No One Fights Alone

Donation protected
Often times, those who smile the most on outside, have the largest number of trials to face on the inside. To look at Terry on the outside, you see a strong, beautiful woman. You would never guess the hardships and debilitating health complications she had overcome in the past few years.
This loving wife, mother and grandmother, has had her right kidney removed (January 2014) due to Renal Cell Carcinoma. During the follow up scans from kidney cancer, a mass was discovered in her liver and subsequently, a needle biopsy tested positive for Liver Carcinoma. In November 2015 she had 60% of her liver removed and endured 5 long months of chemotherapy.
During her follow up scans from Kidney and Liver Carcinoma, another devastating diagnosis, an inoperable cancer in her lymph node, was given. Due to it's location, in front of her spine and between the aorta and vena cava, treatment of this cancer is extremely limited. Her only chance of survival was to undergo a procedure called Cyber Knife Radiation. The cost of Cyber Knife Radiation is astronomical, costing approximately $100,000. This procedure would not be covered by insurance due to previous liver cancer diagnosis.
Given Terry's recent lack of health, her chemotherapy treatments and previous surgeries, she has not been able to work a total of 8 months. Her out of pocket expenses have already amounted in the thousands. Terry and her family need financial support and assistance in fighting this (hopefully) last battle with cancer. She has fought the good fight hard and long to defeat liver and kidney cancer previously. Terry is ready to fight this latest battle with cancer now, but she needs your help.
Please join us in the fight so Terry can focus on beating cancer and not the financial strain on her family.
