Dear family, friends and compassionate souls,

We come to you with heavy hearts to share the heartbreaking news of my mom's health.

For those of you who know my mom know she is truly one of a kind, she's friendly, talkative, easy going and not shy to ask you personal questions that she will remember for the next 20 years. If you live in chico then you have probably seen her riding her bike with her signature helmet strapped on tight.

October 25th, 2022 We said goodbye to our dad and my mom's ride or die of 37 years. We are still in the healing process of losing him and unfortunately life doesn't stop as we face my mom's health take a turn.

January 9th her health took a big turn and what felt like out of nowhere. she went into a diabetic coma with blood sugar levels around 500, not knowing she was diabetic. With a quick hospital stay and 4 insulin injections a day, she was doing better.

Only two short weeks later she was back in the hospital, she was unable to move, use the bathroom on her own or eat much. She was there for a week then transferred to rehab for a week. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's which explained why she was unable to move very well, they put her on medication that helped a lot with the Parkinson's symptoms.

Before she was released, she was taken back to the hospital where they found she has stage 4 pancreatic cancer which has already spread to her liver.

Within a very short amount of time her health has rapidly declined, she doesn't eat much so the weight lose has been pretty drastic. As far as cancer treatment they gave us a 6-month life expectancy without chemo, and with chemo 10 months. Shes already is so sick and weak that we have decided to not go through with chemo. We are hoping to try some alternative options like acupuncture, vitamin C therapy and a few others.

At this time her health is declining rapidly we will be very lucky to have 6 months with her.

Life unfortunately doesn't stop when a family member is sick. My hope is to spend as much time as I can with her and in doing so help her be as comfortable as possible. We are asking for financial support to alleviate some stress and prepare for end-of-life measures and expenses.
