Donate to help Jessica through Cancer treatments
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Lyla. My brother Dan and his wife Jessica are going through another long road of struggles, worries and stress. They have been through this a couple years ago with what everyone thought and hoped was a good result. They have 2 beautiful children who will need both parents for many years to come, and we all pray this time will end well so they can have many more years with there caring and loving mother.
Here is a bit of the history from Jessica.
I got first diagnosed with hypothyroidism, hashimoto's and goiters at 12.
In 2015 my goiter got to 6cm and still growing, did biopsy and decided it needed to come out.
Nov 2015 first partial thyroidectomy only to find it to be papillary carcinoma, I then have the rest of my thyroid removed 2 yrs later.
Now after yearly u/s and checking my labs every few months I had more growths.
After a few biopsy and special bloodwork, we found cancer again. I'm still going thru test to find out if it is thyroid cancer again or it is has metastatic which mean cancer has travel to other places in my bodies. Once we find out that we will know the treatment needed. Which could be surgery/ R.A.I.(radioactive iodine treatment)/ radiation or a combination of treatments.
As of yesterday, they have confirmed it is cancer and are now trying to find out how much and to where it may have spread.
Please considered helping in any way you can, and please share. This will help them with transportation cost to the city for all upcoming appointments and treatments as they live 2 hrs away. This will also help ease some of the financial burden of bills as well being that only 1 parent can work at this time and that may be cut short due to treatments or needing to be with her and the kids.
Thank you all who have read this, share and who will donate. This family needs to stay strong and with your help, we can make this a little more possible.
