My daughter has glioblastoma and needs treatment

Donation protected

Reagan finished chemo and radiation but has been fighting the side effects of the treatment and not the cancer. Tumor is gone and there has been no growth thus far which is a blessing. But she has been in and out of the hospital for weeks at a time since February and we almost lost her a couple of times. She had a blood infection and a fungal infection on her lungs and had to have a couple of emergency surgeries to save her life. Just recently she had to have 4 teeth removed because she had one loose one and it kept bleeding because she had low platelets and had been in the hospital for the last week because of post op fevers. 



Reagan had her tumor removed the day after thanksgiving. She has been recovering really well. We have been waiting for pathology to come back and let us know what type of cancer it is. All we know is the tumor was aggressive. They were able to get all of the tumor. More than likely the day after Christmas or the beginning of the new year Reagan and I will be going to the Mayo Clinic down in Rochester Minnesota. Which is about 6 hours from our home so she can receive proton radiation therapy for 6 weeks and then possible chemo for another 6 weeks. I will not be able to work and my husband will have to stay behind to work but trying to pay the bills on one salary is almost nearly impossible. Also we will have a couple of medical bills that I will need to take care of before we can start radiation. Anything helps and is a blessing and we are very grateful of everyone. 




Reagan had been complaining of headaches for the last 6 weeks and as any parent you think it is just a headache- Not a tumor. She’s healthy otherwise. Over the weekend she was in so much pain and throwing up and losing her ability to move her left arm so I took her to the ER. I had to advocate for my daughter because they too were just going to brush it off as stress. But I’m her mother and knew at this point it was something deeper- still didn’t think a tumor. But I was finally able to get her an MRI and it showed a 6cm tumor on her right side of her brain. She is having it removed this week and then it will be sent to pathology to test for cancer. We will be in the hospital for the foreseeable future and we are 1.5 hours from home. James and I will be out of work who knows how long so we can be with our daughter. I hate asking for anything but I really don’t want to have to worry about bills if I don’t have to.
