Please help Jacqueline win her battle with cancer!!
Our 13 year old daughter , Jacqueline has been complaining about wheezing and having a stuffy nose...nothing out of the ordinary for kids to have..they get colds all the time!! My wife , Julie thought she should get looked at because this has been going on for a couple weeks and we scheduled an appointment for Jacqueline to see an allergist to see if she was possibly experiencing asthma.. Jacqueline and her dad (Mark) went to the allergist appointment and they tested her to see if in fact she was allergic to anything...all the tests came back negative... The Dr then administered Jacqueline a breathing treatment to see if that would help improve her wheezing....it made no dofference so the Dr decided to have us go for a chest x ray. Jacqueline and her dad went down to have the x ray done and were told we needed to go back and see the Dr for the results...Ok, we thought not a big deal... We returned to the Dr office and were escorted to a room where we waited for the Dr to come in. Several minutes later the Dr opened the door and stood there staring at Jacqueline and her dad but not saying anything... Jacqueline and dad looked at eachother and were puzzled?? The Dr sat down across from Jacqueline and Mark and said....I am so sorry.... again... Jacqueline and dad were puzzled... The Dr then said Jacqueline has a very large mass in her chest and it looks like she has Lymphoma!! with that Jacqueline looked at her father and said "NO"!! and immediately began to cry!! Jacqueline looked at her dad and said "Daddy, I don't want to die"!! With that we were thrown into another world and were not only extremely scared but also very confused and upset.
Jacqueline and Mark left the allergist and immediately caller Julie at work and gave her the terrible news and asked her to please come home immediately...Julie came home and we started calling doctors and frienmds looking for some direction on what we should do as we were terrified for out little girl.. We eventually went to Lurie Children's hospital here in Chicago where Jacqueline has spent almost two weeks of testing and confirming her illness... she has stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma...Our world has been touned upside down as we knew it... Jacqueline will need to undergo intense chemotherapy (5 rounds) along with several rounds of radiation therapy....she will undergo severe changes to her life as will we during this battle... she will endure possible infertility... possible permanant heart damage...possible severe fevers / infections. Jacqueline will also endure hair loss which is devestating for a 13 year old beautiful young woman... She will go thru many psychological and physical challenges as will our entire family while Jacqueline battles this monster.
Jacqueline has requested her mom, Julie be with her at all times thru her battle and not ever leave her which necessitated Julie leaving her job to care for Jacqueline while she is being treated... the treatment will necessitate many hospital visits.. and other unforseen issues such as depression, anxiety and fear of the unknown as we battle this terrible desease...
Jacquline's dad, Mark is a Sergeant with the Chicago Police Department and has been a police officer for almost 23 years with the city of Chicago and will have to try to pick up the pieces as far as working and earning extra money so Julie can be home with Jacqueline...as this is her wish!!
Jacqueline is a twin and her sister Victoria is VERY close to her and has been affected by this entire ordeal in a very personal way ... this is her life partner...her twin and her soulmate as far as the bond they share as sisters. Victoria is being as supportive and extremely concerned for her sister and is always at her side...they do EVERYTHING together... They love and ride horses and would one day LOVE to have their very own horse!! They were riding three days a week and were looking forward to their second competition this year!!
Jacqueline also has a younger brother , Michael who plays hockey in Illinois he is 11 years old and plays for the Chicago Jets CSDHL hockey club.. His hockey team mates and parents have been extremely supportive of him as has the Jets organization... We sincerely appreciate everything they have offered to help Michael out during this difficult time.
All of our children attend Edgebrook Elelementary School on the N/W side of Chicago.. The school has been EXTREMELY supportive of our family and Jacqueline.I can not thank them enough as the administration and teachers have been overwhealmingly supportive of Jacqueline at a very important time in her education (7th grade) when students endure several important tests which help them qualify for entry into high school..something Jacqueline has been very stressed out about and has had several break downs fearing she will not qualify for entry into a good high school..
We as a family will be extremely appreciative for any assistance we would get for our daughter to assist in paying medical bills and help suppliment Julie's salary as she is no longer working and has the monumental task of now caring for Jacqueline every step of the way fighting this monster and winning!! Please help in any way you can and lets get Jacqueline healed and help her beat this cancer!! Thank you all for your help and outpouring of generousity... We love you all
