Ruth's Final Expenses
Donation protected
In 2016 my Mom was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. The doctor removed her right kidney. After the kidney removal, were told the cancer was all gone and my Mom was okay. The Cancer was encapsulated within the kidney and by removing the kidney all the cancer was removed from her body. We now know that this wasn't the case. Eight months ago my Mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 Bladder cancer. The official diagnosis was Stage 4 Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma. By the time it was diagnosed in Stage 4 it was in the lymph nodes of her pelvic area, abdomen, chest and neck. We were informed by multiple doctors that this is a very aggressive form of cancer, and there must have been cancerous cells in her urinary tract lining. Her cancer has now progressed to her spine, ribs, and lungs. Survival for the cancer is between 2%-5% at five years. We now know we are not going to make it to the 5 year mark, we are not even going to make it to the one year mark. We are now faced with end of life decisions, and funeral plans. We have no life insurance on Mom. We have no savings left. We never imagined we would be in this situation. We are urgently asking for help to pay for the final bills and funeral expenses for my Mom. My Mom is the most incredible woman. She has been an amazing mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
