UPDATE Loretta's Fight Against Cancer
Donation protected
***UPDATE 10/31/2023***
Loretta had her 5th round of chemotherapy last week. She is slowly but surely approaching her halfway mark, with 12 rounds being the total.
Loretta has developed painful side effects, such as nausea, upset stomach, numbness/tingling in her hands, feet and mouth, neuropathy, sensitivity to cold, painful body aches, loss of taste, exhaustion, chemo brain fog, and bruises easily.
Loretta has also developed Diabetes and is anemic.
The hardest part is seeing her struggle to keep that beautiful smile, some days are rougher than others. I know she so badly wants to get back to her normal life.
Please keep her in your prayers as she continues down this road to health and healing.
***Latest Update***
Loretta started the 2nd of 12 rounds of chemotherapy on Monday, September 11.
The process goes as follows; she goes in to clinic on Monday for 6-6 1/2 hours of chemo, then leaves with a "fanny pack" which continues to administer chemo through Wednesday.
This will continue every other week for the next 6 months.
She did experience side effects afterwards of being tired, headache, neuropathy in both her hands and feet, vomiting, nausea, achy body and sensitivity to cold.
Please keep Loretta in your thoughts and prayers as she continues on her path to recovery.
Loretta does not have enough insurance to cover her medical bills so, I am asking for Go Fund Me, donations any amount big or small would be greatly appreciated.
Again thank you for all your support and your prayers.
***UPDATE***
August 13th Update
Loretta continues to heal from her surgery and as always, has a beautiful smile and a positive outlook on everyday!❤️
For the next 2 weeks her oncologist is having her do IV Iron infusions prior to starting her chemotherapy.
She had her chemo port surgically inserted a couple of weeks ago and the plan is to start chemotherapy on August 28th. It is scheduled every other week for 3 days in a row for the next 6 months.
This is a lot but as we have seen Loretta is one Strong Little Lady
Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,
We come together today to rally around my kind and generous daughter, Loretta, a brave woman who is in the fight for her life against Stage III Colon Cancer. As she faces this life-altering disease, Loretta's resilience shines through, inspiring us all to offer our unwavering support during this trying time.
Loretta's journey began in May 2023 when she experienced severe pain. After extensive testing and surgery, she was diagnosed with Stage III Colon Cancer. The news was life-shattering. Despite the immense emotional and physical toll, Loretta has remained steadfast in her determination to overcome this adversity and live life to the fullest.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to alleviate the financial burden that accompanies her ongoing treatments, chemotherapy, iron infusions, medications, and healthcare expenses (that are already way over $30,000+). These funds will enable Loretta to focus solely on her health and well-being, without the added stress of medical bills and financial constraints.
With your generous contribution, we can empower Loretta to access the best medical care, alternative treatments, and support systems necessary to enhance her chances of victory against colon cancer. Together, we can make a profound difference in her life and aid her in maintaining hope and positivity throughout her journey.
Every donation, no matter the size, plays a significant role in helping Loretta achieve her goal and rebuilding her life.
Additionally, your support extends beyond financial assistance; it serves as a beacon of hope, reminding Loretta that she is not alone in this fight.
Let us stand united, demonstrating the power of compassion and love. Share this fundraiser with your networks, spread the word, and let us create a community of support so strong that Loretta feels the collective strength of each and every one of us standing behind her.
You can also donate by cashapp at $lorettawintx, Zelle, or Paypal.
Thank you for supporting!
With love and hope from Our Family.
