Cass Vs. Cancer

Brain surgery and recovery support.

Hi! I’m Cass.

And apparently I’ve unlocked the worst possible side quest, brain cancer.

After months of being ignored and dismissed - on November 20, 2025, I had two focal seizures and finally got the news nobody wants. I have a brain tumor that needs removal ASAP.

So, on December 8, 2025, my amazing neurosurgeon at Mass General Hospital will literally crack my skull and try to evict this mutant in my head.

Unfortunately, even with this, my prognosis could be as little as two years. This tumor could be partially removed, but it will return. It is on my motor belt, so I am already partially paralyzed on my left side.

I’m a mom of two kids, amazing kids. I’m supposed to be doing normal Mom stuff! Instead, this is my life. MRIs, steroids, meds, seizure meds… trying not to fall apart.

Aftercare will be continued with chemo and radiation. This will not be a short battle.

I cannot work. I cannot drive. I need constant care. It’s happened so fast I couldn’t get to SSI yet. Meanwhile, bills and medical cost did not get cancer and won’t be taking time off.

Why am I asking for help? I fucking hate asking. I’m so serious, but brain surgery recovery and keeping two teenagers stable isn’t something I can shoulder alone HAAA especially when my shoulder doesn’t even work right now.

••Funds for;

*Transportation

*Grocery deliveries

medications supplies, recovery necessities.

*ANYTHING insurance decides to deem medically unnecessary.

*And just basic survival.

Dark humor is how I cope;

If I stop, I’ll cry and my skull has enough pressure already. Cancer picked the wrong bitch, but even the wrong bitch needs help with a big enough battle.

If you can donate, share or send some good vibes, it means everything.

Thank you for supporting me & kids with this terrifying, chaotic, sarcastic battle.

-Cass
