Cancer Treatment for Heather Quick

Heather was first diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer in 2016. Although her cancer was aggressive and being fed by a specific protein in her bloodstream, her prognosis was a 95% chance of survival. She underwent 5 surgeries, 6 rounds of chemo, and 28 rounds of radiation. After nearly a year of being "cancer-free", she began having severe back pain along with other concerning symptoms. Initial scans have revealed that the cancer has probably never left, and has since invaded her bones, from her ribs to her spine and all the way down to her knees. The prognosis is not good, and she has been told she only has 2-5 more years to spend with her family. 

She is currently in the process of getting a second opinion from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, where she will be evaluated for possible clinical trials and any other life-prolonging measures they can make. Her first appointment is set in the middle of October, and we hope to have better news at that time. 

Heather, a wife and mother of 3, is only 35 years old. She works at a bank in Waynesboro, GA, and has many friends and loved ones. She is quick to help anyone in need, and she is a wonderful and loving mother to her daughter(16) and two boys (5 and 3). She is still working, but the expenses are going to add up quickly, and the family needs help to finance the trips back and forth to Texas, the cancer treatments, and to supplement income for any time she and her husband, Toby, need off from work. 

We ask for thoughts and prayers, and any monetary donation you can spare to help them through this difficult time. If you cannot make a donation, please share her story with friends in the hopes that more prayers and donations can be made. We also ask that comments about her condition not be made in front of her youngest boys, as they will not be told of their mom's cancer returning until after she shows the effects of any cancer treatments. Thank you in advance for your support and prayers!
