Please consider donating to help my cousin, Becky, get the best care possible as she has been dealing with quite a few health issues over the last few years.

In June 2021 Becky went to the hospital with stomach pain and a fever, among other things. After a weeklong stay, she was diagnosed with BV. She was given an antibiotic and sent home, with no further treatment.

In October 2022 Becky was experiencing menstrual-related issues and went to the hospital. She was told she had multiple growths in her uterus and was eventually diagnosed with cancer of an unknown origin.

After having multiple tests done and finally getting approval from all of her specialists, in December she had a full hysterectomy and two orange-sized masses removed. While the surgery was a success, her doctor said she had abnormal-looking lymph nodes and that she would need further treatment.

Eventually, Beck was diagnosed with a rare cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. Since then, has been through six rounds of chemotherapy, causing her to feel sick often, and lose all her hair. Following chemo, blood tests revealed low levels of hemoglobin, so she needed to get a blood transfusion. A CT scan determined she had pneumonia and new growths in her lungs that were not there two weeks prior. She was hospitalized for a short period and then sent back home.

The doctors have not been able to give her many answers, which has been extremely frustrating. Her suggested treatment plan is radiation, although it cannot be done in all the areas she needs because it is too dangerous. After some deliberation, her doctors came to the consensus that radiation is her best option, despite the risks. Becky will complete 25 radiation treatments over the next five weeks at RWJ.

She is currently in the process of trying to get into Memorial Sloan Kettering, but her insurance is not accepted there.

Please consider donating to help reduce the costs of her treatment. Anything you can give is greatly appreciated by our family.
