Hi everyone. In February of 2022, my mom was hospitalized for weakness and low blood pressure. After running scans, tests and blood work, my mom was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma- a rare but aggressive type of cancer that affects the bile ducts in the liver.

She flew to Anchorage to get her port placed for chemo and talked to an oncologist. Unfortunately her cancer is too far advanced already. They started her on palliative chemo as there is no cure for her cancer but it will help prolong her life.

She has been in and out of the hospital for weakness and dehydration. She recently got discharged yesterday but she is not progressing as well as we thought she would.

At this time, we would like to ask for any donations that will help with medical bills and other expenses. My mom stopped working back in February and only my brother and dad have been working.

Thank you for the prayers, texts, video calls. Unfortunately, I’m not able to answer or reply to every single one. Also, please don’t come to the house unexpectedly- it can be very overwhelming and I would love for my mom to get rest. But continue to please pray for my mom & our family through this difficult time.

Thank you,

Taberna & Lacaste family ❤️
