 a large mass was found in my abdomen. This was the beginning of my nightmare. Biopsy results showed the mass was cancerous. I decided to go to Mass General Hospital for a second opinion and discovered the mass was a sarcoma which was burrowing into my small intestines.  This type of cancer is a rare type of cancer. It had to be removed. Mass General Hospital specializes in the treatment of sarcomas. On June 7, I had the mass removed only for doctors to discover lesions on my liver. I now know that I have several lesions on my liver which are all sarcomas. I have been entered into a study at Mass General Hospital and between co-pays, deductibles, services not covered by insurance and the cost of traveling back and forth to Boston, my medical expenses are extensive. I am unable to afford to keep up with these medical expenses. I need your help my life depends on the treatments I am receiving. Anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.
