This is my beautiful mother Aurelia Gallegos. She was diagnosed with colon cancer last July. She has gone thru surgery and had an illiostomy bag for almost a year. In August of this year her ct scan showed that the colon cancer was gone and she was able to have her bag removed. Almost immediately after her surgery she began to get extremely nauseated and felt extreme pain in her abdomen. We took her back to the emergency and we were told that fluid was building in her stomach. So they inserted a needle to drain the fluid. They drained 14lbs of fluid and we went home. She was still nauseated and she continued to have pain in her abdomen. I took her back to emergency and they had to put a tube to drain the fluid and had to leave it in. We needed to wait to see if the fluid would clear up enough to get another scan. Yesterday we had another ct scan and it showed that the cancer was now in her liver and that is why she has been in agonizing pain. We immediately started chemo the next day.  I am her daughter June and I have a seven year, four year and 19 month old child.  My sister Lisa has an 18 and 15 year old. I am asking help for finances towards gas, medicine and child care. I am unable to take her to her chemo appointments unless I bring my 19 month old which anyone with a young child knows how impossible that is. We spend an average of 6-7 hours including travel time. I know in my heart that she wont be here much longer and both me and my sister want and need to be with her every moment we can.  She alternates spending time at my house then my sisters so she can be near all of her grandchildren. My mom is in so much pain. Nothing seems to help her nausea and shes miserable but she wants to fight. Just one of her medications is $150 with insurance. We have so many negative things hitting us left and right so the stress level among us all is extremely high. All I want is to be able to spend as many of the days she has left with her without so much financial stress on both our families. We all live in a college town and know alot of people. Everyone who has ever met my mom has fallen in love with her. She is an amazing woman and mother. Everyone calls her mom as well Its a wonderful feeling knowing how loved she is by so many people. I am the oldest therfore I am her POA. At times I feel like im going to lose it  but seeing how much my mom has gone through and she continues to fight helps give me strength. Our father is in heaven and he died at the age of 63. My mom just turned 63 too and I cant lose her this year too. Please keep us in your prayers so that we all have the strength to fight this horrible disease. Thank you and God bless you all.
