Help Susan Atwood & Family as she battles Cancer
Donation protected
Hi everyone! We need your help in raising funds to help Susan during her fight against cancer.
On September 6th, 2023, Susan went in for a routine colonoscopy and they found a large mass and on September 8th she found out it was malignant. Also, during this time she was having hip pain for a few months and it had gotten worse in the past few weeks, so she had a MRI on September 7th and also on the 8th she found out that she had metastatic disease to her pelvic bones. On September 13th she went to the ER because she was jaundice only to find out more devastating news that she also has metastatic disease to her lungs and liver. They had to do a bilirubin stint and she was discharged from the hospital on that Sunday and started Chemotherapy treatment on Monday, September 18th. She has several appointments and chemotherapy treatments and scans during the upcoming weeks and is unable to work and on family medical leave as of now.
Please consider donating to support Susan and her family. We are hoping to ease the burden on the family by relieving some financial pressure so she can focus on getting better and the family can take care of her and support her.
Please know, all donations will go directly to Susan and Mark. We thank you in advance for your generosity, prayers, thoughts and kind words and continued support!!
