Jolene Breast cancer & Li-Fraumeni diagnosis

Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I feel like everyone deserves a quick update about what's going on with me and my family.
The 28th of January (next week) I will undergo another big surgery at St. Charles Hospital. It's the next stage for my breast cancer treatment plan. The surgery is scheduled to be 7 hours long with a hope for an overnight stay. (Fingers crossed it happens this time as post double mastectomy the hospital discharged me 12 hrs post op & that was horrific!)
I'm going to have another setback for about eight weeks to recover from the surgery.
After that I am going to go to LA to see a Li-Fraumeni specialist at City of Hope.
Once that specialist has made some decisions I'll have to go to undergo at least one more surgery for a hysterectomy.
In the middle of all of that I have to complete the genetic testing for both of my boys and take them up to OHSU Dornbecher hospital for follow ups.
As some of you can imagine this it's not going to be an easy or fun process.
Financial burdens weigh heavy once again for my family. So here we are again, asking for ANY help to cover these expenses: Max out of pocket, travel to City of Hope, normal life bills while I'm not working & Michael takes time off work. Anything you can donate will go straight to these expenses.
We also have a mealtrain set up if you are more interested in helping cover a meal while I'm unable to cook.

Our biggest gratitude goes out to everyone that has already helped and donated to my family & I.
We love our tribe BIG!!!

Love the whole Hardwick klan!

Jolene


This was the original update back 9/2021 from Joel at Deschutes County Sheriffs Office:

Hi Everyone,
Jolene has been diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and through surveillance they found breast cancer. She will have lots of surveillance ahead of her with countless visits at OHSU.
Jolene will have a double mastectomy on Friday 24th, she will need a full hysterectomy and reconstruction surgery once her body heals.

Michael, her husband and Jolene have their hands full with two young boys 4 and 10 months.

Please be praying for Jolene and the whole family. If you are able to support them financially, please do so. They will have countless bills and a long road ahead of them.

Thank you, DCSO
