Judi Yarrington fight rare cancer
Donation protected
Hi, I’m Julia ( the left in picture) Judi Yarrington( the right side), my best friend, in the whole wide world, was diagnosed in late July with epithelioid angiosarcoma. This is a very rare form of cancer with a pretty scary prognosis.. in October. Judi had a quarter of her lung removed and we thought did remarkable.She has always been tough as nails! Shortly there after she found out that the cancer had already metastasized to the soft tissue surrounding her lungs. She then developed a G.I. bleed and a brain bleed. Within the past three weeks, she has been diagnosed with cancer now being metastasized to her brain. And just today we found out that the cancer has metastasized to her bones and soft tissue in her left arm. This has left her unable to work. Judi has her entire adult life worked as a caretaker for the disabled, elderly or sick. It is her passion secondarily she works as a noon aide at one of the local schools. She is unable to do this leaving very little money to help support her young son Mason age 8. Her fiancé Bruce does work however, his income does not cover the family expenses. In addition to Judi’s ongoing medical treatments. It is uncertain of what the future holds for her right now. It is very scary. However, there are options that she is evaluating and more information will be passed out later. There is a possibility of extending her life expectancy with chemotherapy and radiation, which in another cells has a cost associated with getting back-and-forth to doctors so on her behalf, because Judi herself Would never ask for something for herself. She has been the best friend to me for over 25 years and there is no way that I can imagine my life without her and her help. She has been a great friend to many other people always there to help when they need it. She has helped with multiple fundraisers for other people I donating her time and I am asking on her behalf today if you would find it in your heart to help us help Judi please I appreciate any help that you could offer and so will she once she’s done being embarrassed and can digest all the information we received today. Should you not feel comfortable donating cash to this fundraiser don’t it is a very secure site. Should you feel like you would like to donate gift cards, gas cards, or to provide assistance for providing Christmas for her son please let me know. I will provide any information I can to help with that. Additional fundraising will be discussed and thought about at a later time I think you all for taking the time to read this I sincerely appreciate your time and I’ll keep updated as we know more. I am asking today to please help Judi because she would be the first one to help any of you. Thank you.
