Help Destiny kick her cancer to the curb
Donation protected
On July 15th I took my 24 year old niece to the hospital with terrible stomach pain. Early the next morning she was told she had an abnormal cyst on her ovary and would need surgery that day. She was diagnosed with a rare malignant yolk sac tumour, it had grown to 5 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches in size and it was cutting off the blood supply to the ovary. The doctor had to remove it her ovary and her fallopian tube.
My beautiful niece met her husband when they were 14 and 15 and they where married 3 years ago. They have always wanted children and have been trying for a few years with no luck, due to this cancerous tumour growing inside her.
In the next few weeks she will start undergoing chemo and was told she may never be able to have children. That the odds are not in her favour after the chemo, she will have approximately a 50% chance of regaining the ability to produce eggs. Her only safe option is to harvest eggs and freeze them until she is healthy enough to carry a baby. This is a very expensive procedure they will need $3000 to harvest, $300 a year to store and more for the in vitro.
She has been unable to work since the surgery and has a long road of recovery ahead. She is waiting for her EI claim but in the mean time bill's are piling up. She has to commute to the next town for all of her Chemo treatments and appointments and either her husband has to take the time off work or she has to arrange to pay for rides, both options are expensive. She was also told she would loose all her hair which is one of her favorite features of herself. We would like to be able to purchase her a nice wig.
Nobody who is going cancer treatments should have to worry about issues but unfortunately this is not the world we live in. Any amount you feel you can donate will be greatly appreciated.
