<div>Hi everyone!, for those who dont know me I'm Desiree. I'm 34, a mother of 4 and a fiance.
</div>
<div>I just graduated Massage Therapy school in June, and currently running my business for the past 2 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unexpectedly on August 27, 2025 I went to the urgent care because I had shortness of breath and chest pain. I got the news that Dr's found a tumor growing on my adrenal gland and its pressing against my heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After seeing specialists on September 25, 2025 Dr's broke the news that turned our world upside down! They confirmed I have Adrenal Cortical Cancer, this is a very rare and aggressive cancer, where 1 in a million have a chance of getting this. This tumor is growing in my adrenal gland (sits right ontop of our kidneys) and into my Inferior Vena Cava and possibly into my heart.
</div>
<div>The Inferior vena cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body back to the heart. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately having this diagnosis I will need open heart surgery to remove the cancerous tumor. I will need to stay in the hospital for a few weeks to recover. Then I will start chemotherapy. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even after being discharged from the hospital, I will be out of work for 3+ months for recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Having to be away from home and unable to work will place a significant strain on our household. We split our expenses 50/50 and not having 1 income will be detrimental. My fiance will have to miss work due to frequent Dr visits he has to take me to and this will cause a strain on our family financially, I am asking for help for those who can so I focus on recovering to get back to my kids, fiance, and my career that I've built a community of helping people feel better.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you once again for those who can donate and help out. And if you can't thats ok too. I just ask you help by sharing my story with friends, family and community. Thank you once again ✨️
