Amanda Webb's Terminal Cancer Journey

UPDATE: Post-surgery, Amanda’s pain level has been on the rise. Her recent PET scan confirmed her cancer is very aggressive and has metastasized to multiple critical organs & lymph nodes throughout her body. Unfortunately, further surgery is not an option. We all know Amanda is tough as hell, and we hoped for better test results. Several doctors have made it clear that even a stubbornness as well practiced and finely tuned as Amanda’s can’t stop this cancer. The chemo the doctors can offer to try to extend her life is extremely toxic. She will get very, very sick. She will not be able to work. We all know that hard work is a source of pride for Amanda. She’s been on her own since she was 16 years old, busting ass every day. She also does a great deal on a daily basis to help others. The loss of that routine, the financial toll and the feeling of helplessness is incredibly difficult for her. Doctors are managing her pain as best possible with medications, some of which her health insurance frustratingly is not covering, so she’s managing that fight as well. Outside of praying for a miracle, and please do pray for her, trying to ease some of the financial burdens is the best we can do. I’m still in denial, so writing this is beyond surreal, but it’s all I can think to do. Please consider joining me in this effort to help her as much as possible during this extremely difficult time. Many, many thanks, from the bottom of my heart. - Amanda’s brother, Micheal.
