My mother during this financial hardship

Hi my name is Isabella and have 3 brothers . Our mother is Marisa Castillo and as most of you know by now we have recently learned she has cancer. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 4 on July 6, 2023. A simple trip to the Er back on May 26th for abdomen pain is where our family first learned of the mass that was growing in my mothers pelvis causing her pain and that also lead to other internal complications. This caused her kidneys to fail and 50% of her kidneys became infected. This led to her having to be transferred to Dallas and have a nephrostomy done. Tubes were sewed into her kidneys and have been placed there until her oncologist begins to treat the tumor that lead to the infection in her kidneys. She spent several days in Dallas clearing up the infection. With everyones prayers and support she was able to pull through and her kidneys began to function on their own and showed no problem. Soon after, she developed blood clot in her right leg causing her to swell in both legs completely and preventing her from walking with assistance. About 2 weeks later she developed a blood infection in her right kidney that put her back in the hospital for more ongoing kidney treatment . She has beat the kidney infection, blood infection and blood clot but as you can see , my mother has complication after complication and we ask for continued prayers. Our mother is a strong woman with a strong faith in God.

She has been through so much already and this is just the beginning of her journey, her fight , her new chapter in her life. Her oncologist informed our family and confirmed a week ago she is being diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 4 and surgery is not an option at this time. Without treatments she has possibly 6 months to spend with her family and with treatment she has a good chance of spending 30 months or more with her family.

Of course she has chose to take her oncologist advise and move forward with treatment . It will be a rough road physically, emotionally and of course financially. She currently has insurance which has covered the majority of her doctor appointments but we are now beginning chemo treatments, along with numerous testing she is still required to on go before treatments and during treatments. As most know insurance will only cover so much and the remainder of her treatment expenses will be covered out of pocket. My dad has done everything and put every cent he has acquired into getting our mother back to her healthy and normal self. Me and my brothers do all we can to help financially as well but my father has now lost his job due to caring for her and making sure she gets to her appointments. With that being said, my family has found themselves overwhelmed with with our house bills along with medical bills that are starting to pile up. My mother and father are both to proud to ask for Finacial assistance. I have set up this go fund me in their behalf in hopes to reach out to as many of you who know my mother and would like to donate anything to help during this hard time. If you could please find the time to continue to pray and donate whatever possible , if possible to my mother, my family we would be so grateful and forever thankful !
