❤️ Anyone who has ever met Annette knows that she’s like an angel on earth! She has been there for anyone that needs anything... she’s so kind, so generous and always positive regardless of her own personal battles. You also know that she has endured more rough times than most...
Below is a short story of one of many battles she has faced over her lifetime;
My name is Annette Parrinello. I was diagnosed with a rare cervical cancer when I was 33 years old. I had chemo therapy and 2 types of radiation. Internal and external. I had the maximum number of internal radiation due to the fact they couldn’t remove any organs or the cancer would spread. Never knowing years later I would have so many problems. I had a foot of my colon taken out a few years back because scar tissue was causing me so many problems. I had a colostomy bag for months but was fortunate to have it reversed and not have the bag anymore. A year later I was having problems with my kidneys. I’m going on my 13 surgery soon. I had reconstructive surgery on my urethras due to the fact scar tissue had taken over and my kidneys weren’t functioning correctly. I had tubes coming out my back and bags attached to my legs for many months. The surgery itself was 8.5 hours long and I had many complications. Now my right kidney isn’t functioning properly because of some scar tissue that developed. I’ve had stents and tubes put in for the last 14 months. I have another upcoming surgery to hopefully open up the urethra with a replacement stent since I’ve had these stents in for 3 months and having so many problems. I’ve had kidney stones in the meantime which are so painful and I’m hoping for for one day this to all be over. I haven’t worked in 14 months. I was paying half of my insurance but my employer recently terminated me so I had to apply for Medicaid. Some doctors don’t accept it, but my surgeon said he would because of all that I’ve been through. I had a choice to do the reconstructive surgery again on the right kidney, or try the stent option again. Im mentally not able to go through that nightmare again so I’ve opted for the stents to be replaced. I am just so tired of being sick. Not feeling good. Having these surgeries and the pain that comes with it. I pray to God every night that I get a break. I hope my next surgery is the last.
Our goal is to raise some
money for Annette to help her through the next few months, while she tries to get what she rightfully deserves. She truly appreciates everyone’s constant love, support and generosity! Annette solely takes care of herself. She doesn’t complain, she just keeps pushing through... but this current situation is taking a toll on her. Let’s all come together and help our beautiful friend, so she can concentrate on getting the help she needs and focus on getting better, not worrying about her financial situation.
Thank You!
