Fighting for Karen
Donation protected
In January 2023 Karen was diagnosed with a Gist Tumor that is cancerous. During the tests and scan they discovered she also had some spots on her lungs. This past week they told her she has Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis. This disease is terminal there is no cure only medications that slow the progress. She is down to 50% lung capacity and has been given 3-5 years. She has a hard fight on her hands to prolong this diagnosis as much as possible and to do this she will be taking a medication known to slow the progression and in some cases stop it temporarily. She has also been put on oxygen full time. All this on top of her cancer meds has really been hard on her mentally, physically, and financially. I (her daughter) have started this GoFundMe me to help her have some peace of mind in the coming months. Learning that you have a terminal illness is horrible but to have to also stress about how your going to pay for it is worse. We know that God has this and he is going to keep her here longer than the dr prediction. She needs more time with her grand babies and we need more time with her. Thank you for your help, support, and most of all your prayers.
