Michele Farah's Last Cancer Removal Surgery

***UPDATE TO THE UPDATE***OK, I didn't make THAT date goal but I'm still going for May 9th. I'm so appreciative for all the support given so far. Any support given now pushes toward the May 9th goal and helps with my meds. They cost $180/wk. Pretty pricey for me. So thank ypu in advance to some, and thanks again to those that have already supported me.I am so grateful

**UPDATE**Assuming I can accomplish the goal here...tentative date of surgery is Feb. 29th. Carcinoid measured 3.2mm at last visit. Growing slightly faster than the other 2. Any and all help is appreciated

Hi,

I'm Michele. In July of 2023, I was diagnosed with Stage 1a Typical Bronchial Carcinoid. On September 28th, with the loving help of my daughter, Shalyn, I was able to have the 2 tumors removed. She started a GFM for my meds and surgery and raised enough to accomplish the goal. All looked like it was going perfectly. But not quite. At my 3 month check up and scan, a third carcinoid was revealed. I couldn't believe it. I thought I was winning the fight but not yet. BUT I WILL. I, once again received help from the hospital charity fund but I still need to come up with $4000. That's relatively small compared to the last one. I still take the Sandostatin but take 200 mcg/d 2 x a month now instead of the daily doses i was taking. Still pricey though. I feel good about the prognosis. My doctor requested a 3D scan of my lung to check all possible angles for any more sneaky spots to hide. Nope....just the one. It is 1.75mm, but it is growing so I am once again hoping for your support. Anything helps. If you cannot help financially, its ok. Please share this link. I am so very grateful to everyone who helped before and for any future help provided. Here's to getting this ugliness out of me once and for all. Thank you for reading and sharing. Much love to you all.

Michele
