Michelle O'Brien

I am starting this fundraiser to help my Best friend Michelle O'Brien during this difficult time. Here is one of Michelle's post explaining what is going on...

"So the nerve block failed whatever I’ve been in pain 2 months. I am getting tons of messages asking what’s actually wrong with me & the shortest answer I can give is this…I had emergency surgeries 2 months ago for what we were told was a colon tear & the surgeon decided to also take my gallbladder, fix my hernia which required a abdominal ablation at the same time. I didn’t need those surgeries (that’s a whole other story) had complications leaks, surgery was done wrong just a mess. Tons of procedures later pancreatic cancer was questionable due to masses & other findings. Had biopsies & waited 3 long weeks for results. Met with two different doctors on the results & we were told cancer was not detected..What a relief…I still wasn’t getting better so something is still wrong but this is good news…weeelllllll I have one doctor left because I fired the others due to mistakes made & other reasons. He is an Interventional Radiologist & didn’t need to invest in me much but we bonded quick. He would tear apart any other doctor that so much as looked at me wrong. He is as invested in my recovery as we are. We were finally given an explanation of what is going on, why I’m not getting better etc….The biopsy did not show no cancer the results were inconclusive with suspicion of cancer or something serious. I have to repeat the biopsies on the 10th & then we go from there. It’s all so confusing & frustrating but we are ready to get answers whatever they may be, beat the $hit out of whatever it may be & get me back to life. I am sad, tired, confused & weak AF but I am also resilient & strong AF so I am ready for whatever life throws my way. I have an amazing little team with my family. I have the strongest mother in the world by my side. I’m pretty confident staff hides when she walks in the hospital. She will call every MF in the directory there until someone listens. My Dad (Mike) is our rock he keeps us in check & in reality which is difficult because we are extra AF. He’s also in the medical field so he knows probably more than most the doctors I’ve seen & isn’t afraid to grill them for answers. Dylan well he’s my whole heart. He fuels my fight. His love keeps me going. I know my big sister is with me & hasn’t left my side. So whatever it is cancer or something else let’s do this. I dare life to threaten taking me from my son. I will burn the world down before that happens. Sorry this was long but I can’t possibly respond to everyone & I never explained what’s going on so there it is. Thank you all for the love & prayers it may not seem like it but I do believe they are working. I know many of you are going thru it in life as well & I see you & I pray for you all ♥️ We got this guys "
