*Carla's Health Journey*
On May 29, 2024, Carla was rushed to the hospital with severe appendicitis and underwent emergency appendectomy surgery. During the procedure, doctors discovered a tumor on her appendix pressing against her intestine.
*Diagnosis and Treatment*
Following a week-long hospitalization at Unity Point, Carla was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. On July 7, 2024, she underwent a chemo procedure at Mayo Clinic to eradicate cancer cells in her stomach lining, which included:
- Removal of a portion of her large intestine
- Removal of multiple lymph nodes
*Complications and Ongoing Battle*
Months later, Carla experienced debilitating stomach pain, leading to another hospitalization at Unity Point starting October 13, 2024. She was diagnosed with a small intestine blockage.
Currently, Carla is being treated at Mayo Clinic (since October 20, 2024) for the intestinal restriction and various other complications.
*Support Carla's Recovery*
Your donations will directly support Carla's accumulating hospital bills. Any contribution helps, as her husband Steve has been unable to work while caring for her in Minnesota.
Thank you for taking the time to read Carla's story. Our family deeply appreciates your kindness.
