Dawn Lindsey's Journey with Stage 3 Lymphoma
Donation protected
Hi Everyone. My mother Dawn Lindsey, was just diagnosed with stage 3 Diffused Large B cell Lymphoma. She began with an onset of anxiety and raised blood pressure mid September - I recommended she go into urgent care immediately and from there, an ultrasound discovered a large mass located on her pancreas, roughly the size of a baseball. After several more weeks, a referral to an oncologist, two biopsies and a PET scan later, they discovered a total of 4 tumors in her body: an additional 2 located on her lower spine and one in her neck. We began by immediately approaching her diet, cut sugar completely, ph balanced water and only the best organic and non gmo ingredients for her meals. Unfortunately, this is an aggressive form of cancer and she went downhill quickly. She's now hospitalized and receiving the best care possible while she tackles this journey of getting the cancer out of her body. The hospital bills are getting exponentially high, she's risking potentially not getting paid after volunteered time is given for her leave, she may need to be in a skilled nursing facility soon, and we have high hopes of eventually relocating her to Seattle once she's feeling better, so that I can provide her care during this time. They are planning on starting chemotherapy today, which will continue over the course of the next 18 weeks. I have been here with her for three weeks and will be flying back home shortly to see my children and return to her side quickly after. Her cousin Terri has graciously stepped in to help with all of her needs during this time as well. We've held off on informing people to honor her wishes, but I know there are many who know and love her and may want to help support her during this difficult time. She does not wish to approach this with any sort of negativity but instead prefers to 'send the tumors to creators light'. Anything, including prayers, love and light, or sharing this to help contribute and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of you love and support ❤️Note: she is unable to take calls or visits at this time. I will deliver any messages of love and support to her along the way.
