Jaylas radiation and recovery
Donation protected
Hi my name is Jayla and I have a reacurring Lipoma. My mom Des has been fighting tooth and nail to try to help me. I am only 5 years old and the fatty Lipoma on my neck has now been removed twice. Due to the location of the lipoma it restricts my breathing and is life threatening. After the first surgery it grew back within four (4) months. I recently had my second surgery on Monday December 12 at Animal Surgical Center of Flint. The doctor has been absolutely amazing! However, surgery is only half of the solution for treatment. Dr’s are strongly recommending radiation on the mass due to it growing back within four (4) months. The lipoma has already grown to the point that during the first surgery Dr’s had to remove my jugular vein on the right side of my neck. During the second surgery, the lipoma had grown into the muscle of my neck, causing them to remove some of the muscle on the right side of my neck as well. Surgery alone was about $3,260 each time. Radiation is estimated between 4,000-8,000 depending.
My mom (Desi) works for the animal shelter, she does anything and everything she can to save every animal she can. We hate to ask for help but we need all the help we can get to save me (Jayla).
