My friend is dying of cancer and I need your help. Things look pretty grim but she's still fighting and keeping her faith in God strong. I would like to show her that the whole world is supporting her and pulling for her. She is the best person in the whole world. Her family is struggling to make ends meet but I know that together we can remove one worry from her life.

I see a lot of request of donations to help fight cancer. I'm asking for a donation to help someone who has cancer who is still with us. She did not ask for this even though I know she needs it.

You can read what she's going through from her blog . We have been making videos on and off since 2012 and you can view them here.

As of today, she has already shaved her head 3 times in preparation for the chemo treatment.  The video above was the first time she shaved in 2012.

Here is a timeline of her battle with cancer:

April 2007 - First abdominal surgery : removal of a single large mass with intestinal resection (benign)

October 2011 - Second abdominal surgery : multiple tumors removed. The cancer is labeled as Leiomyosarcoma (cancerous) and spead to the abdomen

Jan 2012 to Feb 2012 - Gemzar and Taxotere stopped due to peripheral neuropathy (permanent) and anemia with iron-absorption issues resulting in IV iron infusion for 4 weeks.

May 2012 to June 2012 - Temodar stopped due to severe fatigue.

Oct 2013 to Jan 2014 - Doxorubicin, Ifosfamide with Mesna stopped due to increase in neuropathy.

August 2013 - Third surgery : multiple bowel resections to remove tumors and burn the ones they could not remove.

May 2015 - Dacarbazine stopped with GI bleed requiring multiple blood transfusions, fever and right abdomens like abscess with drain placed for 5 days.

June 2015 to Aug 2015 - Eribulin resulted in multiple admits to the hospital with neutropenia and fevers stopped due to increasing tumor size.  Notices round protrusions on her abdomen, most likely from cancer masses.

August 26, 2015 - Got news that nothing is working. Clinical trials have less than a 5% chance of working. No more chemo and no more surgery.
