Let's Fight The Big C With Karla
Donation protected
We would like to seek your financial help for our very good friend Karla Tolentino-Morada who's been battling with breast cancer for a year now.
On Dec 7, 2016 she had her first breast ultrasound but found the tumor as benign. Another breast ultrasound was made on May 28, 2017 and the result again of the tumor was benign. But on June 5, 2017 they needed to do a biopsy of the tumor on her right breast and was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.
She quickly underwent a radical mastectomy procedure on July 2 to July 6, 2017. Had her first cycle of chemotherapy on Aug 17, 2017 and 3 more cycles til Oct 20, 2017. After that, was a series of radiation treatment for 33 days, from Dec 11, 2017 to Feb 23, 2018.
When she thought everything is done and cancer is gone, She was advised by her doctor a few months ago to do some more tests and found out that there are metastasis tumors on her left breast and lungs. Because of this, she needs to undergo a PET CT Scan which is very expensive in our country. There are only 2 private hospitals that have this equipment. The PET CT Scan costs roughly $1,600 plus medications and hospitalization.
Karla's officemates did a run for a cause to help raise funds for her medications but it is not enough. We need your help.
Karla is a good friend of ours, she is a single mom with no child support. We are knocking at your good heart and seeking financial help. Please help us help Karla fight this battle. Her 9 year old son needs her.
