My Moms Skin Cancer On Her Face Is Back

Donation protected

My mom was diagnosed with Basil Cell Cancer on her left cheek about 8 years ago. Through a procedure she had it removed and went home for four days with a dollar coin sized deep, open wound on her face (can you imagine). A few days later she met with the Plastic Surgeon who reconstructed her face. He did a fabulous job and could barely see the 4 in scar across her face. 

Since the surgery everything was going great until about 18 months ago when all of a sudden her scar began to attach to her bone, twist and swell pulling her nose outward and eye downward. As anyone would be she was embarrassed and didn’t want to be seen in public with it  She started doing treatment with a doctor down in Excelsior, MN where he would do these painful procedures to try to release the scarring from the bone  that would cause a ton of bruising and swelling  she has been doing these procedures for about 9 months and after a few months she needed to cancel her health insurance because this doctor was too expensive and she couldn’t afford to pay for both  

Well I just (literally 15 minutes ago) got a phone call from her saying her cancer is back and now has spread into her nose and eye. She is nervous and scared and worried about finances but obviously has to get rid of the cancer and reconstruct her face. 


I know she will come out on top but honestly this is already so stressful for her and I wish I could help her out with her bills she is going to start getting but I just can’t. She needs help and doesn’t need money in this time to be stressing her out. 

I’ve never done this before but it’s all I can think of to help her. So please, if you wanted to donate something I would be so unbelievably grateful!

Thank you for listening to her story!
