Our Battle with Renal Cancer
Donation protected
My name is Tori Williams, I am 39 years old. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma June 27th 2014. Since diagnosis I have had multiple surgeries ranging from a stent placed in the left ureter 3 times, to having my left kidney removed to having a tumor removed from my skull, which we just learned last week has come back. We are now planning cyber knife surgery and radiation on top of chemo therapy. I was on Cisplatin and Gemzar for months up untill my nephrectomy and was placed back on the same regimen but the cancer became resistant. I was then placed on Taxol for one round, scans have shown it is not working, other than me losing my hair. I was just placed on Doxyrubicin a stronger more "toxic" medication in hopes that this will kill the cancer. The side effects of this chemo are less than tolerable so I take life I minute at a time.
The chemo makes life almost immpossible to live to the fullest. I am a nurse by trade but I am unable to work in my field due to many factors......
My life, our life was turned upside down June 27th, 2014.
I am not one to ask for help but we are in need of financial help. Doctor's bills are adding up, along with other expenses including medications
Your help would be greatly apprectiated. I would also be very grateful for prayers and positive thoughts. Thank you in advance, every bit helps.
