Living with a brain tumor

My name is Louis Pajerski and I wanted to help my stepdaughter Briann raise money for her medical expenses. Briann Grier is 23 years old and has already been through more in her short life then most people ever will. Last year she had a collapsed lung, and spent months being in and out of the E.R. After that she had not one but two kidney stones on two different occasions. She had thrush, which is very rare for a 23 year old. Then she had an infection in her arm from the multiple I.Vs. You would hope things got easier after all that but they got much worse. She began to have uncontrollable muscle spasms which led to more E.R visits, and having multiple doctors with hopes of a diagnosis. She eventually found a doctor who diagnosed her with fibromyalgia, and things started to turn around. At least that's what they thought. She has suffered from severe migraines since she was very young, but they started getting worse. She developed unusual stretch marks that raised doctors concerns even more. Her muscles strength began to disappear, she developed extreme bruising, hair loss, and much more. Test after test the doctors diagnosed her with Cushings Disease. Which is a type of pituitary tumor. With Cushing disease, the pituitary gland releases too much ACTH. ACTH stimulates production and releases cortisol, a stress hormone. The pituitary gland is located just below the base of the brain and she needs to have it removed. She is still waiting on surgery to remove it . Please help her get to the road to recovery. Thank you & God bless!
