Family, friends, or anyone that does not already know what is going on with my mom, Mary Ketcherside. 17 months ago she was diagnosed with a golf ball size stage 4 Glioblastoma cancerous tumor on the left side of her brain. Since this cancer is one of the most deadly and aggressive cancers known, her surgeon said she may have 18 months of life. She went through brain surgery where they removed about 95% of the tumor. Due to the nature of this specific kind of cancer and aggressive type that it is, they would never be able to remove all of it completely. All they could really do is try to slow the growth, to a certain extent. She has gone through many months of chemotherapy and radiation, along with other types of therapy and medication with little to no luck.

Her cognitive abilities along with some motor controls are really starting to decline. Her ability to convey (reading & writing) her thoughts are getting worse as the days go by. She is really starting to have trouble understanding a lot of regular conversations and daily activities.

My mom has never had any kind of life insurance or any funds set back for an emergency of this type. The family is in desperate need of donations moving forward for final expenses. Any help would be very much appreciated by the family and mean the world to her as well.
