Help Tiona Tackle Cancer

This campaign is for my sister, Tiona.  She has been recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which is a devastating diagnosis for me to hear (I'm not even the one going through it).

In order for you to get a true sense of what this oncology nurse is going through I'm going to copy and paste her latest Facebook update. 

"Took me two weeks to tell my family... but this Oncology Nurse has officially become a Patient. my last GYN surgery 3/18/19 resulted in the diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer. I was unable to get a full Hysterectomy as planned, because the mass extended into my colon, and could not be separated from my uterus at that time.

On Saturday, 3/30/19 I began neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, to help shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove. {Omg I’ve been soooo sick }

On Tuesday, 4/9/19 I will be undergoing GI surgery to assess the part of the mass extending into the colon, in order to plan the best way to remove the mass.

I’ll be 27 years old, 4/6/19, three days before my next surgery. It’d be an awesome birthday gift to wake up and find that the doctors have it all figured out! Prayers needed; Support welcomed.

Side Note: my medicine is $3,000 a month!!!!! I cant see me being able to manage that. So hopefully they’ll be able to remove the rest surgically or else I’m screwed ‍♀️"

For those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting her, I'm glad. For those of you who don't know her, she is one of the most open-minded, hardworking, kind, lovable, bubbly,  strong, fun, caring and supportive women that I know. 

We both know that Tiona can and will tackle this ovarian cancer. She just needs the support, positive thoughts, prayers and funds for her to be able to afford all of the treatment suggestions to get her through this. 

The $6000 is for two months worth of the medication. We will update all donors on this gofundme! So please check back periodically for more information. We greatly appreciate all of the support!
