Help with Lydia's medical expenses for cancer
Donation protected
Towards the end of 2019 it became obvious that I was unintentionally losing weight. In 2020 I was not able to go to the doctor as normal due to the Covid 19 lockdown. I became fatigued, weak, lost my appetite, and became severely anemic by the beginning of 2021 and had lost over 40 pounds in one three month period in 2020.
The doctors finally diagnosed colon metastasized to the liver after a CT scan, colonoscopy and Pet Scan. At this point in time there are two tumors in my colon that need to be removed surgically, and positive signs in the liver which they are yet to discuss the treatment for. I have already over stretched my budget for copays and co insurance. There is much more to come and I will need help with future medical and other expenses that come with colorectal cancer.
I consider this urgent as there is the possibility of it spreading to other parts of my body. This is extremely disturbing. I don't have siblings and my only daughter has not gotten married and had children yet. Emotionally the situation is disturbing and financial need does not make things any better. My research so far has shown me that cancer treatment can be a very expensive venture.
