Donate to help Jackie find hope as she fights cancer

Hello family/friends and acquaintances! I am Melinda Caldarella, a close friend of Jackie Holmberg's. I have been one of the many friends walking this path with Jackie as she fights cancer. Last week Jackie informed me of her most recent cancer status- that her cancer has progressed to stage 4c, spreading to her lungs and liver. After some tears we discussed hope. This is where Jackie talked to me about her dream to see Dr. Joe Dispenza as his work has given her a renewed sense of hope. His teachings on the mind-body connection and personal transformation resonate deeply with Jackie, offering a holistic approach that she believes could complement her medical treatments and help her find strength and peace in her healing journey.

I said to Jackie... "you need to go to this". However due to Jackie's cancer diagnosis she is currently unable to work, leaving her husband as the one income earner who just recently, after months of his work in the film industry being on strike, has just returned to work. She said to me she'd love to go but financially there is no way. That's when I suggested a go fund me page to help her get to Nashville in September to immerse herself first handed in a week long seminar with Dr Joe Dispenza, to find hope again and to continue this fight against cancer.

The amount we are requesting will include the price of the ticket, airfare, food, and accommodation. The ticket itself includes intensive workshops, meditation sessions, and lectures designed to empower participants to activate their body’s innate healing abilities.

As this is a highly sought out event, tickets are soon to go. Please donate what you can, as soon as you can to help Jackie get to this event. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support!

On July 5, 2023, my life changed forever when I was diagnosed with stage 2c endometrial cancer. I underwent a hysterectomy on September 25, 2023, and the day after, doctors informed me that they had removed seven of my lymph nodes, two of which came back positive for cancer. I was sent home after the hysterectomy, but within a few days, I discovered I was having bladder issues. About three weeks later, I ended up back in the hospital. They tested me for a fistula, which came back positive, and I was admitted back into the hospital for five days while they tried to determine if they could fix it. I was told that there was no way to repair my bladder and that I would have to live with this issue for the rest of my life. Hearing this was devastating. The urologist said that "even the best doctors wouldn’t take on my case." However, my family and friends refused to give up. Also, during this hospital stay, a CT scan revealed four more cancerous lymph nodes, updating my diagnosis to stage 3c.

This cancer is "behaving badly," as my doctors like to say, and it has been a challenging journey filled with countless treatments and hospital visits. The bladder puncture during my hysterectomy added to my suffering, making subsequent chemotherapy treatments even more gruelling and hindering my recovery.

Thanks to the unwavering support of family and friends, we finally found a urologist who was willing to help. On May 7, 2024, I underwent successful surgery to repair my bladder. This victory gave me hope and renewed my determination to keep fighting.

Recently, my cancer has progressed to stage 4c, spreading to my lungs and liver. My oncologist has offered immunotherapy, but it won't cure my type of cancer. Despite this, I am committed to exploring every possible avenue to support my healing process.
