Nicole Shaw for medical
Donation protected
Hi My name is Kim McCurdy (Shaw) My sister Nicole Shaw, who lives in Fredericton, started having severe dizziness. To the point she could not drive, or walk , let alone work. She has figured out that she has severe infection and a tumor behind her ear. She has a picc line in and has to have antibiotics every eight hours. She saw the surgeon to remove a mass behind her ear/head. The surgeons in New Brunswick can not do the surgery, so she is waiting to see a surgeon in Halifax, NS. She has been off work since the end of August. She is not able to return to work any time soon. She has to have the surgery - which will remove the tumor and all the inside of her ear. So she will lose all hearing in this ear. Hopefully in the future they might be able to put in a cochlear implant. But not right away. There is a risk of course doing first surgery that the infection could spread to the brain. They only will know more once they are in surgery. Nicole has been a single mom most of her life. She has 3 children. Her youngest just turned 14. She has no one to help her, so please help us help her until this nightmare is over.
Thanks in advance.
