I grew a lump in my neck at 14 years old, exactly on my birthday.

When we went to the doctors, they said that I have a cyst and will have to do surgery on it, but an antibiotic (unsure what it is, sorry) made it go away. After some months, another lump grew on my back (upper/shoulder area - across the neck).

They did a de-bulking to see what it was and found it was a desmoid tumor (noncancerous) and wanted to start chemotherapy (IV), which made it horribly bigger and worse, wrapping around my spinal cord, ribs, and crushing my muscles. It was slowly entering my lungs, causing shortness of breath and liquid to reach near my heart.

At 17, I got surgery in October, and it was gone for 5 months. The right side of my tumor grew back, and I was on 3 different oral chemos at different times, and none of them worked.

In April, I started being admitted into the hospital till this day (July 12th, 2025).

One hospital kept discharging me, saying nothing is wrong, even though now my tumor is busting out of my skin. Another hospital ran tests (the only hospital to do tests).

They found the liquid in my chest, did surgery to drain it, and then ran more tests and found that I have Sarcoma. (Fuck cancer!)

They told my father I have a few months to live. Family visited me, and the hospital discharged me and told my mom to drive me out to Cali or Utah because they don't have someone to help my case in Vegas.

So we went, but they cannot take me (YET) because they’re waiting for approval from my doctor.

All the while, I am slowly dying and on oxycodone and morphine for pain.

Bucket list experiences, quality of life support, family support, funeral arrangements, and even if I don’t make it then at least my family will be set.

This fundraiser is for me, a young person battling a severe and aggressive form of cancer, who wants to live and love all the life she possibly can with her loved ones before she closes her eyes.
