Our niece Stephanie Lynch,  our brother Michael's daughter,  is battling  Diffuse B Cell Lymphoma.

Stephanie has two children, one who has special needs and up to recently has been has been working 2 jobs to support herself and provide support to her two children.

Lymphoma typically has a high percentage rate of response to chemo. Unfortunately for Stephanie, she has not responded to the first two rounds of chemo, making her ineligible for stem cell treatment. Stephanie has begun the process of Car-T Therapy at Dana Farber - Brigham Women's. Car T Therapy is a new and exciting treatment where they remove your T cells and genetically alter them in a lab.  Once the T cells are returned to her body, they will aggressively target and god willing, hopefully kill the cancer.

 

While undergoing this treatment Stephanie will be unable to work for 90 to 120 days and  require around the clock care due the side effects of this new therapy.

 

Stephanie's life to date has been less than easy.   She has bravely battled more of her fair share of  life's disappointments.  Stephanie is stubborn and tough, traits  she shared with her late Dad, Michael,  that have helped her greatly as she faces this challenge.   Every day since she has been diagnosis Stephanie has gotten up and continued to  worked to provide for herself without a single complaint or "why me?".

 

As a family we  fully supporting Stephanie thru this battle but she is extremely independent self supporting young lady. Any financial help you can donate to Stephanie is greatly appreciated so that she can put all her energy and focus on fighting the Cancer.

 

If you are unable to assist,  healing prayers are greatly appreciated as well.
