Dearest Friends and Family,
Let's come together and make magic happen for an amazing family! Our dear friends have helped so many others in need and now it is their turn to experience the generosity of others. Please help them as they battle a diagnosis that no parent ever wants to hear, a pediatric cancer diagnosis.
The McMorran Family needs some financial assistance to help pay for medical treatment for their daughter 6 year old daughter, Peyton.
Peyton was first diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor when she was 14 months old. After talking to the top hospitals around the country they decided to monitor it through regular MRI brain scans and see what happened. For the past 4 years everything was going wonderful and the tumor even began to shrink!! Here MRI’s were every 3 months, then 6 months and now this year was the first year gap since she was diagnosed between scans. They went in feeling very confident that it was going to be stable. Normally they are in and out with results within 3 hours. This time was different, after waiting for 8 hours Peytons Neuro-Oncologist came in with the results that her tumor had “grown significantly” and that it was time that she have it boipsyed to see what they were dealing with. Surgery was done 10 days later and they found out that she has ganglioglioma BRAF V600e mutation. As they discussed treatment plans with her oncologist and neurosurgeon they found out that surgery again is not an option due to the way that it is growing and the location is near her brainstem. Radiation at this point is not recommended because her brain is still maturing and it could do more harm than good and standard chemotherapy does not have the best results for children with the BRAF V600e mutation. Their doctor said that there is a new very promising targeted treatment that would include to oral chemotherapy medications daily for the next two years. They left feeling like they had a plan and HOPE.
They were giving this treatment plan on May 31st, 2019. Ever since then they have been battling with their insurance company to cover the cost of treatment and have been denied TWICE.
The McMorran family has decided enough is enough and are going to start paying for Peytons treatment themselves. The cost of the two medications is going cost a minimum of $10,000 a month. When you are battling for your child’s life none of that matters. They are doing everything they can to raise the money to travel to Boston Children’s Hospital, Dana Farber Cancer Institute and to help pay for treatment while they continue to battle insurance and hopefully get it through.
