A month ago Verna had a very hard time breathing and her chest was hurting so they took her by ambulance to the ER where they did a cat scan and it showed nothing abnormal, so they sent her home! She also was going to a chiropractor but as time went on the pain went from her chest to her lower back. On Monday night (June 19) she collapsed and Steve tried to help her up and she screamed in pain so the ambulance took her to the ER and by Tuesday morning they already gave us the most awful news no one wants to hear! It’s cancer
We’re all still in shock!
Long story short, and lots of testing, she has lesions on her spine and back, tumors on her ovaries, one in her stomach, and they think it all came from the 2 tumors in her right breast!
It’s stage 4 carcinoma.
Today they did surgery on her back! It’s vertoplasty where they go in her back and put cement in where her vertebrae is fractured from the cancer! We’re very hopeful that that will help her walk again since she’s been bedridden for over a week now!
I know Steve and Verna wouldn’t ask for help right now but with Steve being off of work, food, gas, and the many trips to Hershey for treatment it quickly adds up so if you feel led to help with any expenses we’d greatly appreciate it!
Other wise prayers and sharing this is also a huge help while we go through this!
Verna in her own words said “I’m ready to fight this” so we as a family will be beside her every step of the way fighting for her ♥️
