Support Andrea & Tristan's Fight

Donation protected
Last week, Andrea was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma with tumors on her brain, liver, and in her back along her ribs. She is 23 weeks pregnant with a baby boy named Tristan.

Andrea has been hospitalized since last Wednesday due to the intense pain she is experiencing. Currently, it is unclear how long she will remain there, as the goal is to ensure that she will be able to return home with her pain under control and well-managed.

She also began treatment for her melanoma on Friday and will begin targeted radiation treatments for the tumors on her brain this week. At this time, the doctors remain unsure of how the treatments will effect Tristan. In order to give both Andrea and Tristan the best chance at success, the goal is to deliver Tristan at 26 weeks. After Tristan is born, Andrea will begin the full course of her treatments. Tristan will remain in the NICU, facing his own set of challenges, until he is ready to come home.

The following weeks and months will be full of trials for both mother and son. Please join us to support Andrea and Tristan as they each fight for their health during this time.
