This is certainly not an easy story to tell❤❤❤ But here it is :( My beautiful, God loving, mother of two wonderful children, loving wife, sweet, soft spoken, organic loving, sister of many, wonderful daughter, just really good all around person, etc.etc.... Has unfortunately been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (Cancer)!! It was found in her lymph nodes, ovaries, spine, and other areas with the stages being 3 or 4 (as we are still finding things out). We are all saddened and shocked with this diagnosis :( and still trying to figure out why???
Unfortunately, she has no insurance. They (her husband Jeff) is working on trying to get something in place, but due to pre-existing condition, it has not happened yet. We all know the expense of everyday Drs. apts., let alone the test that go along with having cancer, (so far, 4 ct scans, MRI, a lot of blood work, hospital stay, pain meds, radiation, chemo, etc...) I'm sure you get what I'm saying UGH!
I know that things are hard for everyone these days!! But I am asking if you could please find it in your heart to help her have a little less stress as she goes through this terrible ordeal. As her sister, I know how thankful and appreciative she is about Everything!! I know how much I, her children, Nick and Courtny, her husband Jeff, all of us would appreciate your help in any way!!!
She has an oncologist at Southcoast, Dr. Seng, in Fall River. She is lovely. She has said things that help us feel optimistic :) and to stay positive!! It's a very scary thing to go thru (to put it lightly). I would just like to help her feel a little better by going on this site and try to help by her by reaching out to family and friends for a little financial help to try and ease some of the stress! It's bad enough to suffer in pain everyday, as she has been for months now, thinking it was an intestinal problem. She could not stand or deal with the pain anymore, which led her to the hospital, and the terrible findings, CANCER :(
Thank you so much for reading my story, a very sad one at that! And thank you for helping if you can!!
Her sister,
Karen
