Help Jen lesson her burden and focus on healing

Donation protected
Hey everyone,
This is Jen Pratt welcome to my go fund page. Some of you are about to read some things that you never knew about me.
I will start from the past to give you the full story which supports and explains this much needed request.
In March of 2020 I became very very weak due to losing excessive amounts of blood. I continued to bleed heavily for over 100 days straight which dropped my hemoglobin and I was taken to the ER where I received blood transfusions. From there I was scheduled for a hysterectomy, surgery was 8/3/2020. The pathology report came back that I had a tumor on my uterus and was missing something called loss of nuclear expression, in English terms I was genetically tested and I have what is called Lynch Syndrome also called HNPCC. This is a cancer gene mutation in my DNA! There is no cure for this. This means I am at a very high risk of developing colon cancer among every other cancer known to mankind.

So after the uterine cancer diagnosis and the hysterectomy my ovaries were removed as a precaution to not get ovarian cancer. I thought all was good.

Fast forward to now. I came into the hospital on Sunday the 20th with what I thought was the flu due to a spiking fever in the early Friday morning hours.

This was not the flu. Fast forward to today.
I have a 4.5 cm mass on my right kidney that is located directly in the center of my kidney. I’m having a biopsy done tomorrow morning to determine definitively that it is cancer. If it is which 2 urologist and a CT and MRI scan both with contrast show the same thing, I will be having my entire right kidney removed.

In conclusion due to my current health state I am afraid of falling behind on my financial responsibilities and I am terrified that everything I’ve worked so hard for to rebuild my life, I will lose it & fall backwards. I do not have the energy to rebuild again from cancer. I pray you will find it in your hearts to donate to help lesson the burden so I can focus on healing and getting back to me.
As most of you know I work for State Farm, this is a new office which means new start date which in turn results in limited vacation time along with limited vacation pay.

As always prayers by the millions are always welcomed. Karen Lynn will be doing updates of my next few days - weeks- etc

Thank you and God Bless! ❤️- Jen
