Help for Mom/Grandma w/cancer
My mother in law Yevette Arszman needs help. She is 48 years young and is an awesome woman. She would do almost anything for anyone. She loves to laugh and do things for others for nothing more than to see them smile. 3 yrs ago she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. An incurable bone cancer. She has taken the last 3 yrs and spent time playing with her grandkids, going on hikes, going to the beach, outdoor concerts and just doing some simple things she hasn't ever done. She even learned how to dig razor clams and caught her first fish! Not major accomplishments but experiences that have brought her closer to nature and the ones she loves.
Now the cancer has progressed and she is starting a new part of her journey "treatment". Trying to get a few more years to enjoy her grandchildren and just live life. She has been lucky enough to have medical insurance that has covered most of the treatments. But now that she is getting ready to go in for a stem cell transplant in October, part of the requirements before it begins is that she has a care giver during her recovery period. She will need 24/7 care for at least the first 3-4 weeks. Then depending on her progress partial care after that. This is the part the insurance won't cover. She doesn't have much family here in Oregon. And the ones she has have to work and can't be there all that time. I would do it but unfortunately she won't be allowed around kids or animals and I have both. This is a very critical time as her stem cells will be regrowing and her immunity levels will be near zero. If she can't get a care giver then she can't do the stem cell transplant and she needs to start this coming October in order for it to be worth the effort. As the cancer fills her bone marrow there reaches a point of no help. Please, consider giving... anything you can will help her. Thank u in advance for any type of help. Even if it's just for sharing and praying.
Thank you for taking the time to read the story. God bless you all.
