Seven years ago, on the day before Thanksgiving, Jeanne completed what she thought was her final radiation treatment for Breast Cancer. She went through 12 weeks of Chemo, a lumpectomy, and 38 bouts of Radiation... and she WON!!! Fast forward seven years to 2024 and on the day before Thanksgiving, she received a scary new diagnosis of “Metastatic Carcinoma, morphologically consistent with breast primary origin”.
After 4 LONG months of Lymphedema Occupational Therapy for a shoulder problem she was encouraged to see an orthopedist to see if she had a tear in her shoulder or rotator cuff. A MRI was FINALLY ordered and confirmed a very large mass and several smaller masses. The biopsy results came in 7 years TO THE DAY that she had celebrated being Cancer FREE!
The next step is to solidify a plan to attack her malignant tumor. That plan will not include surgery because the tumor is too large and entangled in the nerve center in that region. Chemotherapy & Radiation will most likely be used to shrink the tumor and kill the cancer.
She has a long and expensive journey ahead and any help you can provide financially would be so very helpful. Please keep her in your prayers as well. Let's help her know she is not in this fight alone!
