Jackie Armstrong

Jackie Armstrong, feeling unusually tired, went to the doctor and had blood tests taken. She received a call in the evening asking her to come to the hospital that same evening for further testing. That was August 20th, the beginning of a difficult and scary journey resulting in a diagnosis of AML, acute myloid leukemia. Jackie's diagnosis was identified as a very high risk type of AML. She spent over a month in Methodist Hospital going through chemotherapy and blood transfusions. She is now pursuing treatment through the U of M after receiving a second opinion from Mayo supporting the treatments recommended by the U of M. She is going into the 4th month of treatment with many more months of uncertainty and treatment. Medical costs even with insurance, along with time away from work, only add to the fears and uncertainty of going through a difficult illness. The most important thing at this time is ensuring Jackie receives the best care and doesn't have to worry about the cost. Anything you can do to help Jackie and Doug would be such a blessing and so appreciated. Thanks to everyone!
