Help Alyson Beat Cancer

“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You receive from the world what you give to the world." Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul

Hi, I'm Alyson’s friend, Meghanne, writing on her behalf.

As many of you know, our beloved friend, colleague and mentor Alyson Gannon has been bravely facing treatment for advanced stage IV breast cancer.

For more than a decade, Alyson has given so much to aspiring students, colleagues, and her community. Many of us have been touched by Alyson’s kindness, guidance and gentle spirit. As such, we may find ourselves wondering how can we express our gratitude for the gifts she has shared with us. In addition to sending healing thoughts and prayers, Alyson could benefit from our financial support during this difficult time.

Current health status: Alyson has advanced-stage cancer which has metastasized to her lymph nodes, liver, spine, hip and skull. Doctors say she could have a year, if the current protocol doesn't work. She is not giving up hope and fighting with everything she has. We need her to stay here with us, as does her son, Andrew (she is his only parent).

Current treatment: Alyson recently went through an intense round of radiation treatment, leaving severe burns across her body and bed-bound for a month. After weeks of excruciating pain, she is happy to be vertical again. The treatment did leave her with peripheral neuropathy, now making it very painful to use her left hand/arm.

Alyson has recently been placed on a new cancer protocol (the first one did not work), which includes 10 daily chemo pills with follow-up bloodwork every few weeks. The latest lab results (1/23/23) are very encouraging and show her cancer antigens (CA 27.29) going down! This is very good news, indicating the cancer is responding favorably to treatment! Let's keep the positivity going for Alyson and support her the best we can.

Alyson continues to have an upward battle, but if anyone can beat cancer, she can. We are asking friends and her community of supporters to help contribute toward her medical expenses and cost of living, so she doesn't have the added stress this year.

Alyson has a large medical overhead. Your donation will go a long way in helping Alyson get the different forms of medical help she needs.

Thank you for your love & support.

With love and gratitude,
Meghanne (Author) and Alyson (Rockstar)
