My name is Johannah Carino, and reaching out for help is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Over the past few months, I’ve been experiencing symptoms from HLH and issues with my lymph nodes that can’t be ignored. My doctors are now seriously concerned—it could be cancer. The next step is a PET scan, which is urgently needed to get answers and guide my treatment.

A PET scan isn’t just another test. It’s what will help my doctors see what’s happening inside my body—whether there’s cancer, where it might be, and what kind of fight I’m facing. Without it, we’re in the dark, and I’m scared. The reality is, I can’t afford this scan on my own. The financial burden is overwhelming, and it’s hard to ask for help, but right now, I need support to take the next step in this journey.

If you’re able to contribute, even a small amount, it would mean everything to me. If you can’t give financially, sharing this message or sending prayers and love is just as valuable. Thank you for taking the time to listen and for helping me find hope in this uncertain time. No one should have to face this alone, and your support means the world.
