Christina Grim Cancer Battle
Thank you for reading about this fundraiser for Christina Dalton-Grimm. I am her friend Ernie Warren and am starting this Go Fund Me to help Christina with Medical Expenses and Living Expenses since being diagnosed with metastatic cancer.
Christina just celebrated her 50th Birthday June 1st.
In May 2021, Christina underwent a double mastectomy in order to remove a cancerous tumor found in one breast. Other breast calcifications were detected in her non cancer breast which could have developed into more breast cancer. Cancer was also detected in one out of two lymph nodes biopsied during the initial double mastectomy.
At the beginning of this month, Christina lost her job of 3 years for Defenders Cleaning Services servicing the Proctor and Gamble Cape Girardeau Plant as their contract has ended.
On June 7, 2021 Christina went in for a full body scan MRI due the the lymph node testing positive. The results of this scan came back June 8, 2021. The cancer has metastasized pretty much well everywhere. Lesions were detected on her skull, both lungs showed small and large nodules. Lastly, there are now two masses detected on both kidneys - renal cell carcinoma. The results to see if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes have not came in yet or determined.
Since the diagnosis for the metastatic cancer, we are unsure yet of the next steps of treatment Christina will receive from St Francis Medical Center. Once she goes in for her next oncology appointment, I will provide updates.
All money less Go Fund Me expenses will be used to pay for any treatments not covered as Christina does not have Medical Insurance. Also, the money will be used for any living expenses including but not limited to Housing, Utilities, Vehicle Insurance, Food, and Medicine.
Christina is also a Auxiliary Member of the Cape Girardeau Eagles Auxiliary #3775. The address is 321 North Spring St, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701. They are holding a benefit event Saturday June 12th starting at 5pm CST. Food will be served including Fried Chicken and Fish with all the fixing and deserts. All proceeds from this benefit will assist with the same expenses as the Go Fund Me. Information is also available on the Cape Girardeau Auxiliary #3775 Facebook:

Christina is an avid cook, enjoys nature walks, gardening her own tomatoes, as well as growing flowers. She also loves her children and grandchildren. Any assistance is appreciated or please feel free to donate at the benefit in person if you are able.
