Patience Blythe, a ray of sunshine, creative force, and great friend, has recently been diagnosed with Mucinous adenocarcinoma with focal signet ring features—a rare cancer. In June, she was initially treated for Lyme disease, but when she continued to feel symptoms, she had surgery where they removed and tested her appendix and lymph nodes. After a long period of sickness and confusion, she has a diagnosis and clarity, and she is ready to fight this rare cancer. She and her husband Cody are communicating with several cancer doctors and will be making trips to Boston for medical care.

The trajectory of the next few months is unclear, so we want to help Patience and Cody focus on healing and not worry about their monthly budget. The amount requested is for roughly 3 months of expenses, seeing as Patience has already missed a month of work during her diagnostic period.

These two are great friends to all who know them, and any donation, however small, would be so appreciated.

We will use this page to update you on any new developments and keep you in the loop! ❤️
