Our Struggle with Ovarian Cancer
Donation protected
My fiance, Kris (46), and I are two Amercian English teachers living in South Korea. We've recently had the worst day of our lives when we learned that Kris has advanced stage IIIC ovarian cancer. The doctor recommended we go back to America with her family for treatment ASAP, but the only family Kris has is her mother in an assisted living facility. We'd even considered her moving in with my family back home, but even then the costs would be too great and the wait for coverage too long because she's been out of the States for over 16 years. We must seek treatment here, ASAP.
I've never asked for money online before, but we've realized that we can't do this alone. We need some way to pay for a professsional caretaker as well as hospital bills, visa and legal fees, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, hormone treatment, train tickets and taxis (neither of us have a car here), drugs, moving costs, and whatever other goods and services may be needed during this crisis. We can't thank you enough for your support and we'll post regular updates of her treatment and (hopefully) recovery. If you've read this all the way through, I appreciate even your consideration.
