Help Pip fight and recover from Cancer

2 days after receiving my first COVID vaccination i noticed that my lymph nodes on the right side of my neck were extremely swollen. After they stayed swollen for a few weeks, my doctor sent me in for a biopsy. On April 23. 2021, i was diagnosed with Large B Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.  

This particular cancer is a blood disease that moves and replicates quickly.  It has to be treated quickly and aggressively. I met with an Oncologist on May 5th and was admitted to the hospital on May 7th for an intensive 5 day straight chemo treatment.  I currently have to do 4 cylces of this treatment plus hospital visits in between to monitor the disease, normal body function levels, and to receive transfusions.  I also have to do chemo in the spine (so not  fun).

In addition to my medical costs, i need reliable transportation, home medical supplies, and a safer permanent living environment.  I am currently subletting a space in the Echo Park area of LA.

The timing couldn't have been crazier.  I was very excited about  jump starting my acting career.  I was prepared to book a photographer for new headshots when i got the diagnosis. Glad i didn't book the photographer because 3 weeks later my hair started falling out due to the chemo treatment.

I need everyone to know that i will beat this cancer. It is curable and i expect to be completely cured before 2021 is out. Please help me in my journey if you can. 

I hope to hug and shared some giggles with everyone ASAP. 

Love, Joy, and Pip in 2022
