Support Marlo Pascual in Her Fight Against Cancer
Donation protected
Our dear friend, amazing artist, doting dog mother and loving wife, Marlo Pascual was recently diagnosed with stage 3 clear cell ovarian cancer. On March 28th, she underwent surgery to have a seven inch cancerous mass that had metastasized and was spreading upwards removed. Marlo was released from the hospital after a five-day stay and now is on the road to recovery at home with her husband Aaron and pups, Jojo & Peanut, by her side. She is preparing for the long road of chemotherapy treatments ahead.
Marlo knew something was amiss a year and a half ago and in her struggle to get well she visited numerous doctors and specialists while simultaneously embarking on homeopathic and holistic treatments. These efforts to gain a diagnosis and understanding of what was wrong were largely unsuccessful—horribly, her previous primary care doctor suggested glibly that ‘maybe she just needs to talk to a therapist’. Very sadly, blood work and scans were only suggested after the tumor became visibly apparent through Marlo's abdomen. Marlo’s illness has greatly affected her ability to work leaving Aaron as the sole income source for the family. She will be starting her course of chemotherapy in the coming weeks and Aaron will be taking time off work to be Marlo's caregiver.
We all wish for some peace of mind and calm for Marlo and Aaron during this difficult time and want only for Marlo's energies to be focused on fighting cancer. Your donations will go directly to the already mounting medical bills, those on the horizon, and also will relieve some financial strain so that Aaron can be present to care for Marlo during her treatments.
If you know Marlo, she is the last person to ask for anything, so we are reaching out to all friends and colleagues to come together in support.
We love you, Marlo!!
