Medical Treatment for Ilsa "Lilly" Archibold

Hi, my name is Leah Archibold, and I am fundraising for my Mom (pictured), Ilsa "Lilly" Archibold. She has been diagnosed with Stage 1 B2 Adenocarcinoma cervix cancer. Below is her message:

 

"Hi, on May 24th, 2021, I got a pap smear done, and the results came back abnormal; my doctor advised me that I would need a biopsy on June 23rd, 2021. On June 29th, I received a call from my doctor who requested my husband and I to meet with her in-person about the results. I immediately had a feeling that this was not going to be good news.

 

As soon as we walked in to the doctor's office, she said "I'm sorry." I started to cry and asked if I had cancer. She responded with "No worries, we will do a surgery, and everything will be alright." On August 4th, 2021, I had a Radical Hysterectomy with a follow up every 3 months.

 

Since March 2022, I started developing more pain, fatigue, dizziness, etc. I then had a CT scan where the doctors discovered a tissue thickening on the left side of my pelvis. I have now been directed to the Cleveland Clinic in Florida, USA for further treatment.

 

My husband has family health insurance; however, it only covers 80%, excluding accommodation, transportation, special foods, etc. The hospital requires an upfront deposit which I do not have as I am unemployed, and my husband's salary is the only source of income. In addition, we still have other bills to be paid in Cayman.

 

At this time, I am unsure how long I will be in the hospital My appointment is on June 21st, 2022. 

 

I am a very positive individual, and I am holding onto Philippians 4:13.

 

If you are unable to donate, please keep me in your prayers. Thank you!"
