Help my mom Robbin Kizer beat cancer
Donation protected
Recently my mother, Robbin Kizer was diagnosed with cancer.
My mother has had nodules in her lungs that she would have checked every 6 months. In February her routine scans were normal, however this August her scans had shown a mass growth. She had a biopsy and PET scan the week of September 6th. On September 17th we received the PET scan results that the masses found on her collar bone and in her lungs were cancerous. We received biopsy results today and it is Stage 3 small cell lung cancer. This cancer is VERY aggressive. She will have an MRI next week and a port put in. The MRI will see if it’s in her brain. If it is, then it’s stage 4. She will begin chemo and radiation very shortly.
If you know my family, you know we lost my brother 12 years ago to cancer when he was 17. After his loss my mother ran a non profit foundation for children with cancer for 11 years. She raised money to help families afford treatments, gas cards, utility bills, mortgages and Christmas presents while their children were receiving treatment to allow them to stay afloat while missing work to be with their children.
My mother is currently on a fixed income with no room to afford anything extra. Every penny she receives goes to her survival. I am making this go fund me to help with expenses that will arise during her treatment.
Aside from traditional chemotherapy and radiation I would like my mother to see a well reviewed naturopath that works simultaneously with traditional treatment/oncologists to keep her immune system strong. He is based in Massachusetts and can do appointments via phone. Unfortunately he does not accept insurance and the first appointment costs $230. Additional appointments are $115 and anything prescribed could cost between $50.00-$1,000.00 a month. His website is www.lexingtonnaturalhealth.com if you would like to look in to it. I will also be looking in to RSO and CBD oils for her which are also pricey.
I know times are so hard for everyone right now, if you can not donate I completely understand. But if you can, anything will help.
Please help me try to get my mom the best treatment possible so she can continue having a long healthy life. Thank you.
