Help towards Kristen's Cancer fund
Donation protected
Hi All,
My name is Matt Busse. I am Kristen Busse's older brother. For those who may not know my sister, Kristen Busse is a 2nd grade teacher at Spaulding Elementary School in Gurnee, IL.
At the end of September 2016, she was diagnosed with Stage 3B Colon Cancer - Colonic Adenocarcinoma. Her cancerous tumor was successfully removed laparoscopically by a partial sigmoid colectomy on October 4th. Subsequently, she has had numerous doctor visits, blood tests, genetic testing, and just finished going through the fertility preservation process.
Her treatment started on November 21st. She will be continuing her chemotherapy treatment which will last for 6 months.
Kristen wrote a letter to our Illinois governor, Bruce Rauner, to raise awareness about colon cancer and to promote proper screening and early detection of this disease. She recieved a letter back, and as of Feb. 22, the month of March is officially Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in the state of Illinois!
The amount of support, thoughts, and prayers we’ve been receiving have been amazing so far! If you would like to follow her daily journal or send her well wishes, you can post a "Well Wish" on her journal through the CaringBridge website.

1.) Donate through the GoFundMe website.
