Help Linda fight cancer
Donation protected
As some may know, one of my best friends, Linda Kelley, was recently diagnosed with cancer. It is a rare squamous cell carcinoma caused by a virus in base of tongue and in one lymphnode in neck. Beginning Monday, 11/28/2022 she will begin treatment. She will have radiation monday-friday for 30 minutes a day for 7 weeks and she will receive Chemo once every 3 weeks for 9 weeks(total of 3) for 7 hours each time. She had surgery to put a port in her chest for Chemo. She will be having a very stressful 9 weeks but she will have us cheering her on. I would like to help in anyway possible and Linda knows I am setting this up for her. This will be used as she sees fit for any out-of-pocket costs that maybe incurred as a result of this diagnosis. I know it is a difficult time for many with the holidays, but if you could donate and/or share and of course send the prayers and good thoughts! I will keep this updated as much as possible to keep everyone updated at how treatment goes. If you can't donate but can help in other ways, please message Linda, Heidi or myself and we will try to answer you as quick as we can. Heidi and I will be making Thanksgiving dinner for her on Thursday but please make sure before if you would like to feed Linda and Heidi as the treatment could make it a little more difficult to eat. Heidi will take her to her treatments and when Heidi needs a break then they will let me know. Visiting her may also need to be limited due to low immune system and a busy treatment schedule. We all appreciate anything you can do to make this process a little easier. We are really hopeful that this will be a smooth process, and Linda and all of us who love her truly appreciate anything you can do. I will do my best to update here and on Facebook after clearing anything that is going to be posted with Linda and Heidi.
Alternatively you can also donate to her Venmo, @Linda-Kelley-61, or it you prefer Zelle then it is [phone redacted] or you can talk to one of us if you need assistance.
