Christina’s Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer

Hi, my name is Lecia and I’m fundraising for Christina who is my loving wife, but is also a loving mother, daughter, sister and friend.

Christina has been hospitalized for the last 10 days and have underwent multiple operations, experienced a few complications, and have received unexpected and devastated news. Yet she is hopeful and is a fighter.

Theres no better way to explain the what than to give you a timeline of events

In December of 2021, Christina had been experiencing abdominal pain and was rushed to ER but was diagnosed with gastritis.

2/2-2/4 Christina was admitted to the hospital because her leg was swollen and was diagnosed with DVT, there was a blood clot in her right leg. Surgery to remove said blood clot could not be performed because of confirmed pregnancy. She was placed on blood thinners to prevent future clots.

2/23 Christina went to the gastroenterologist and she ordered her a emergency abdominal ultrasound.

2/24 She was unable to sleep much and the pain became unbearable so she rushed to ER again. doctor was able to pull ultrasound and found spots and said it was concerning. She was admitted and transferred to hospital with OBGYN and hematologist specialists to further look into findings.
