Patricia's brain tumor surgery
Donation protected
Hi, I am Lisa, Patricia's younger sister. I have set up this campaign to help my sister get the brain surgery she so desperately needs. I want my sister back, her kids want their mommy back, her husband wants his wife back and I know everyone that knows her wants the "old" Patty back. Since highschool my sister has suffered from sinus infection symptoms, headaches, fatigue, memory loss, depression, sleep disturbances and multiple other symptoms. She has seen multiple doctors and she always gets the same diagnosis..."there is nothing wrong with you." The past 2 years the symptoms have been getting worse making it almost impossible for her to function from day to day. After multiple courses of antibiotics she requested a CT scan. The scan showed nothing. She then requested a MRI, the doctor told her "it's not going to show anything different but ok." The ENTs office called and told her that she had a pineal cyst and to have a follow up MRI in 6 months. She requested the written report and found out that the cyst was actually part of a solid mass and possibly cancer. I went with her to see a neurologist, who told her there was no way this was causing her problems and the only way to tell if it is cancer is to wait and see if it grows. She has been researching and FINALLY found a surgeon that is positive this is the cause of her issues. He is also positive this tumor needs to come out and be sent straight to pathology to determine if it is cancerous or not. We felt like our prayers had finally been answered!!! Her surgery is scheduled for 12/8/15 in Los Angeles. Now we have one more giant obstacle...coming up with the $30,750 that has to be paid before the surgery date. All of us will be forever grateful for any donations we recieve.
