Help Felicity Overcome What Could Be Life-Altering
Donation protected
As several of you know my sister, Felicity, has been experiencing not so great symptoms for almost a year now. She has spent months of horrendous episodes daily, to where she has been bed ridden for weeks, not able to function some days to the point where she had to be helped to the restroom or walked into the house. Hospital visit after hospital visit. She has worked with several doctors trying to take control of something she had no idea of how to handle, spending thousands of dollars over this past year, only to potentially get worse.
Up until recently, Felicity was finally hospitalized after a severe seizure-like episode, she was finally diagnosed with a pericallosal lipoma after running an MRI on her brain. This brain lesion has caused detrimental symptoms, to where her body will shut down to not being able to move or breathe correctly.
Unfortunately, this diagnosis is only the beginning. Felicity thought she would find some relief after she found a diagnosis and could treat it right away but come to find out it is extremely rare and there is no treatment besides antiseizure meds and sedatives. This has caused Felicity's career and life come to a stand still. She is determined to shrink and hopefully dissolve this, as the doctor has told her it could grow and symptoms become worse throughout life or even worse be cancerous. These seizure-like episodes have become daily for her which leads to more medication. This has been wreaking havoc and deteriorating her nervous system for far too long and at this moment in time we are needing other resources.
There is a new blood test out to show if this lipoma could be cancerous. Her doctor is recommending this test be done so she can stop doing randomized treatment and figure out the actual root cause so she can finally begin the right extensive treatment. Felicity is ready to take this head on and go all in, but her and my family need help at this point.
Please help my sister get back to normal life and be herself again! Anything will help, thank you.
