Emily's Cancer Treatment and Expenses

Emily Ryktarczyk was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in November of 2021. The cancer metastasized to her retina, brain, spine, pelvis, and eroded the bone and soft tissue in her upper right thigh requiring her to have a titanium rod inserted into her femur to prevent the bone from breaking. Emily's cancer is not curable but it is treatable with medications she will need for the rest of her life. Emily is a single mother of a 13 year old daughter named Emma and a 5 year old named Connor. During Emily's pregnancy with Connor her husband Tommy passed away, leaving her to take care of her children alone.

 

Emily is transitioning into starting an oral chemotherapy treatment, which with bone building medicines and physical therapy, will help her to live more independently.
