IN NEED OF A BLESSING
Donation protected
Praise the Lord family and friends. Most of you know that about 18 months ago I was diagnosed with a tumor in my brain stem. I underwent surgery for biopsy, but because of it being in such a delicate area, the tumor was left in tack and the doctor decided to just keep an eye on it for the time being.
One of the ways of knowing if a tumor is cancerous is growth of that tumor.
Lately, I have been having issues with balancing, walking, headaches, and feeling nauseous. After having numerous testings done along with an MRI, it was found that the tumor has grown, which would indicate that the tumor is cancerous. Although it's not 100 percent for sure, the growth has been an issue in my day to day living. I haven't been able to work since January 7th, and my daily tasks are very limited.
During the time I've been out of work, I've been dealing with the benefits department about my short term disability. They have not been quick at all to pay me short term disability. They are telling me that if this is considered a pre-existing condition, that my claim may not be approved. But, I do know that God is in control and able to do all things. I have come to the point of needing financial assistance to help keep a roof over my head, and just the cost of living along with paying the specialist copayment every time I go to the neurosurgeon.
If you can help me in anyway, I will be so grateful for your kindness. I will be having a second surgery on February 29 and I ask for your prayers that this surgery will be successful. They will try to either remove a piece for biopsy, remove the tumor or at least, do something that will cause less pressure on the brain, which will relieve me of the discomforts that has disable me. Again I'd like to thank you all for your prayers and support during this time of my life.
Love you all and be blessed, Darlene
