My beautiful Cara

Donation protected
Here’s my girl. 24. Young and beautiful. We recently found out she has Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Started with some chest pains. She was actually excited on her way to the doctor. She had not been feeling well for a few months. I remember her saying “I’m about to get some antibiotics and feel better!”. She thought it was pneumonia. After an ex ray they found a mass behind her lung. She was told she needed to come back in a couple of days for a biopsy. They also mentioned cancer. She called me that evening. “Mom the craziest thing happened.” Next thing we know it is in fact cancer and it is the size of an orange. Next day port, then the next her first chemo appt. She kept repeating “this is happening so fast.” We have bawled, we have laughed. My daughter is a single mom with a one year old baby boy. Her insurance only allows 6 prescriptions a month. 6 that’s it. Regardless of what your illness is. We were told she would need to pay for the ones that were affordable. I immediately thought this surely could not be true, but sadly when I spoke to the social worker it is very true. Easy for some who can afford a $40 script. Not so easy for her. Did I also mention this kid wants a wig?!?! She did cut her beautiful long hair off today. We were told her hair would be gone in 20 days. Her treatment is currently in Hot Springs, AR. We are tying to get it moved to Jonesboro where we could be closer. Hot Springs is a 3 1/2 hr drive for her. Any donation would be greatly appreciated on this journey. She is on fire for Jesus. This is going to be an amazing testimony when this over. God bless!! God speed Cara Ashley...God is all over this!
