This is Cassie. She is a beautiful, sweet, fun-loving 15-year-old who loves the Lord, her family, music, science fiction, and British accents. She is a gifted singer and can brighten anyone’s day just by being near them. She just finished her sophomore year of high school. Cassie has been suffering from what we thought were allergies for about 3 months. When the medicine didn’t help and her nose and eyes started swelling we took her to our family doctor, who sent us to an allergist, who sent us to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. We found out there that Cassie has a very large tumor starting behind her nose, filling her sinus cavities, extending up to and eroding away part of her orbital bones around the eyes, and actually breaking through the skull and into the space around her brain. So far the tumor just seems to be pushing on things and not attached to the brain. The doctors are fairly certain the tumor is cancerous. They did a biopsy and we are still awaiting the results. The course of action for treatment will depend on the biopsy results. The doctors say the tumor is too large to surgically remove now, so they’d like to do chemo or radiation to shrink it first – there is a catch, though. Cassie has been leaking some fluid out of her nose – the doctors want to make sure it isn’t cerebral spinal fluid. If it is, that complicates things and surgery will have to happen first to remove the part of the tumor around the brain. There are about 8 different cancers this could be, according to the doctors. They are leaning towards one kind, and if it is that cancer, it is very treatable with chemo. The hope is that she isn’t leaking cerebral spinal fluid, that the chemo can shrink the tumor enough to operate and remove the rest – or, ideally, that the chemo will completely get rid of the tumor. Even with this devastating news, Cassie has kept a positive attitude and remained strong in her faith. She is often heard comforting others and telling us, “It’s okay, God’s got this.”
We know that God is in control. We are trusting Him to remove this tumor from Cassie and restore her to complete health and strength. Please pray with us for this. Pray for our sweet Cassie, for the teams of doctors caring for her, for her siblings: Gabby & her fiancé Ethan, Kimmy, Elliott and Natalie, for her parents Stephen & Jen to stay strong for their beautiful daughter as she faces this, and pray for healing – complete, miraculous healing. We know that our God is bigger than this! Please pray!
Even if you can’t give a monetary donation, your prayers are very much appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️
