Folks, the time has come again to support our Judy in her battle with Cancer. Unfortunately the treatment recommended by her Oncologist isn't covered by our healthcare and she needs our help now. Funds can also be e-transfered directly to Judy. Please message Marc or Amber for the e-transfer email.
Below is an update from Judy that goes into more details.
Let's do this friends!
From Judy -
Alright friends, here’s the heavy.
A lot has been happening in the past 6 weeks and come tomorrow, there is action.
As I’ve posted before I have two types of breast cancer, hormone+ as well as triple neg. Through all of my treatments the hormone+ BC have reacted positively to all of the systemic treatments. Unfortunately, the triple neg has been the very opposite. This is my fungating tumour. It’s an aggressive beast that isn’t reacting positively to the treatments, in fact it only stabilizes the tumour for a few weeks then more growth. Because of this, I am really going through all of the medicines. Protocol is that once a treatment stops working, even for one tumour, you must stop that treatment and move to another. At this rate, it won’t be long before there is nothing left for me. So… the plan is that tomorrow I will be admitted to UBC hospital to have this mother fucking asshole tumour removed! The hope is with it gone the systemic treatments will keep working and have much more longevity.
I’m actually stoked. It will be a full mastectomy and lymph node removal in my armpit. I will have a vacuum dressing for 6 weeks or so and then a skin graft to close it up. Feeling positive and appreciate all of the good energy you might be able to push out towards me❤️
Sadly, there’s another layer to this. Through my genetic testing it brought forward a drug that shows to have an incredible success rate with my types of cancer. It’s available in Canada but it’s not covered
This treatment is about $5000/month. It breaks me to ask but this go fund me is to help raise funds for this. I’m truly fighting for my life right now and I’m humbly asking for help to pay for this treatment. Again, thank you doesn’t seem like enough. Please know that I love you all and wouldn’t be upright if it weren’t for all of your love back.
Hug. Tell folks how much you love them, often. Make it weird.
Skate for me! I hear the new reno at China Creek is dreamy❤️
