Liduvina's Cancer Expenses

Spanish: Amigos y familia, entendemos que pedir ayuda no siempre es fácil y menos cuando quisieras evitarlo. Pero la triste realidad , esque nuestra Mamá lo ocupa más que nada en este momento. Liduvina es hija, Hermana, esposa , mamá , abuela y tía. Sea lo que sea ella es muy amada! Crió 6 hijos que la bendicieron con 9 nietos , que por suerto son su adoración y no hay momento alguno que ella no les demuestre su amor incondicional al igual como tia a sus sobrinos. Estamos muy agradecidos de tenerla con nosotros apesar de todo. Por 7 años , ella a estado batallando con un dolor en su abdomen y vientre. Por esos 7 años, ella entraba y salía del hospital esperando que le dieran respuestas el porque tenía tanto dolor. Fueron varias veces que fue rechazada y mandada a su casa con medicamentos que paraban el dolor por un rato pero no tenía respuestas de el porque. En Mayo 6,2018 fue la primera vez que por fin tuvo una respuesta que cambió todo por completo. Su dolor fue demasiado fuerte que espero que su familia se durmiera para no preocupar a nadie. Se fue al hospital sola para recibir la lamentable noticia que pudiera tener cancer. Después de varios exámenes de sangre y incluyendo un CT , el CT resulto con tumores en su abdomen bajo. Alas 2 am siguiendo sola , recivio la terrible noticia que probablemente era cancer. Fue admitida al hospital para continuar con los exámenes y asegurar que si era cancer. Rodiada por su familia esperando anciosamente por los resultados y con fe, fue translada a un hospital en donde aceptaban su aseguranza. El hospital a donde fue transladada, repitieron los examenes y una biopsia. Desafortunadamente recibimos la lamentable noticia de que si era cancer. Pero el tipo de cancer todavia no estaba confirmado. Unos días despues , regresó al hospital para un procedimiento que pudiera contestar nuestras preguntas sobre el cancer. Cuando el Dr. hablo con nosotros , nos aseguro que iba estar bien , siguiendo el plan de tratamiento incluyendo las Quimioterapias. Nos confirmó que teníe cancer de ovarios etapa 3C que no tan solo abia avansado y fue detectado antes de que llegara a sus pulmones causando que fuera etapa 4. Desde que comenzó las quimoterapias sus tumores han encogido y aseguran que el quimo está funcionando. Cuando finalmente todo iva bien , ella se encontro en el hospital nuevamente por una fuerte tos. Después de varios exámenes, le confirmaron que tenía pneumonia. Gracias a dios después de antibióticos está bien. Desafortunadamente nos queda una larga batalla para estar bien! Tendrá una cirugia y le quedan unas sesiones de quimioterapias, pero gracias a dios estamos muy agradecidos y afortunados de tenerla aun con nosotros. Como ustedes se pueden imaginar , luchar contra el cancer es muy costoso. Desde que fue diagnosticada con cancer no pudo trabajar y su aseguranza sólo cubre sierto porcentaje del tratamiento. Se les agradece de todo el corazón si nos pudieran ayudar, estaríamos muy agradecidos con que compartan este link. Hoy por nosotros mañana por ustedes. Attentamente, Familia Rodríguez English: Hello friends and family we know asking for help is never easy and we wish we didn't have too. But the fact of the reality is that we do need help for our mother. Liduvina is a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and an aunt. No matter what she is, she is loved. She raised six kids, who have given her nine grandchildren. Her grandchildren are her world, and showers them with unconditional love. She is also the aunt to many nieces and nephews who she shows that same love. Her family truly is the most important thing to her, and we are all grateful to still have her. For the past seven years she has been having pain in her lower abdomen. Through those seven she has gone to the hosptial several times and left with no answer to what was causing the pain. Too often she was turned away with little to no test performed, pain pills were prescribed and she was sent home. Seven years her pain and concerns were neglected. May 6th, 2018 she got her first real set of answers. Her pain was so bad, she waited for her family to go to bed, so she could drive herself to the hosptial. she didn't want anyone to know she was in pain, so they would not worry about her. Alone in the hosptial she went through a series of test including a CT scan. The CT scan showed some masses in her lower abdomen. At 2AM still all alone, she was told that she may have cancer. She was admitted to the hosptial for further testing. Surrounded by her family we anxiously awaited for the test results only to be told they don't know what is wrong and she needed to be transferred to a different hospital that accepts her insurance. The new hospital repeated some of the same test and performed a biopsy. She was told she did indeed have cancer but the stage and form were uncertain. A few days later she went back to the hosptial for a surgery that would allow doctors to insert cameras inside her abdomen to see where the cancer was and what stage. She was in surgery for hours with her family waiting in a room for the doctor to call. The doctor called and informed us the surgery was succesfull, but he would have to come speak with us. She was diagnosed with Stage 3c ovarian cancer. Not only had her cancer spread, the cancer was caught just before it spread to her lungs, which would have turned the cancer into stage 4. Her doctor developed a treatment plan starting with chemo the following week. Since then she has gone through four rounds of chemo, and another CT scan. The CT scan showed her tumors are shrinking and the chemo is working. Once everything started looking up, she found herself in the hospital yet again due to a bad cough. She had test ran and was told she has pneumonia. Luckily after some antibiotics she will be okay. She still has long road ahead of her. She needs another surgery and an unknown amount of chemo. It is by the grace of God she is still her with us. As you can imagine fighting cancer is expensive. Since being diagnosed with cancer, she has been unable to return to work. She does have insurance, but it does not cover much, so she is left with the burden of trying to figure out how to pay for her hospital bills. Anything you can give is appreciated, even if it just a share.
