Sue Gordon has dedicated her life to service to her community. Her two adopted daughters think they are the luckiest kids in world to have such wonderful parents and have tried to follow her example. She is known throughout Doylestown as someone who is always there for anyone that needs her. Her kindness, support and wisdom has made her an integral part of so many lives.
Now this special family is struggling with the medical crisis that Sue faces. After dealing with Autoimmune Hepatitis for 10 years, she has now is diagnosed with brain cancer and has the gene for Glioblastoma, putting her at even greater risk as it is the most aggressive form of brain cancer and the hardest to treat.
Sue’s doctor has told her that she needs the Proton Radiation therapy in order for them to more accurately treat the many lesions without destroying healthy brain tissue. The only treatment the insurance company will pay for is the Photon Radiation which lacks the precision and has many debilitating side effects. Without insurance coverage, the Proton Therapy costs between $140,000 and $150,000. With the Photon therapy, her doctor has estimated 2-3 years life expectancy. Her doctor has told her that she can’t start with the Photon therapy and then change to the Proton if she wins her appeal. He has also told her that since she has the Glioblastoma gene, it is critical that she begin therapy immediately as her future is affected by any delay. When friends and family stepped forward and said they’d help finance the Proton therapy by starting this Go Fund Me Campaign, her doctor said, “Well, That’s a game changer!”
Sue and Paul have lived in Doylestown, PA for 20 years in their starter home. They will be celebrating their 27th anniversary in September. Paul is a railroad engineer and Sue has worked mostly in the IT field and assisted with the administration of Clinical Field Trials. Sue is also a Doylestown Borough Council Member and Chairs the Public Safety Committee and serves on the Zoning and Public Works Committees. She has volunteered to do fundraising for numerous charities and worked in the Soup Kitchen in Trenton. She also volunteered with her daughters’ schools, going on field trips and helping in the classroom. Her oldest daughter is Tatiana who has graduated from Bucks County Community College in Journalism and her younger daughter is a Junior at CB West and has just been elected to be a committee person.
