Support for Amy's Final Journey

My name is Lindsey Brickhouse and I’m the oldest of four siblings. We have been faced with a difficult situation at a young age: our Mom is currently dying of SCLC that has metastasized to her liver and some bones. This is our only living parent as we buried our father in 2019.

Here’s a little back story:

Our mom, Amy, had a cold that she could not get rid of from April to July 2024. After many doctor appointments that put her on antibiotics for treatment, she finally went to a local emergency room after she developed shortness of breath and lost 15 pounds. On July 13, 2024, Mom had a CT scan that found tumors in her lungs and various other places that were suspicious for cancer. On July 26, 2024, she had a biopsy of the largest tumor in her lungs. This confirmed our horrible suspicions of one of the worst cancers you can have: small cell lung cancer.

She has been treated ECU HEALTH Medical Center Oncology since August of 2024. She tried several different chemo options, some radiation and a new immunotherapy treatment. There has been so many prayers said over Mom, all of her children, her cancer and her caretakers! After multiple side effects, several hospitalizations and a stroke, it was determined the cancer was very aggressive and stopped responding to chemotherapy. Mom decided to stop treatment and moved to Hospice.
