Community Support for Diane Darling

Over the past year, since the passing of her own mother, Dorothy, Diane’s health has been in decline. She has had trouble with her voice, breathlessness, fatigue, aches and most recently abdominal pain. Her primary care doctor has sent her to specialist after specialist, each of which has told her that she looks healthy and they don’t know what’s going on. Throughout this time we’ve been asking for a CAT scan of her abdomen. As she’s on Medicare, her docs have continually denied or delayed this request as they didn’t want to spend the money.

Over the past few weeks her symptoms have become more severe and we were able to finally get a CT scan scheduled. Yesterday the results from the scan came in and they are not good.

Diane has two large tumors on her liver. She also has a blood clot between her liver and her spleen and fluid around her lungs. One of the tumors is 11CM, which is big. Today she had an MRI and afterword the doctor discussed three possibilities. He said that there is no cirrhosis, no scarring. He says they need to do a biopsy during this coming week. He also stated there are two large masses in the liver. This could be cancer in the bile duct. This is unlikely to have metastasized from another location in the body.

Currently there’s no reason to keep her in the hospital as the resources she needs won’t be available until after this 3 day weekend. She’s home now and resting. Tomorrow (Sunday) she will be surrounded by healers and priestesses who who will be doing energy and plant medicine work over the next few days before she dives back into the Western Medicine system. We are hoping we can get her into UCSF rather than Memorial, which has a poor record with this kind of care. We are going to coordinate a group prayer/ritual for her this Sunday night. I’ll post information on how you can tune in and participate soon.

Diane is very low-income and lives very simply. I’m a creative entrepreneur and am currently self-employed. We don’t have a rainy day fund prepared for something like this. We are asking for anyone who has abundance in her community to please contribute to our little family so we can have the resources and time capacity to focus our attention on getting her healed. Please donate if you can.

I’ll keep everyone updated as things progress.

With love,

Zack Darling
