Jenner's Healing Hope for cancer
Donation protected
In July 2020, after months of feeling sick and numerous doctor visits, Jenner was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma. Cholangiocarcinoma is a very rare, very aggressive cancer of the bile ducts.
She started chemotherapy in early August, and thus...the journey began. They have been trying to do chemo on a weekly basis, and while her body and her strength have been keeping up beautifully, (we know she's a fighter!) her counts have been low almost every other week. Because of that she has only completed about 6 rounds of chemo and has anywhere from 6-20 more to go.
Her last MRI has shown that the chemo is working, as there are no new cancerous spots. Unfortunately, they did find a blockage in one of her bile tubes and left untreated, this could cause serious infection such as sepsis. She is scheduled for a surgery and to have a stent put in on Oct. 26th.
Due to Covid, Matt drives her to her appointments but is not allowed in the buildings; he waits in the parking lot until she is cleared for treatment and then goes home, waits and picks her back up when she is done.
It has been mentally and emotionally overwhelming (as expected) and has now become financially overwhelming. Trying to navigate between specialists, surgeries, treatments, oxygen, insurance companies, retirement and medications...on top of every day food, gas, heat expenses has become a big stressor.
We are asking for any donations to help pay these expenses so that they can focus on her healing and not have to worry so much about all the money factors.
I know this is a tough year for everyone, and the holidays are quickly approaching; if you are in a position to donate, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. If you are not, we STRONGLY believe in the power of prayer and positivity; and for that, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you.
Mom and Dad are going thru a lot right now, but their strength and love are far stronger than anything this life could throw at them...this we know. She is a warrior and we will all get thru this. If you would like to contact her, please do so on here or get in touch with me and I can let her know.
Thank you
