Support for Jade’s Medical Expenses
Last October Jade was experiencing neck pain with radiculopathy. After two severe flare ups her boss ordered an MRI of her neck. The MRI showed that Jade had multiple masses on her thyroid and recommended additional testing. Since then, Jade has consulted with a throat surgeonand been under the care of an amazing Endocrinologist. The largest growth was recently biopsied which came back as atypical with a 50% risk of malignancy. At her most recent ultrasound an additional growth had developed.
Jade is a single mother and even with insurance the multiple co-pays for specialist visits and testing have added up.
Jade is now being referred to an expert thyroid cancer specialist and surgeon in Tampa. The initial consultation is not covered by insurance and is $1500. We know that Jade will have to have a thyroidectomy but are unsure what additional testing, medication and possible cancer treatment will be. The surgery will be at Trinity Hospital in Tampa. Her hospital deductible is very high.
Anyone that knows Jade, knows that asking for help is hard for her. But we realize we can’t do it without support. Any donation is a small piece of mind for her so she can focus on her health and her son. Her prognosis is great and we will have more answers after her consultation and surgery.
Thank you,
