Help Claire Cover Expenses

Greetings, my beloved friends.

I don't mean to shock you, but I'm still shocked myself that I've been diagnosed with squamous cell neck/head cancer. I knew something was up by the end of the summer and shortly after our glorious CD release party for "VuVu for Frances" at Dizzy's, I was diagnosed.

I am fortunate to have been accepted for treatment at Sloan-Kettering Hospital. We began radiology and immunotherapy a few weeks ago. I have a team of amazing Drs and professionals and am doing everything possible to take care of myself and recalibrate. This has been completely consuming, so please take no offense that I didn't contact many of you in another way. Very few people knew until now.

Updates and probably other musings will be put up on a page at CaringBridge website. You can check there and leave notes for me, which I will check regularly. It's hard to answer the phone and harder to talk about it all day, so CaringBridge is the best way to contact me for now. This GoFundMe page will help offset some of my expenses.

Right now, my pain is being controlled, and as a result, I am functioning and feeling pretty well a lot of the time. Updates will appear on the CaringBridge website as we post them: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/clairedalyjazz

Much love to all of you.

Ain't life wild??
