My mom was taking to hospital on July 3/24 by ambulance as she was in extreme pain and could not longer get up without assistance. On July 04 we found out my mom had cancer. Later that day we learned it was terminal. My mom had lung cancer that had spread to her bones, the cancer was also in her lymph nodes and she had a large mass below her left shoulder. She also had multiple back fractures as the cancer was breaking her bones, Within days we got the worst news that there was no treatment options for her and she had approximately just over a month to live. Unfortunately with in a few more days that time line changed and we were told she only has days. Everything has happened so fast and she continued to decline drastically each day and after only 17 days of her been taking to the hospital, she took her last breath on July 20 / 24 at 5:25 pm.

Anyone who knew my mom knew she was a fighter and one of the most strongest women alive. She had been fighting with her pain for years from her fibromyalgia, so when her pain started to increase we thought that was the cause. Her pain was drastically getting worse over the past 6 months, to the point she could no longer get up out of her chair without help. My mom had gone to the drs over the months trying to find out what was wrong but kept being told this was her new normal from the fibromyalgia, on July 3 the decision was made to go to the hospital and not leave till we got answers. Unfortunately we got the worst answers anyone could get.

The reason I am starting this go fund me is to help with funeral cost and I’d love more then anything to get her a headstone to be placed on the grave. Any help is greatly appreciated ♥️
