Hi, my name is Tia Sheppard. I’m trying to get Rhonda back home to be with her family after 10 years. She has terminal cancer and needs her family and friends now! I’m working on her a place here as we speak , but we still need funds to get her electric and deposits. She has so many friends if you could donate 5 dollars we would be so thankful! Please I’m begging share share share. I’ve attached her story. Original diagnosis stage 2B. Tumor was too big to operate so we did 8 rounds of chemo. That was supposed to have shrunk the tumor to operable size. Had a radical hysterectomy in Jan. 2018. Suddenly just a few months later started becoming incontinent and having pain upon urination. Was told it was probably just scar tissue. In late 2018 I was referred to a Urologist who found a new tumor growing up the backside of my bladder. A bigger tumor than the first one. Had been growing the whole time. Started immunotherapy called Keytruda. It didn't work so we went back on chemo. The tumor completely invaded the bladder and now I have nephrostomy tubes. One tube from each kidney that empties my urine into bags. During this time a tumor had mestastized into my hip bone as well. I then underwent 20 radiation treatments once a day Mon-Fri as well as chemo once every three weeks. I now have permanent damage to my hip from tumor erosion and radiation damage as well as radiation induced lymphedema. 
At this point any Cancer is inoperable and a month ago we found yet a new tumor again, beside my bladder and have started the chemo cocktail all over again. I am under pain management and at this point considered Stage 4 mestatic Cervical Cancer (incurable). I am in constant pain and now walk with assistance of a walker for short distances and a wheelchair for long distances. I can no longer swim or take baths due to the tubes in my kidneys. (Nephrostomy tubes) we are doing chemo not only to beat this new tumor but to try to buy more time with my family. I have 2 children ages 21 and 16. I will be married 23 years on April 13th,2022. I love my family and friends and need to be back in my hometown from Florida to be nearer to them. I am on Pallative care but Hospice is standing by to step in as soon as necessary. Please help me spend the time I have left with my family and friends where I belong. At home. Thank you so much. Much Love and light. Rhonda
