More Life More Love For Missy

Donation protected

Hi everyone,

I'm raising money for my sweet and loving sister, Missy

As some of you know already, my sister was diagnosed Breast Cancer in
December 2013.

She fought with it for the whole year, undergoing chemotherapy, in addition
to several types of alternative medicine. Unfortunately, the chemotherapy
wreaked havoc on her body. She was supposed to have eight rounds of chemo,
but her doctors agreed that after five rounds, it was time to stop. Her
organs were being over-taxed by the chemotherapy and were not recovering. It
became too dangerous to continue.

Despite the early disruption of her chemo treatments, her health began to
improve. We all thought that maybe she beat her breast cancer. Sadly, it
has returned.

In May 2015, Missy began suffering unbearable headaches. At first she
assumed it was a reaction to allergies. She was taking Sudafed and other
decongestants, but nothing was relieving the pressure. The headaches and the
pressure in her head became so severe that Missy began losing consciousness.
After passing out one afternoon, Missy called an ambulance and was taken to
the emergency room. This is when we found out that the headaches and
pressure were caused by massive brain swelling. We also learned her cancer
had returned.

Her breast cancer had metastasized to her brain, causing four very
aggressive brain lesions. We later found that the cancer had also spread to
her lungs, abdomen, spine, pelvis, and lymph nodes. As such, she is now
classified as having Stage Four terminal Breast Cancer (Stage Four means
that the cancer has metastasized in the body, and at this point, the cancer
is considered incurable and terminal). In addition to being incredibly
depressed and scared out of her mind, Missy is in a lot of pain. But because
she is so strong, you would never know it!

I've started this GoFundMe account because Missy needs our help. It is
literally a "life or death" situation. Not only do her friends and family
have to witness the heartache, but Missy has a beautiful 6 year old son
(CJ), who is watching his mama suffer in pain. Missy also has her older
sons, Charlie and Jason, and a stepdaughter (Caitlyn) that love her dearly
and are struggling to come to grips with this reality.

The reason for this GoFundMe account is because there is a specific
alternative approach that has proven to be successful in battling most types
of serious cancers. This approach is Missy's last hope, and we're all doing
everything we can to help her. Unfortunately, this approach is not covered
under medical insurance whatsoever, and the costs are very high.

So please, anything you can contribute - even $5 - can make a difference in
this amazing women's life! Thank you so much for anything you can provide.
And God Bless you all!


Thanks,
Lisa
