Hi, my name is Melissa Gregory. I was diagnosed with lymphoma on December 18th. I am a single mother of 2 children and have been an independent contractor grooming dogs.

I'm reaching out hoping to raise money, as I've already been struggling to work due to stress, testing, and doctor appointments. I have bills that need to be paid to allow me and my children and my pets to stay in our home without disruption.

She's gonna hate that I posted this picture.

She's been staying with me at the hospital all while she could be out having fun with friends while she's off on winter break from school. She's motivated me to get out of bed and keep moving, she's helped me get dressed when I couldn't get my gown all tied up, she's taken my clothes home and got them washed, she's taken care of the dogs and cats and ran errands for me when needed. I couldn't ask for a better hospital partner she's been the best

Was released from the hospital. Will be back again on the 17th of January.

Finally home! My body is so sore from having a lumbar puncture where they poked me 4 different times because they couldnt find the right spot to get the fluid out. Other then that, my sleep schedule is all jacked up and I can't trust a fart because they decided to give me a fun little cocktail before I was able to leave. Now if my stomach can just settle down. I might need to get some depends in the meantime

The next 2 weeks are looking like a schedule fun of doctor appointments.

I have one on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 10th, 13th, and 16th. . Please keep praying and thinking about me and my family.
