Nicole Fischer's 3rd Cancer Battle

Donation protected
This account is being setup to help a family member very dear to me who at the age of 39 is facing her third battle with  cancer and can really use our help.  They are the most caring loving family and are in a time of need.  If a donation cannot be made please keep Nicole and her family in your thoughts and prayers.  Nicole's family lives here in Airdrie, AB.

Nicole Fischer is a wife & mother of three beautiful girls aged 9, 7 and youngest about to be 3 years old.   This family is very giving and could really use our help and I would like to help raise money so Nicole can fight this latest diagnosis of stage 1 Lung Cancer without some of the financial burdens on her back right now.  This family has never asked for help in all that they have been through and I know they could use a helping hand right now.  Please read Nicole's full story below

When Nicole was 14 years old she was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, which is a cancer that starts in white blood cells.  She was treated with radiation and went into remission. 

In July 2014 Nicole was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37 which doctor's believe was caused from previous radiation treatment.  She had a bilateral mastectomy in Sept 2014 and started chemotherapy Nov-Jan 2015.  She was then told she needed to take oral chemotherapy called Tamoxifen and the plan was to be on this for 10 years. 

Nicole started having health issues again March 2016 and was told she has Hashimoto's disease (thyroid disorder) in which body attacks the thyroid.  This is also caused by radiation treatment and constant medication & monitoring is needed for possible thyroid cancer in the future.  Then in April 2016 Nicole was admitted to the hospital with multiple pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in lungs).  This is a side effect of the Tamoxifen, the medication had to be stopped immediately and had to go on blood thinners.  While in hospital 3 tumors were found in her lung and had to be biopsied which was found positive for cancer at the age of 39.  Nicole has never been a smoker and again doctor's think this is due to previous radiation treatment.

At the moment Nicole is starting injections to force her body into menopause in order to continue treatment for breast cancer and she has a meeting with a surgeon this month to schedule surgery on her lung and go from there to fight this latest battle with cancer.  On top of everything this family is facing Nicole's husband has been laid off two jobs this past year and Nicole was scheduled to go back to work as a pharmacist technician this past April but once again is about to fight this battle.
