Support Local Mom Battling Liver Cancer
Donation protected
Please help support a local mom and her family! Trudy Jenner 55 yrs old, and is a mom of 2 daughters Cassidy 17, Candace 15, and her husband Randy of 29yrs and counting. Trudy has done hairdressing for 22yrs, she briefly worked at "The Look" in Kingsville Ontario where she then moved her business and skills to doing hair at home. Randy worked at HEINZ in Leamington for over 20yrs when he was let go due to the transition of Highbury Canco, and didn't return. He continued to work doing side jobs, for friends and family, and is currently working at Highline Mushroom Farm as tolerated. He is trying to keep things afloat financially and mentally as Trudy is no longer doing hair.
Then life altering news hit them on February 23, 2018 when Trudy started with a very itchy body rash and started to feel very tired, when she got into the Doctors office to get checked out the doctor realized her white blood cell counts were extremely low and came to find out she had stage 2-3 Liver cancer.
Cancer> Cholangio Carcinoma
Tumor> Klatskin Tumor
Then the Doctor appointments begun between travelling to London University Hospital and home things were getting very stressful and tiring. Trudy had her first procedure August 15, 2018 up in London getting radiation beads inserted into her tumor called Radio Enbolism Y90. The beads seemed to have shrunk the tumor but an MRI conducted stated it didn't shrink enough to be able to do surgery safely. Then after waiting blood results and numerous tests Trudy started radiation + chemo pill to help progress a more faster approach of shrinking her tumour. After completing this procedure n thinking this was gonna work and be it.... more devastating news came as they couldn't proceed with an aggressive form of chemo because her white blood cell counts were still too low.
Trudy endures daily pain as the tumor grows n is in-between her gallbladder and spleen this is why her white blood cell counts are low because of her bile ducts sucked dry by her spleen. Doctors cannot proceed any further until her counts come up. Trudys stomach is soo distended and full of fluid. Trudy is currently taking DILAUDID and MORPHINE that she is lucky if it helps her with her abdomen pain maybe up to 2hrs of relief. Trudy can barely get out of bed without crying in pain, let alone do daily tasks. Trudy and her family are currently waiting for that phone call from her Doctor in London to say she's able to qualify for a liver transplant. Between help from her kids and husband who works full time were asking for the communities help family and friends to help ease
some of the financial stress that their going through and will continue to go through till she beats this cancer and receives the life saving liver transplant she's waiting for. Please pray n help her and her family out with any amount possible.
