Help Devin Fight Brain Cancer!
Donation protected
Devin was recently diagnosed with glioblastoma, which is an aggressive type of brain cancer.
It started with headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vision issues in the beginning of January. By the end of January, a 1cm mass was discovered through the stat MRI that was ordered by her PCP.
On 2/5 she met with a neurosurgeon and on 2/10 she had a craniotomy to remove the whole tumor plus surrounding vascular tissue. She was discharged from the hospital on 2/12 and on 2/24 she received her pathology results with the diagnosis of glioblastoma, grade IV.
Currently, there are no clinical trials for Devin in the state of Indiana. Therefore, she has begun her search for clinical trials as well as an institution best fit for her chemo, radiation, and other therapeutic needs.
Unfortunately, this search for the best possible care and treatment is not cheap. Devin’s health insurance does NOT cover the appointments and consultations with potential institutions and specialists. The out-of-pocket fees for these consultations range from $550-$1000. Devin must travel outside of Indiana, so there are accruing travel expenses.
Devin is a fighter; she always has been. She is small but MIGHTY! Please consider donating to help Devin fight her fight against cancer!
