I WANT TO HELP MOM BEAT CANCER!
Donation protected
I never thought I would ever use this site nor did could I have ever imagined I would have a reason to, but unfortunately life has thrown a curve ball at my family and it is important that we are all as close as possible because my mom is going to need all the support she can get through this trying and turbulent time. As most of you know my mommy has had a pretty rough week and a half. She is the most affectionate, compassionate, considerate, admirable, and witty person in the world. If you don't know her, you should because she is the person that can always bring joy and peace to your life especially when you need it the most. Unfortunately she has had one hell of a life changing experience this past few weeks. What started as a potential sinus infection has turned into something awful that my wonderful mother has somehow embraced and has found comfort in her loved ones to win this battle. She was rushed to Stanford University Medical Center (the best hospital BTW) after a CT scan showed some masses in her lungs and brain. Once there, after a lung biopsy, she was diagnosed with stage four cancer of the lungs. Stage four because it had spread to the brain. She had a golf ball size tumor that was causing pressure in her brain that cause a little bit of eye damage but with the potential to cause more. Brain surgery was necessary to prevent any more damage. Surgery was successful but not all of the tumor was able to be removed due to the potential of damaging areas that were necessary to her mobility. Along with that tumor she has at least 6 more in her brain, some the size of a quarter. We are hoping that some rounds of radiation will knock them out! The lung biopsy results are still not back and they also found a mass on her spleen. This is extremely tragic news and I would gladly trade places with her if I could because my mommy is the last person who deserves such an evil disease and those of you who know her understand what I mean. Unfortunately it will be at least two more weeks before we are able to figure out what treatment options are available, and the reality of this disease, but it could be even longer. I am not sure what will happen or how much time I will have with her.
I hate to even have to ask but I want to be here with my mom until I know she is in the best treatment plan possible. I am currently with her but my funds are getting extremely low since I had to leave work to be here with her so I am reaching out to friends and family to help raise some money to allow me the time I need with my mommy. It is possible I a may be here for a couple of months so I am hoping to raise enough to equal two months of wages. I can’t let her go through this without her Tashie by her side. I would appreciate anything at all and even if it is not possible to help financially please just keep her and my family in your prayers. I really hate relying on others but I am not sure what to do, I am not even sure if this was the right route for me to take, but I have been looking at possible temporary jobs or online work that I could do while I am down her and I am still trying other venues but everything seems to be taking longer than I have anticipated. .
Thank you all for your love, thoughts and prayers!! If you have donated I very much appreciate that as well. Please share my page, I would appreciate it very much. I love you all so much! We will win this fight! My mom is a fighter!!
