To All Angels,

One of our friends, family, classmates, members of our community is facing the battle of her life….  

In 2013 Tracy Patton (Barnes) was diagnosed with
 Stage IV Ovarian Cancer.


Since that time she has undergone a major 6 hour surgery, 29 chemo treatments, hundreds of appointments, countless scans and 2 remissions..She exemplifies a “Warrior Spirit” with grace and immense courage. During her two remissions Tracy was an active fundraiser for Ovarian Cancer and patient advisor for the new Cancer Centre in Calgary.

Unfairly, her cancer has returned—Tracy is now battling to prove she can force this cancer into remission for the third time. Having had extensive chemo that damaged her vision and hearing, her options are now very limited.

Most likely this will be her last attempt at chemo.

This is why supplemental Naturopathic treatments are so critical and urgent. Tracy's cancer has proven to be atypical and responsive to treatment - crossing the 5 year timeline - all cancer patients aim for. She has already shown how her tenacity, courage and strength have beaten this awful disease twice. She is prepared and determined to do it again.

“I know doubling these treatments will most likely make me sicker, in the short term, but I know I can tackle anything if it might give me another chance for remission”.  She’s a fighter…and has great strength and fortitude to face this.


Her determination has inspired and ignited “Tracys Angels” to reach out in support to help her handle the additional burden cancer patients face while fighting this relentless disease. It is very costly and many patients incur huge debt adding additional stress to an already difficult time in their life. Her options and quality of life may be greatly expanded due to the generosity of others.  Your support will provide Tracy with the gift of time and capture better days ahead. She is very excited that this kindness will give her more HOPE.

After a consult with her Oncology team they have encouraged her to supplement her chemo with additional Naturopathic Oncology therapies. Research has shown that these IV treatments will greatly enhance her chemo. Her support team recognize the huge benefit Naturopathic Oncology has provided patients, in faster recovery and remission. They encourage her to seek this elsewhere as it is not covered by her health plan. Thanks to the generous efforts of “Tracy’s Angels” they have assisted with lifting this financial burden and provided the first two Naturopathic treatments and ongoing general care. 

Each Naturopathic Treatment Plan (combination of 7 therapies) costs $2400.00 per round of traditional chemo.

Tracy’s Angels hope to raise $15,000.00 to cover all six rounds of chemo and supplemental costs.

To date “Tracy’s Angels” have raised $7895.00!!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!


Tracy and her family are extremely humbled, grateful and overwhelmed by your outpouring of love and wanted to share how important your gift has meant to her fight.    



As she approached her second chemo treatment Tracy was given shocking news, her bloodwork indicated they would not be able to proceed with chemo… All hope was lost.

With the assistance of your donations Tracy was assessed by her Naturopathic Oncologist and provided IV treatments and repeat bloodwork. Miraculously, her bloodwork dramatically improved, allowing her to proceed with chemo….astounding her medical team!! She conquered her second round of chemo with the same grit and determination…spending 6 hours at the Tom Baker Cancer Clinic immediately followed by another 2 hours at the Pyatt Naturopathic Oncology Health Center. 

“Those additional treatments have given me more strength and well being…providing me with…my best chemo experience yet!
I am having a great day!” 


If it wasn’t for your kindness and generosity Tracy would not be able to proceed with chemo. Tracy’s Angels have truly become life savers!! 

She is now better prepared to face the next phase. Her fight is ongoing and she will be facing her greatest challenge yet. On Dec. 21st she prepares for her third round of chemo. Each treatment will continue to become progressively more difficult. Tracy’s Angels have determined that a GofundMe account will provide a better way to communicate with family and friends and make it easier to donate, creating a greater benefit for Tracy. 

We gratefully asked that you join Tracy's Angels and continue to reach out in love and support and please feel free to hit SHARE!

Collaboratively, our efforts can make a difference,…most importantly….providing…HOPE and LOVE.

♥️Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Tracy’s Angels
