The Petro family truly needs us now more than ever!! 

“Have you ever felt like you just no longer have control? Like there is absolutely nothing you can do to fix something. As June closed, and July entered, my whole disposition was changing. My scans in June showed my tumors were considerably worse than March. So the immunotherapy with the chemo failed. I can’t say I’m too sad about changing the regimen. At least I get rid of the mouth swelling and best of all, the neuropathies!!!! No more lockjaw!! However, some things that I hoped would go away did not. The weakness is progressing. I now have issues with left side weakness too. Stairs are impossible. I actually broke down in tears trying to get up to my bedroom this morning. It’s so frustrating because mentally, you think it should be so easy, but it’s not. I actually fell this morning trying to walk into my kitchen. I have a sunken living room, and it’s just a little step, but there is nothing for me to grab onto for balance and I crashed backwards. That’s how bad it is. I can’t even get around my house. I honestly am at a loss. I don’t know what else to do. So, the other issue I have been having since mid June is that my gigantic liver is pushing up on my diaphragm causing my lungs to flatten and fill with fluid since they can’t expand. You can hear gurgling in my breathing and my voice gets really hoarse, so you can kind of tell when they are getting too full. I had them drained twice in 2 weeks and the fluid also causes quite a bit of pain. Not to mention I can’t breathe when it happens. As you probably guessed, they changed my meds again. I had my first treatment a few weeks ago and it went well. I just had aches and pains with nausea—- typical chemo stuff”

Please consider donating from your HEART to their family. She is a fighter and has fought long and hard over 4 years but she sure could use some kindness to help during this time of recovery from her hospital stay. 

If you find it in your heart to share this, please share. The more hearts we reach the more we can help them with prayers and support of all kinds!
