To My Family, Friends and Loved Ones,

On December 12, 2024: I'll be having surgery #7 (yes, SEVENTH surgery) since 2019... Many of you know that despite all our hopes, my health has continued to decline after my Adrenalectomy in 2021. In August, it was discovered that I have a Functional Pituitary Cyst/Lesion with Hypophysitis. It's systemically causing Endocrine and Internal chaos. They've also discovered a new growth where my Left Adrenal Gland once resided. This surgery will include: a Hysterectomy Revision, Endometrioma(s) Removal, Removal of Metastatic Endometriosis and a Full Abdominal Exploration. If all goes according to plan, this surgery will quiet down one set of Functional Hormones. Scared doesn't even begin to cover how I feel...

I need your help. Trying to do this alone is too much, overwhelming and financially: I'm struggling under the weight of this. Your Donations will cover:

-Surgery deductible and copays

-Travel expenses to/from University of Chicago*

*surgery and post-op appointments

-Prescriptions

-Post Operative Appointments/Copays

Thank you, ALL OF YOU! Although the thought of another Christmas recovering from surgery again is horrible: I remain eternally optimistic. Never again will I take good health for granted...

Much Love, Susan
