Cassie Richmond Norris Kidney Removal and Recovery
Donation protected
My name is Cassie Richmond (Norris), and I was recently diagnosed with a Bosniak Class 4 tumor on my left kidney. The tumor measures 1.9cm and contains a solid mass which, based on imaging, contains renal cancer cells. Bosniak Class 4 tumors have 90-100% chance of being malignant. The good news is that we caught it in time and surgery should be the only treatment I need. But that also depends on what is discovered when the tumor is sent to pathology for testing.
As such I will need to undergo at least a partial kidney removal, but a total kidney removal is also possible depending upon what my surgeon deems best during the operation.
The good news is that we caught it in time and surgery should be the only treatment I need. However, the necessity for further cancer treatments depends on what is discovered when the tumor is sent to pathology for testing.
Unfortunately, I am currently unable to work due my pain, extreme fatigue, and inability to focus on more than one task at a time. My husband is working very hard to make up for the lost wages. But medical bills, living expenses, gas money (preoperative appointment and surgery will all be done at St. Vincent in Indianapolis), and my inability to work until after I heal (between 4 and 6 weeks) mean our finances are taking a huge hit.
So I have humbly created this GoFundMe calling upon my friends and family to help in any way possible.
I declare blessings over your life, and will be forever thankful to our Lord for blessing me with such loving friends and family. Your prayers are always appreciated, and I will update as soon as I can.
May God bless you!
***All donations will be used to cover medical and living expenses during my surgery and subsequent recovery.***
