PATTY MCGARRY FIGHT AGAINST CANCER

Donation protected
Our sister Patty has been diagnosed with very rare  stage 3 Pleomorphic Sarcoma Cancer.  Sarcoma accounts for only 1% of all cancers.

Patty has a high-grade Stage 3 Sarcoma.

Sarcoma is a soft tissue tumor that has developed in her thigh and is pressing on her Femoral Artery.

The tumor cells circulating in her body are stage 3.

If not treated the cancer can develop in the lungs and that is Stage 4.  At that point there is only a 2% survival rate.

At this time Patty is doing radiation.  She goes to radiation 5 days
a week for 5 weeks to shrink the tumor.  When completed Patty
will have surgery to remove the tumor.  After surgery she may have
 to follow up with more radiation post-surgery.

 
Since Pleomorphic Sarcoma is so rare there is no proven treatment.

Patty has decided to do Immunotherapy.  Right now, the best

place for these alternative treatments is Mexico.  Cancer clinics in Mexico have had proven success rates with Pleomorphic Sarcoma. 

Immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that boosts the body's natural defenses to fight cancer. It uses substances made by the body or in a laboratory to improve or restore immune system function. Immunotherapy may work by: Stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells.
