Sandy’s fight against Leiomyosarcoma cancer

Hi all, I’ve decided to put together a GoFundMe page for my parents. My mom has probably been through one of the worst years of her life. She was diagnosed in November 2020 with Leiomyosarcoma cancer where they found a tumor in her pathology report. Leiomyosarcoma is an extremely aggressive form of cancer. Her doctor ordered for the tumor to be taken out which consisted of two separate surgery’s. My mom was in remission till the end of June when her six month check up scan showed new tumors in her pelvis, along with lymph node involvement and her lungs. Chemo treatments were recommended immediately. After her third week of chemotherapy she was hospitalized due to allergies to chemo, ascites( fluid ) in the stomach, and caught pneumonia all from

Chemotherapy. Her doctor ordered 3 separate blood transfusions as her body was making improper blood with extremely low salt levels. Chemo has come to complete stop. Unfortunately her cancer has grown a lot and now involves most of her abdominal cavity. After spending this past week in the hospital again we are praying Boston will come up with a new treatment plan for her but this all comes with a price. With my mom taking so much time off from work and my dad as well helping her back and forth from the doctors I’ve decided to ask our friends and family for some assistance for medical and living expenses as it’s unclear when she will be able to go back to work. We are meeting with a new specialist Tuesday October 12th and hope to have some more answers. As of right now we are thinking more surgeries are ahead and hope to come up with a new treatment plan to which she is not allergic to. Please know that our family has been very quiet about this. Only extremely close relatives and friends have known. We are extremely thankful to everyone who has helped thus far. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you
