Hey Guys, first off all, I just wanted to let you know that I battled with myself about doing this to begin with. I'm stubborn, asking for help outside of my family and friends is hard for me and my wife. Although ultimately, Ash and I have missed work and will continue to do so to be by our baby girls side.
So we've shared a few times the rough journey Jade is going through.
She has been diagnosed with Retinoblastoma which is a cancer in her eye. When it comes to this certain cancer, it's rated grades A-E. "A" being easy to treat, light chemo, easy to save the eye. "E" being the worst, far advanced cancer, less likelihood to save vision or the eye.
We were told Jade is at the E stage. We made the tough decision to have her eye removed but that doesn't get us out of the wood. On Monday or Tuesday (April 22nd or 23rd), Jade will undergo that surgery and from there her eye will be tested and determines if she still needs to do chemotherapy or not. We are optimistic and hopeful that is not the case.
With us missing work this week and in the next few upcoming weeks, we just ask for a little bit of help while we get settled into this new lifestyle. Anything helps, honestly and we absolutely appreciate every penny that comes our way. Thank you all.
-Alex and Ashley
