Hello, my name is Nikkita and I am fundraising for my mom and any other person that may be going through this same struggle. My mom is one of the strongest most loving people in the world. She will take care of and help anyone. She has never asked anyone for anything and has always worked two jobs and made anything possible that was needed. I am trying to do the fundraiser so that she has money to survive and get more answers. She has to go through chemo and radiation as of right now and has more doctor appointments. This will be a long hard journey and we will need all the help to make it please. My mom has never had any medical problems until maybe a month ago. She left work one night complaining of body pain and soreness in her leg. She woke up the next day and couldn’t lift her foot, so she started elevating it and icing her leg and foot. The next day it still wasn’t any better so she started searching for clinics she could afford because she didn’t have insurance. By the next day she had found a clinic to set appointment with a doctor. The clinic started taking all kinds of blood and X-rays n test to figure it out. After a week went by and she had gotten no better the doctor told her that her vitamin d levels were low and she may have drop foot. The office sent her for more blood work again and later that day her arm became heavy and she didn’t feel right. So we rushed to the emergency department and told them how she was feeling and they started asking all kinds of questions and was shocked this was happening from where she had never had any medical problems before. After mri’s and X-rays and blood work and scans, the PA Rachel came in and told us she had found four mass between my mom’s abdominal area and brain. She said that if it was her mom she would want her to get to a hospital ASAP that had the right surgeons to help. So we got sent to carillon Roanoke memorial hospital. There they ran test and said they had found 6 lesions and that the 1 on her brain was soo big that it was causing the brain to swell and that’s why mom was loosing her right side function, The neurologist said her only option if she wanted her body function back was to do surgery remove the mass and regain mobility on that side of the body to avoid paralysis. So we prayed and prayed and talked about it and she was so strong and got the surgery and came through it soo good. Now we were waiting on the biopsy of the brain mass and they also took a biopsy of the stomach mass results to come back. The oncologist came in and told us it was too much dead tissue so they couldn’t tell us exactly what it was but that he felt it was a stage 4 lung cancer fast moving malignant and terminal, and that he couldn’t do anything else for mom because it wasn’t curable. Now we would really like any help at all to get more answer because we are not giving up. She is a mom of 3 biologically and so many more and grandmother of 7 ages 3 to 15. She has sooo much more life to live and soo many who need her. Please anything helps, especially prayer please share and pray. Thank you and God bless you
