Saving Amanda From Lymphoma
Donation protected
This is my sister, Amanda. She is a beautiful 26 year old, single mother to a gorgeous 3 year old baby girl named Aviiannah. She has always worked a minimum of 2 jobs in order to give her daughter the life she needs.
About 3 months ago, she had a persistent cough after having a cold and could not understand why her skin was so itchy. She began having difficulty breathing and the itchiness had not improved. When she went to get checked, they told her she had Asthma and Eczema. She was prescribed an inhaler and thought that was that.
About a month ago she injured her arm on a machine at work and the pain of the injury kept persisting. She got checked place after place and no one could tell her what was wrong with her arm. She didn't hit a nerve and there was no logical explanation as to why her pain was not better. She finally went to one place and they did an x-ray and thought that they saw something near her heart and said that her aortic arch was prominent and that it was usually due to an aneurysm. They sent her to the ER to get a chest x-ray. When they got the chest x-ray back they found something none of us were ready for, a tumor in her lung. They estimated the tumor to be 9cmX7cm after getting a CatScan. The next day my dad and Amanda went to see an oncologist but ended up at the ER due to her having severe chest pains all night and day and from having difficulty breathing. After being admitted and having another x-ray, the doctor informed us that her tumor was in between both lungs and that due to her symptoms of itchy skin, chest pain, coughing, weight loss and the tumor and its location, they were leaning towards some form of Lymphoma. They performed several biopsies non-invasive and invasive in order to get enough sufficient samples for testing. Finally after a successful biopsy of tissues we received her results and she was officially diagnosed with B-Cell Lymphoma.
None of us were ready to hear this but we are ready for a fight. Amanda has already lost so much work from this and due to it being so sudden there was no time to prepare. Please, help us raise money for my sister so she can afford these medical bills that she is about to receive. She deserves everything in the world and the one thing she needs right now is support and security for her and her daughter. Amanda has always put herself second and taken care of everything and everyone and for the first time, she needs to focus on her and take a helping hand. Please, anything helps.
I love you, Mel. We're gonna beat this sucker.
