Amanda's Battle Against Cancer

Donation protected
At 10 weeks pregnant,  Amanda and her husband Justin went to the doctor to take a blood test that would tell them the gender of their second precious child.  A couple of weeks later when the results had come back, unfortunately, the doctor had bad news.  She said the test results indicated that they were having a baby boy, but that there were abnormalities the test was picking up.  She explained that it was either one of two things.  The doctor said "Either the fetus is deformed to the point where it is not able to sustain life and has stopped growing, or this sometimes indicates a cancer in the mother." They went to an emergency ultrasound the next day, and to their excitement, everything looked perfectly healthy with the baby! The doctor then turned her attention to Amanda.  When an enlarged lymph node was found in her neck, an ENT performed a biopsy, just to be safe. They got the results back a week later, and a second biopsy confirmed a couple of days ago, on January 18th, the unexpected and shocking news that Amanda has Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Her oncologist wants to start an aggressive chemo in the next couple of weeks.  Although she loves her job, the doctor has told her she has to quit in order to fight the cancer for her and her unborn child.  At just 25 years old, she has quite a battle ahead of her.  I know that she, her husband Justin, and their two-year-old son Jackson would so appreciate your prayers and support.  As a young family just starting out, they are looking at having to pay astronomical medical bills in addition to regular expenses throughout this ordeal.  They honestly have no idea at this time how they will do that.  Any amount of money or sharing of this link is so appreciated, and if you aren't able to give, that is also perfectly fine because your prayers are what mean the most to them.  Thank you!
