Dear friends, family, and kind supporters,

We’re reaching out with love and hope on behalf of our beautiful sister, Diana Cardenas, as she faces a recurrence of thymoma—a rare and persistent form of cancer she has courageously battled with strength and resilience.

During this emotional journey, Diana has undergone multiple surgeries to remove cancerous growths from her chest, faced rounds of chemotherapy, and explored various holistic therapies to support her healing. She was also diagnosed with a lung disease and an autoimmune condition related to thymoma called myasthenia gravis, which affects her muscle function and adds further complexity to her care.

Recently, Diana received heartbreaking news: her thymoma has returned. Scans revealed new spots in her chest, and her doctors are recommending surgery followed by radiation to prevent further spread. Through it all, Diana continues to meet each challenge with unwavering faith and grace. She is a devoted mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend who inspires all who know her.

As she prepares for this next phase—another surgery, radiation, and a comprehensive healing protocol—Diana is embracing both conventional and integrative therapies to give herself the best possible chance at long-term recovery. Sadly, many of these essential treatments—such as advanced testing, recovery support, and holistic care—are not covered by insurance and must be paid out of pocket.

We created this GoFundMe to rally around Diana and ask for your support in three powerful ways:

1. Financial contributions to help her access life-extending treatments

2. Prayers and positive energy to uplift her and her family

3. Sharing this page to expand the reach of this campaign beyond our circle

Your contribution will help cover the following essential expenses:

• $6,000 – exacta® comprehensive multi-analyte liquid biopsy, which maps Diana’s tumor genetics and identifies personalized clinical and holistic therapies, including drug response and growth factor compatibility

• $800/week – Immune-boosting IV infusions (2x/week): high-dose Vitamin C and other nutrients to support her immune system and target cancer cells

• $159/month – Infrared sauna therapy (3–4x/week): supports detoxification, hormone balance, lymphatic flow, and pain relief

• $850 – PEMF + Red Light Therapy Mat for home use: promotes circulation, healing, and inflammation relief

• $500 – Rebounding equipment to safely encourage lymphatic drainage and oxygen flow from home

• $500–$700/month – Holistic supplements, recommended by her integrative doctor based on her specific bloodwork and diagnosis

• + Additional costs – for off-label medications, specialized lab work, healing tools, and therapies not covered by insurance

Diana has spent countless hours researching both Western and holistic healing practices. She is now working with trusted integrative oncologists to build a personalized plan that brings together the best of both worlds—with the goal of achieving No Evidence of Disease, and staying there.

We understand that many people are going through difficult times right now. Diana never imagined she’d be in the position to ask for help—but with humility and hope, we are here to lift her up and walk beside her every step of the way.

Whether you are able to donate, send prayers, or share this fundraiser, your support means everything. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every prayer brings us closer to giving Diana the strength and tools she needs to heal.
