UPDATE: Lissa will be starting chemo and radiation concurrently on February 12th. She will have 7 weeks of treatment with a minimum of 6 weeks recovery depending on how well she responds to treatment. As you know Lissa is self employed with no sick pay or any kind of income if she’s not working. This is going to be a hardship and we are raising her goal to accommodate the lengthy time off she will be forced to take. We will be having a fundraiser on February 24th from 4-7pm. Watch for further details and a Facebook event page. Thanks in advance for all your contributions. ///// My dear friend, Lissa Patrick, was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx.  Lissa will be having a tracheotomy and a flap procedure where they will be removing the tumor and replacing with a synthetic voice box.  This will require a lengthy healing time including relearning to swallow and how to use her new voice. She will have to be off work for at least 6 weeks, while medical bills will be piling in.   ANY help you can give will be so greatly appreciated. Lissa has a long and scary battle ahead of her and I hope we can give her some peace of mind during this hard time.
