In May 2017, Brooke Irish was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic colon cancer, which has spread to both her liver and her lungs. Nothing can prepare a person to hear this kind of diagnosis. Although the news was sudden and has been extremely difficult to process, she has chosen to remain positive and start her fight immediately with chemotherapy treatment. Brooke gets a treatment every other week and doesn't know when she will get a break. Her courage, positive attitude and optimism is inspiring.
The chemo sets Brooke back a few days, while she recovers. About the time she is feeling more energetic and able to take walks to the park with her two young children, Jack (9) and Avah (7), it is time for the next treatment.
Brooke has found comfort with some alternative treatments including eating an organic healthy diet, acupuncture and massage therapy.  She is seeing both a Chinese Medicine doctor and a Naturopathic doctor- both who prescribe a lot of herbs, vitamins, supplements and treatments that is not covered by insurance. They're one of her biggest expenses in addition to the regular medicine like chemotherapy she gets.
Many people are asking how they can help Brooke and her family in this time of need. Positive thoughts and prayers are encouraged. If you are able to give a gift, please consider doing so. No amount is too small or too large. All donations will be given directly to Brooke to help with the growing medical costs, alternative treatments, increasing grocery costs, and saving for family trips so that she is able to create memories for her children.
