Support Mom's Battle Against Aggressive Cancer
Donation protected
Hey everyone!
My mom has been diagnosed with Primary peritoneal carcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that develops in the peritoneum, the tissue lining the abdomen. She has already had major abdominal surgery to remove her primary tumor, and the doctors found hundreds of tiny cancer cells sprinkled throughout her abdomen that they were not able to remove. The survival rate for this cancer can be around 5yrs, but it can also be less than that. Of course we are hoping for much more, so mom is seeking additional treatment in the realm of holistic healing. Her recent bloodwork showed her cancer markers doubled in just two weeks, confirming how aggressive this cancer is for her.
Unfortunately her immune system is already weakened due to several autoimmune issues. If my kids cough around her she’s down for weeks with illness, so these additional holistic treatments are necessary for her body to get through this journey.
She is working with a Naturopathic doctor, along with her oncologist, so she can beat the odds that are stacked against her. Given the severity of her cancer, the treatments will be intense, and as you know insurance does not cover holistic treatments in the state of New Jersey. She is working with the same doctor that was crucial in helping my husband’s cancer journey 2yrs ago.
Mom has been a hard worker her entire life. Her heart is huge and her generosity beyond measure. She never asks anyone for anything and is a very private person, so asking for help now is a massive shift out of her comfort zone, but that’s how much she wants to live. At the young age of 70yrs old, she has a lot of life left in her and wants to hang around to watch her grandkids grow, but life is expensive these days and she needs some help.
We also ask you keep mom in your prayers. Please send her good vibes and healing energy.
✨Endless gratitude & blessings to each of you ✨
