Help me to get to Seattle
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Ashley Melanson and I am 30 years old. I was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma and a carcinoid tumour January of 2015. This news changed my life.
I went through 6 rounds of chemo, then had surgery for the tumour November 2nd 2016. The surgery didn’t go well. I ended up being put in an induced coma for 16 days. When I woke up after a month I needed to relearn how to talk, eat on my own and I needed to learn how to walk again. I thought that was one of the toughest moments of my life...but I was wrong.
August 15, 2017, I was re-diagnosed with “tranferred lymphoma” which means it spread to my organs (liver and lungs). So once again I went through 4 rounds of chemo and then they had offered me a auto stem cell transplant. Basically taking my own stem cells and having them try to fight the cancer.
Well, unfortunately that did NOT work. :(
On Monday April 16th 2018, I was told the most devastating news of my life.
The cancer is continually growing and the stem cell did not work and no form of chemo is affecting this disease. He said they give me 6 months to live. 6 months!!
After having my heart in my stomach, my oncologist informs me that the only way to get this disease under control is to go to the mayo clinic in Seattle, Washington. I have to be there for 3-4 months with a caregiver.
So please, if I can raise $10,000 to go to Seattle, they can possibly save my life that I want to continue to live.
Any donation is is so appreciated.
God bless ❤️
