Stand with Jenni: Facing Cancer & CMT
Donation protected
Hi Everyone. I am reaching out to help a co-worker & friend, Jenni Harris.
In 2000, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. And even though she came out of that okay, the cancer has now returned. She has been diagnosed with
metastatic carcinoma in the brain membrane, which stems from the original breast cancer. The cancer is very rare (about 2% of people with breast cancer have this). Treatment will include medication and radiation to slow the progression; however, the medication is complicated because she also has CMT disease (Charcot-Marie-Tooth) present in her nervous system. Some of the cancer meds won't be tolerable. The combination of the CMT disease with metastatic cancer has rendered great weakness in her hands and feet, which has made her return to work as a massage therapist impossible.
Any donations are helpful and appreciated.
