Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Donation protected
My friend Lupa has Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Stage 4.  She is only 33 years old.  She has a 2 year old son with special needs.  Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer (ATC) is a very very aggressive cancer that is resistant to standard cancer treatments.  Her symptoms started in January 2018. She noticed a few lumps on her neck that felt tender to the touch, and had an earache in her right ear.  Her voice was notably hoarse.  A cat scan confirmed that she had masses in her neck.  She was told that it was likely papillary and 99% curable.  On March 15th she was scheduled to have her thyroid gland removed.  During this operation, the doctor saw that the cancer had metastasized and he wasn't able to get it all.  That's when she was diagnosed with ATC and told that she only has weeks to live.  Last week she had another operation.  It was 9 hours long.  The doctors removed the rest of her thyroid and her trachea and infected lymph nodes.  She is recovering at the hospital, waiting to get the test results to see how successful this second surgery was to remove the cancer. She is such a brave woman. I pray for her everyday. The hospital bills are piling up and her insurance is not great, so, she needs our help.  She would never ask for it.  I am starting this gofundme page to help raise money to help her get through this incredibly horrific time.  With your support, she may be able to live to raise her son.  Please Help.
