This picture, from December 2019, was taken about a few days before our beautiful 27 year old daughter, Paige, found out she had appendix cancer. This was also about a month after she gave birth to her third son following a challenging hyperemesis gravidarum pregnancy. After having her appendix removed, undergoing right hemicolectomy surgery, and then 3-4 months of chemotherapy, we all thought she was well on her way to a full recovery. However, a cancer recurrence was discovered at her recent checkup in October. Plans were made for surgery again and she was referred to meet a specialist in Toronto for her treatment plan after recovery. Unfortunately, she received another setback this past week. Surgery couldn’t be performed because the cancer spread is more than the surgeon first thought. Paige and her husband are now anxiously waiting to be called to Toronto for most likely HIPEC surgery and treatment. This means a long and challenging road ahead for her to beat cancer and to achieve a complete recovery. With her not being able to work, having 3 young boys at home, and with her husband having to take a leave from work, they would greatly appreciate any financial assistance people have to offer. We as her parents want to help ease her worries and want her to focus on getting well. Any little bit will help with bills and added expenses while she’s in Toronto. Paige and Alec also want everyone to know that whatever money is not used by them will be donated to cancer research. Thank- you all for your support and well wishes. May God bless you all Rachelle and Keith Stewart
