Please help Sherri with her battle against cancer
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mike, and I'm fundraising for my girlfriend, Sherri Fox. She is fighting a rapidly growing cancer. Sherri is an extraordinary woman with a big heart, always willing to help someone in need. Unfortunately, now she needs help.
In August of 2020, Sherri was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.
In October of 2020, she had surgery at Moffitt to remove two large tumors and four lymph nodes. She underwent four very aggressive chemotherapy sessions at Moffitt and then eight weeks of the highest dosage of double radiation ending in May of 2021. She was under the assumption she was cancer-free.
On April 20, 2022, I rushed her to the emergency room because of severe upper abdominal pain and chest pain; after several hours and multiple tests, we were informed that her liver was riddled with tumors. She was admitted to the hospital for further testing and a biopsy on her liver. A couple of days later, our biggest nightmare came true. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, which spread to her liver, which is now riddled with tumors and can not be operated on. So back to Moffitt cancer center for more tests and scans to only find out it is not curable, only treatable with medication to "hopefully" slow the growth of the tumors, which have doubled the size of her liver and are causing severe pain.
Discouraged by the news, her sister insisted on taking her to MD Anderson in Texas for a second opinion. After reviewing all of her test results from Moffitt and performing quite a few of their own, their results were worse than expected. The tumors on her liver have grown considerably since her last scan only four weeks prior.
Unfortunately, I have missed quite a bit of work running her back and forth to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, almost two hours from our home. The numerous nights spent in a hotel for those early morning treatments and all-day tests when she was too sick to make the drive by herself. I also had to miss a lot of work to be home and care for her after her chemotherapy days and radiation treatments when she was too sick to move. Because of all of this, which I do not regret, we have gone through all of our savings to keep up with the bills, but the bills keep coming, and the treatments aren't stopping.
Please help if you can, but if you can't, pray for her and maybe pass this along. We need to try and save her life.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
