STEFANI SHORTES' CANCER TREATMENT
Donation protected
PLEASE BE SURE AND CLICK ON THE UPDATE LINKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.
My name is PJ Jones and Stefani Shortes is one of my closest friends. A long time coach at Frenship High School and an active member in Texas Girls Coaches Association and Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, Stefani was diagnosed, in August of 2016, with breast cancer, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. After a biopsy, it was determined that the tumor needed to be removed, which it was on October 12. Since then, the doctors have determine that the margins of the tumor are not "clean" enough, which means they will need to go back in and take a larger area. They are also doing some testing to see if she carries the "cancer gene". Those results will not be in for a few weeks.
The medical bills are very high. Some of the treatments, that she is doing, are not covered by insurance. Plus, like I and many others, she has a high deductible on her insurance ($6,000) so that is out of pocket, from the start. She is continuing treatments with Veritas, which are not covered and those are expensive.
All of us know how generous, caring, and giving Stef is. Now it is our turn to help her. Stefani has coached at Frenship High School since 1997. She is still actively teaching English and coaching track. She needs our help. If you can, please donate. If you can't, please share. And above all, please pray. You have my thanks and the thanks of the many, many students, friends, and family that love Stefani.
