Help Pamela May fight cancer

Donation protected
I am helping to raise money for my Aunt Pam's rising medical costs due to her cancer diagnosis.

Pam May was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer in November 2019 by the surgical pathology consult services at John Hopkins. It is called SMARCB (INI-1) deficient sinonasal carcinoma, and while the doctors have stated there has been an upswing in this cancer's genetic makeup, the location of it is incredibly rare. The cancerous mass is currently pushing against her brain and right eye and is showing an aggressive clinical behavior. 

Pam is currently being seen at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida. The treatment plan determined by the Moffitt Head & Neck Tumor Board is to have 7 consecutive weeks of radiation, 5 days per week, plus chemo treatments 1 day per week to shrink the tumor before surgery to remove it. This is following 3 chemo treatments at another cancer center from December 2019 to January 2020. With this plan, she will need to take a short term disability leave from her job starting March 8th, as she will be staying away from home for the daily treatments and traveling home to rest on the weekends.

Any funds raised will go towards medical deductibles, medical expenses not covered by insurance, and travel expenses to meet with her doctors and for treatments. 

Pam is currently in good spirits and ready to beat this cancer - I don't want her having to worry about anything besides getting healthy.
