Lori Sprock Medical Fund

Cancer sucks. Life for real, past any words to explain how much, sucks.

Cancer touches all of us in one or another. And unfortunately, it has hit close to home again. But unlucky for cancer, it's picked the wrong girl.

Lori Sprock is sassy, strong, and one of a kind. She keeps most things to herself and you would never find her asking for help. So I am standing in this gap for her.

Even with insurance, co-pays, missed work... all the things that Lori will go through this next year will place a financial strain. Knowing what's coming and the out of pocket she must pay for just chemo is a tragedy in itself.

If you feel compelled, please consider supporting our girl.

First, pray! Pray for Lori, her kids, her family, her friends, her medical team, for every person she will connect with during this journey. Pray for miracles and stand firm in our faith and expectation for a full and total recovery in Jesus Name!

Follow Lori on her blog journey for specifics of her journey. A caring bride link will be provided onelce it's up.

And if able, please donate to her medical fund.

Here is a little bit about Lori's diagnosis in her words: shortened/edited

Here we are at the end of January 2023 and it’s been a rough start to the new year. After a month and a half full of tests, scans, 3 biopsies and multiple appointments, I have been diagnosed with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. The story of how I got here is long and convoluted but in short it started with a swollen armpit lymph node that showed by biopsy metastatic breast cancer. My medical team has since been working backwards essentially to find exactly where in the breast it originated from and that still has not been found ( normal mammograms every year and feel no lumps) so I have more tests upcoming to continue to look for the primary site as that will determine what surgery will be required but otherwise does not change the current treatment plan. So for now it’s HER2 metastatic breast cancer with an unknown primary which is considered Stage 3. The treatment for this is considered very effective with a highly favorable prognosis but it’s going to be a grueling road ahead. On Wednesday, I will have my port placed and chemotherapy will begin possibly the next day or early next week at the latest. I’m told to expect hair loss to begin within 7-14 days of starting so I’ll be sporting new hair pretty soon. After chemo, roughly in 5-6 months, I will have some sort of surgery depending on what these other tests reveal. I anticipate it will be a mastectomy and if I have my way, for reasons I’ll explain at a later time, possibly a double mastectomy. After surgery will be 45 days or so of radiation. Yes, you did the math correctly…that will put this going up to around the end of the year if all goes as expected.

I am tough, pretty darn strong and super stubborn. I am going through a storm but I won’t go down and I have no doubt that this storm will change me. There is a purpose for this that I can’t see yet but I will. Grayson recently told someone that his mama has cancer and he doesn’t know what’s going to happen so he’s just going to roll with it. So that’s what we are going to do: roll with it and live life as normally as possible; cancer is just an inconvenience. I’m here for it…let’s go do this!

Let's do this for her. Taking one worry away will allow her to focus one thr most important thing. Beating the mess out of cancer and being there for her beautiful kids.
