Sarah (31), was recently diagnosed with Mediastinal Large B Cell Lymphoma. Sarah and her husband (Brandon), share two wonderful children, Hope (2) and Michael (1).

The type of lymphoma Sarah has is a rare sub-type of aggressive B cell lymphoma, accounting for only 2-3% of all Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cases and has only been studied since the 1980s. A positive outlook for this type of cancer is high at 80-90%, but not guaranteed. 

Sarah will be receiving an intensive inpatient chemotherapy regimen (R-EPOCH) starting March 30th that will hospitalize her 5-6 days a week every 21 days for 4 months. This means she will be home from the hospital for roughly 2 weeks between hospital stays until mid-July if all goes as planned. 

This support will go toward medical bills, child care, home care and meals while Sarah is away from her family and home recovering from chemotherapy. 

Support of any amount is deeply appreciated but not expected. Other ways to support are to share Sarah’s story by sharing out this support page to your networks.

Sarah‘s cancer was asymptomatic and likely would have gone unnoticed until severe symptoms surfaced and the cancer was much larger. Late in 2022, Sarah and Brandon were expecting their third child. However, at their 12 week appointment, it was discovered that Sarah was experiencing a missed-miscarriage, meaning the baby’s heartbeat was not detected from the ultrasound. Sarah was given medication to expel the remaining conception material as to not become septic, and seven hours after the first dose Sarah was fighting for her life in the ER. She was experiencing severe blood loss and received a 9 unit mass blood transfusion. She was then rushed into emergency surgery as soon as the transfusion was completed and while recovering at home a week later, she was driven back into the ER. She was having severe headaches from the what was later diagnosed as TACO (transfusion-associated circulatory overload). Once back in the ER, she had a scan of her head that luckily covered part of her chest and an abnormality was discovered. Upon a second, more detailed scan, the doctors ordered a biopsy. Ultimately, the diagnosis came back as a blood cancer. If not for Sarah’s Angel baby this disease may have not been found until the cancer was much worse.
