Hello everyone! My name is Ashley. My middle sister Danielle has recently been diagnosed with adrenal cortical carcinoma . She had developed a blood clot in her lungs in January and the CT scan discovered something more than just clots. There was a mass located on her adrenal gland. The mass was also interfering with her liver and her IVC (inferior vena cava).
On February 15th, Danielle will go into a very lengthy surgery to remove her gall bladder, 65% of her liver, and the affected adrenal gland. Along with the removal she will need to have an IVC transplant. This will all be performed will she is on bypass. Once they begin the surgery they will see if the cancer has spread to her back muscles. If it has, they abort the operation and will consider her in Stage 4 cancer. She will spend 2 days in the ICU and then an additional 2 weeks in the hospital for recovery.
During that time Danielle’s fiancé, her parents, and additional support team will be helping with the care of her 3 young children (Nathaniel, 5; Madilynn, 4; Riley,2). This gofundme will help Danielle and her family through this troubling time to help cover bills, food, and anything else the family may need while she is in the hospital and after during her recovery. No one would have ever thought this is how 2021 would start out for our family.
Danielle is only 32 and has so much more life to live and love to give. There will be a benefit dinner next month and details will be shared once finalized.
Thank you for all of your support.
