Help Rachel Cauley Westhoff with medical expenses
Donation protected
Hello all, I am writing to help raise funds for Rachel. As you know Rachel was diagnosed with a non-malignant brain tumor 24 years ago. Although the tumor was benign it left her disabled with 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th cranial nerve damage. Although the entire tumor could not be removed she had 22 years of minimal activity and in October 2022 it came back with a vengeance requiring emergency surgery. In July of this year at her 6 month annual MRI it was discovered to have again returned with significant growth. On July 5th she underwent her third surgery. The surgery went better than expected. Again the entire tumor could not be removed due to its proximity to the brain stem. Unfortunately, the composition has changed and it is now a stage 3 malignant tumor. The first attempt at treatment is between 30 to 35 daily radiation sessions over the next 7 weeks. Rachel remains positive and strong. Thank you for any help you can provide.
