❤HELP A MOTHER TO TAKE CARE OF HER DAUGHTER WHO IS IN THE TREATMENT AGAINST CANCER❤
Fighting a disease requires mental, emotional and physical strength. Unfortunately, they also demand money and usually in large quantities.
I will tell you here the story of our princess, my goddaughter so always happy ketlyn, that makes us feel small in the face of her strength, love and affection.
"Ketlyn was born a beautiful, perfect and healthy child on February 13, 2016.
So it was until her 13 months of life when her mother Raquel noticed that Ketlyn's right thigh was more swollen than her left thigh, even though ketlyn didn't complain at any time of pain or discomfort. Her mother immediately took her to the Children's Hospital in Boston and after several examinations and biopsy an unimagined diagnosis was given to her mother: Ketlyn was diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and highly aggressive type of cancer.
Ketlyn then began her first battle against cancer, with chemotherapy sessions, and after a few months of chemo, it was decided in common agreement for the sake of Ketlyn that the best way for the cancer not to spread would be to have a rotationplasty , surgery that involves the removal of the area of bone affected by the tumor along with some amount of normal bone. To ensure that there is a "clear margin" a portion of the femur and tibia is excised and the lower leg is' rotated 180 ° and replaced to the proximal femur with screws and plates to hold them in a reduced position until healing occurs. Now Ketlyn's foot and ankle function as a knee joint allowing her to use prosthesis below the knee and to have a normal quality of life.
Times of trial, strength and faith for Ketlyn and her Mother who never spared efforts during such difficult times to accompany Ketlyn in all chemotherapy sessions that ended in June 2018. And then Ketlyn won her first battle against cancer.
But in September 2019, to our surprise and pain, the cancer returned, this time in the region of the right inguinal area. Once again ketlyn started her second battle against cancer now with chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions for almost another year.
And on August 27, 2020 Ketlyn won her second and for us it would be the last, battle against cancer!
We celebrated and thanked the Lord for giving our girl so much health, because her strength is what allows us to have strength too.
But after celebrating her Christmas and New Year with her family, Ketlyn started with severe headaches in the early days of 2021 and Raquel took her again for an emergency consultation at the Children's Hospital in Boston, fearing for the bad news that came after a series of tests and examinations.
And immediately, on January 8, 2021, ketlyn started for the third time another battle against cancer, now located in her brain, initiating the combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions again.
Ketlyn now demands her mother's full-time attention, as her mother is the person who knows her daughter the most in terms of treatment and behavior.
Many times unable to work because she has to stay at the hospital for 8 days with Ketlyn for her treatment, Raquel is going through financial difficulties to keep all the commitments of her household.
Raquel is a single mother and now takes care of Ketlyn and her other son, Breno, who recently arrived from Brazil to live with his mother.
Today, we ask you to help Raquel have a few months of comfort and peace of mind to take care of her daughter while Ketlyn is in treatment. They really need each other. It is very difficult to see a mother in this situation, going through so much anguish and suffering seeing her daughter sick, having to go to work to cover the basic expenses of the house.
