So uuugghhhmmmmmm…. BRAIN TUMOR IS BACK AGAIN!!!!

Uuuugh.  So bothered!   Welp…. Guess whos back… back again.   And I'm going to need help - mental, emotional, and financial. GoFundMe is a site I never wanted to need..... But I do now!!! And I have no choice but to swallow my pride and ask. good news... We are OK!! well, we gonna be!!!! Bad news? It's BRAIN SURGERY! AGAIN!!!! After 1.5 years stable, and successful GAMMA KNIFE RADIATION session earlier in Feb, (my hulk powers started to come thru) my tumor friend ( aka the Grinch) is intruding its way back in and we gotta catch him!! We have to go back to UCSF to have it done.  They have the better toys for getting in the nooks and crannies. The actual surgery is around 6 hours long. Post op will be a few days in the ICU and then hopefully we can hang out in Apple Valley for a few weeks before I start a weird long road of chemo and rads again in HI. Thankfully I have insurance! but there is no telling what is gonna happen since it's out of state. And I'll be out of work for a few months. This is where the ask comes in. And truthfully, this is really hard for me, which is why I know I need to do it. Every time I've given to a GoFundMe cause, It makes me smile to be able to help someone in need. I've heard it said that you can rob people of the opportunity of being a blessing if you refuse to ask for help. So I'm swallowing my pride and looking to my community of friends and family to help me in this journey because they know I would do the exact same thing for them. Your giving will go to all of the medical bills that will not be covered by insurance, travel expenses (flight and lodging) and will help provide for basic needs while in recovery. Any additional funds will be secured for future medical costs (and lashes, candy crush men, and Pokeballs. ;) ) I also ask for your prayers. I realize that my community includes people of faith in Jesus, spiritual people, agnostics, atheists, etc. I happen to believe in the healing power of The Backstreet Boys whether it is through "I Want it That Way" or through the hands of the surgeon. If you are one who prays, I would so appreciate you joining us in prayer throughout this process. If you are not a person who prays, I ask that you join me in “Telling me why…”  for - Successful Surgery (June 4th 2024) - ZERO Complications postop - Abnormally successful recovery - Sanity (not being able to work is going to prove difficult for me. FOMO) - Peace of mind for my mom and my husband and my sister and my auntie Gloria and the rest of my family and my friends and my coworkers and YOU!!! Cuz I know they are all worried about it.

I love you and we got this! XOXO~ Tiff!
