Emilee Shearer

Hi, my name is Julie Vue and along with many family members and friends, I am raising funds for our superhero, Emilee Shearer.

For those of you who don’t know, on February 12, 2023 Emilee had a seizure. The first seizure came just before noon. It was a big one as it was accompanied by a large knot above the eye which would become a beautiful black and blue eye. Her boyfriend Patrick was the hero that day. She was rushed to Regions Hospital where she experienced two smaller seizures before being taken for an x-ray and CT scan.

On March 24th, Emilee underwent a seven hour surgery, completely awake. Dr. Burns was able to remove 95% of the tumor.

The Neuro-Oncologist confirmed that Emilee is battling a grade 3 IDH mutant Oligodendroglioma. It is cancer. Her Neuro-Oncologist at Mayo, Dr Sener, offered a few options for treatment, however he leans towards one in particular. His choice is one that entails 6 weeks of radiation; everyday, five days a week for six weeks. This will be followed by six sessions of chemo that are each 6 weeks long. He did say that he has never seen anyone finish the chemo in 36 weeks and to plan more on 48 weeks. The chemo tends to get very challening for most people by the fourth session. There are many things to consider; what treatment to decide on and where to receive the treatments; those decisions will need to be made in the next couple of weeks. While we are heartbroken, Emilee is holding strong. She is ready to start the battle and to get through all this so that she can move forward. Please keep her in your prayers over the next year.
