We have started this new Go Fund Me for Lisa Hogan in hopes of raising a minimum of 30k to cover the cost of 24/7 caregivers and/or short term nursing facility for a month,
Lisa has had 4 failed chemo treatments in the past 18 months and her body is breaking out in rashes, her left leg is 3x the size due to edema and celluitis. She has a zero immune system and is just waiting for her T-cells come back enough that they can take them out, harvest them and stem cell them back into her.
She will be put in the Hospital for a week, then need to stay in a hotel across the street for 2 weeks with a caregiver 24/7 and go to hospital every day to check blood levels and get needed blood transfusions. Then either home or short term facility for a monh. One of the terrible side effects that 86% of people get is neurotoxicity whereas you get temporary dementia for a week or two. The Car-T cell team will not allow her to have this treatment until she has the post caregivers lined up, Lisa lives alone, her friends and family work so are unable to take off a month to "babysit" her. This is her last chance at getting into remission and saving her life. She was ready to throw in the towel as the pain has been intense and tumors the size of nerf balls throughout body.
So if Lisa has helped you out, got you a drink, a wristband, made you laugh or put a smile on your face as she always does, please consider helping her out. She really needs us and is stressing out.
There is a fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, September 30th at Nola Bar - 3481 N Clark near Wrigley Field. If you cannot make it, consider making a donation on Go Fund Me and share with your friends if you could. Thank you!
