Fighting for my life with cancer

Donation protected

Hello Family and Friends,

My name is Lo Ieru and I'm writing to ask for your help. We are a family of 4 sisters, both parents deceased, &  we all have spouses.  In addition to our family, we have been blessed with 5 nieces 1 nephew & 1 grandnephew. Our family circle continues to grow, but we have lost our brother inlaw, (Isaac ) to Lung Cancer onJan. 21, 2013.  Later on that year his grandson (the grandnephew) filled the missing spot to our circle.  Unfortunately, for the 2nd time around, our family is now facing another battle of cancer.  Our youngest sister, (Nita) is now battling with cancer in her stomach & in addition to that, there are 3 plum size tumors in there as well.  This is the 1st time we have reached a stage of seeking help from outside of our family circle.   Just knowing that everyone is going through their own hardships, makes it difficult to ask for help.  However we cannot do it alone.  We hope and pray that if there are others out there who may be able to help, your contributions & prayers will be greatly appreciated.   Here is a little bit about Nita's story.  She & her husband have been together for 18 yrs (married for 5 of those years).   Their wedding was here in Oregon on Oct. 31,2010 on Halloween. Every year it usually rains on Halloween but on this very special day of theirs, the good Lord bleesed it with nothing but sunshine & clear skies. This is 1 of the signs proving that these 2 were meant to be.  We spent the night before,  trying to make sure the pouring rain wouldnt damage all we prepared for the wedding, the next day. It was done in my back yard.  It was an amazing, dry, sunny day (the whole day). Lucky me, that was the 1st & the last wedding ever done in my back yard, (lol)   Along their journey, children has always been a dream for them. They worked hard at trying to achieve their dreams and goal on having a family together.  Conceiving a baby was not a problem, but being able to carry the child was difficult for Nita.  She miscarried every time.  About 7 times to be accurate. She sufferred alot from constant bleeding, becoming anemic.  Regardless of the heartaches from losing all her babies, she still had the strength to keep trying.  After trying for 10 years she came to the conclusion that Hystorectomy was what she wanted to do to stop suffering from all the beeding problems.  In the process of doing so, they discovered that her uteres had contained cancer cells.  On Oct. 22, 2014 they performed major surgery, doing the Hystorectomy & removing all the cancers cells that were visible.  It took 6 long hours to do 4 different operations on her with a team of 12 that included 5 specialist surgeons, who  worked long & hard to have a successful surgery.   The surgery went well and they were able to get everything out including the cancer cells & fiberoids (tumors) that were visible to them.  Doctor's encouraged for Nita to do chemotherapy afterwards.  It was said that this therapy should get rid of any cancer cells that they may not have been visible or missed during the surgery.   However between the time of her surgery & Chemotherapy treatments up toJan. 2015, not once did they bother to check whether or not the Cancer cells were returning.  to make a long story short,  Nita had gone to the hsopital with complaints of tummy pains, big bumps in her stomach & vaginal bleeding.  They took a CT scan on Jan. 22, 2015 & discovered that her tummy had 3 tumors & cancer cells that is spreading all over her tummy.  As you can imagine this news truly hit her hard.  How DO YOU GO FROM BEING ALMOST CANCER FREE AND THEN 3 MONTHS LATER YOU HAVE IT SPREAD THROUGH OUT YOUR STOMACH AND FIND 3 TUMORS THE SIZE OF A PLUM IN YOUR STOMACH and not catch that right away?  Even during chemotherapy it seemed that she was doing better, but in a short time she is now at a stage where it is almost unbearable.  That's why we are asking for your help to help Nita fight this cancer battle. Nita is an amazing person who has one of the biggest hearts for all those around her.  She is loved by all who gets to know her & FAMILY & FRIENDS are the most important to her.  She doesn't hesitate when you are in need, & if she cannot provide during your time of need, she offers her time to listen and to comfort you as well as her wisdom/knowledge from experience to share advice, and she is the best person in the world at making you laugh anytime of the day or night.  Her hands are blessed to play the ukulele & her voice is the most touching when she sings.  I wish every one in the world could meet her & fall in love with her the way we all have.  Your contributions will be and is most definitely worth using on her, especially now that we are having to pay her medical bills and medication out of pocket, this will help in so many ways and more for her and for her husband who is and has been paying for everything on their own since her medical insurance has been dropped from her job without notice to Nita. Anthony Ieru-Adams has been the most amazing husband to her and has been by her side every single day and night and he has not once left her side. He has been there from day one with his wife (Nita Ieru-Adams) and we have been with them side by side every second of the day and night. May GOD be with her in time of need and we pray he blesses her with individuals around the world who will hear her story and be touched to help contribute to her need.  We are truly greatful for all your help.  Be safe and be blessed, from our family to yours.

                     

 

 

 



Love always,
Ieru-Adams Family
