Help Lisa Klocke Battle Stage 4 Cancer
Donation protected
My mother, Lisa Klocke, was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. She has been doctoring for over 3 years for extreme back pain and was always told it was arthritis and the blood work "looked great". Without giving it a second thought, she moved forward with neck surgery in August 2018, as she also had pain there and it was recommended by an orthopedic surgeon.
Fast forward to February 2019, she went to the Emergency Room with extreme back pain, thinking it was mix a mix of her arthritis and a kidney infection. The E.R. doctor then ordered a CT Scan that had unexpected results. The scan showed 3 growths on the spine, iliac bone and liver, so he then admitted her to the hospital and ordered a biopsy. The results came back stating she has Adenocarcinoma and referred her to an Oncologist for further testing/treatment. The Oncologist's next step is to figure out exactly where it started in order to begin the correct treatment plan and give a prognosis. She has her PET scan and additional MRI's on Friday, February 22, 2019. Her doctor anticipates treatment to begin by the end of February 2019. While searching for answers for over 3 years, my mom said that this is a happy and sad situation. Happy that she finally has an answer to all her pain and suffering, but sad of the answer she was given. She is ready to fight the battle!
Prior to this, my mom was a nanny for the past 3 years as well as a wife, mother and grandmother. My mom also is a fulltime online college student struggling at times to do her homework. She has always been taking care of others, putting herself last, it is now our time to take care of her. She has been unable to work for over a year due to the extreme symptoms she was told were "normal". My mom has always told me that "something is wrong", "I don't feel right". It has been frustrating for all of us seeing mom's health spiral downward with her chronic, I'm in pain look on her face. Donations will be used for cost of living, bills, treatment, and all forms of care.
Positive thought, prayer, energy, & reaching our goal are most important for her/us at this time to get through & maintain a strong mindset.
