Help Leanna with her 2nd battle against Cancer
Donation protected
Leanna battled breast cancer in 2017 and WON, and is now again facing a second round of cancer- this time in her C4 neck vertebrae.
She has been experiencing neck pain for a few months, and tried physical therapy and all the things us old nurses do to alleviate aches and pains. It didn’t improve. An MRI, along with a PET scan and CT proved her worst fear- cancer had returned.
After meeting with a Neurosurgeon, it was decided Leanna will have surgery on Thursday 12/17 to remove her C4 vertebrae, surgical reconstruction of her C4, along with removal of the tumor. The goal is to alleviate her pain, and remove the cancer. Her recovery will be 4-6 weeks, and she is unsure of when she can fully return to work. Leanna works full time as a nurse and comes to work (usually in pain) and takes amazing care of her patients. Let us take care of her now!
Leanna needs our prayers and support during this tough time. Having this occur during the Holidays makes it extra difficult. Please consider a financial donation during this time of giving to help the Zimmerman family offset medical and cost of living expenses so she can heal and recover after her surgery. Leanna is truly one of the nicest ladies you will ever meet! She has handled this all with unbelievable grace and relied on her strong faith and family. Mostly, she really appreciates your prayers and words of support.❣️ Thank you for any contribution you are able to donate to help alleviate some of the financial burden this time off work will cause....and prayers are always welcome!
