Help Liz Dunbar beat stage 4 pancreatic cancer!!!

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Matt Dunbar, and I am creating this go fund me for my sister Elizabeth Dunbar. In the last couple weeks, my sister and her kids have received saddening news of the worst kind. My sister Liz 47 years old, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer which has spread to her liver and throughout her body to her lymph nodes. It’s in a very advanced state as it was caught late. On Sept 30 she started her first round of chemotherapy down at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha to fight this disease. Pancreatic cancer is a very painful cancer and takes a lot of courage to fight. My sister has never been short of courage, throughout her two bouts with Guillen Barre Syndrome which totally paralyzed her twice to the point she had to relearn to walk and being born prematurely at 3.1 lbs. She fought through those medical setbacks and is attempting to fight through this cancer as well. She will have continued chemotherapy every 10 days down in Omaha while fighting this horrible disease. My sister is a single mother with a daughter Catherine who is 26 in the Air Force, a daughter Grace who is 21 and a senior at UNL and a son Isaiah who is 16 and living with her in Laurens Iowa.
This is what brings me to the point of starting a go fund me page for her to give her some peace of mind of the unknown. My sister is very sad and scared and is facing what seems to be an impossible challenge. She is attempting to fight for her life (again) and spend as much time with her family as she can get. She is going to need any kind of support she can get, both emotionally and financially. I feel that if anyone can beat this, she can, but she needs a little help and whatever you can do is appreciated. Past actions are the best predictor of future actions, and she has beat a few life-threatening illnesses in her 47 years. If anyone can beat this cancer my sister can.
Any funds generated by your kind donations will be used for her and her families gas money to and from Laurens Iowa to Omaha (3.5 hour drive) every 10 days for chemotherapy, occasional hotel rooms on nights, as she is sometimes required to be there days at a time, meals or snacks along the way and at the hospital, for her kids sitting with her during doctors appts and chemo treatments, gas for my nieces and nephew to be with their mom as much as they can during the next few months. And just generally trying to make her, as well as her kids feel a little more comfortable during this trying and scary time.
Any support would help her. Even a text or email or message on Facebook to say hi to her would mean so much. She is fighting the biggest fight of her life and one we all hope we never have to fight ourselves. Thank you for taking time to read this and anything you can do to help would be appreciated.
