Hello Everyone,

First off, thank you for taking time to learn more about this effort to support Terrah through her continued cancer diagnosis and treatment. Terrah has been focused on exonerating her stage 3 head/neck cancer for several months after being diagnosed in March 2019. It has been a taxing, exhausting, and expensive journey as she has worked closely with healthcare professionals to try to take out her cancer. While Terrah has made significant progress, her battle has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars when you consider her treatments, travel to California for treatment, and loss of income as a result. Her decision to pursue "integrative care" includes getting insulin potentiated low-dose chemo, which she needs weekly, which has proven to have greater outcomes with less side effects. She is also completing laser therapy, immune boosting therapy, and thermal therapy - all in an effort to reduce her cancer presence and decrease her circulating cancer cell count. These therapies have proven to improve her cancer state and have shown significant promise for others' conditions. Terrah has pursued this route because radiation can be very debilitating for head and neck cancer and oftentimes has a high recurrence. The threat of severe burns, loss of teeth or taste, damage to vocal chords, and even the potential of destruction to the carotid artery, which could cause sudden death.

While progress has been made, the cancer in her lymph nodes has been very stubborn and not as responsive as had hoped. However, recently a new cell testing from an immunology lab in Greece has shown some changes in the drugs that would be most effective at treating her cancer. Terrah plans to begin this therapy next month - however, insurance does not cover most of the "integrative therapy", so Terrah will need to find ways to cover these costs on her own.

That is where TEAM TERRAH comes in - We must pull together and support our friend, family member, and all around great human. Terrah has a very promising therapy that could significantly improve her condition and we need to help her financially so she can focus on her healthcare and getting through her treatment. There is no doubt that Terrah's Tribe will come through and make this possible for her .
