Taylor Family vs Cancer
Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
Jennifer Taylor, my beautiful wife & mother to our 3 amazing daughters has just recently been diagnosed with Stage 2 Colorectal Cancer.
For some time before her diagnosis, Jennifer had begun to feel drained, dizzy, and had low energy. It wasn't until Jen started experiencing extremely severe abdominal pain in February of this year, that the Doctor discovered Jen's hemoglobin was half of what it should be. The Doctor then ordered an emergency blood transfusion, followed by a colonoscopy.
During the colonoscopy, Jen's surgeon found a mass in her upper rectum, and a biopsy was performed. Our greatest fears were confirmed on March 19th, when Jen was told that she has Cancer.
Her bloodwork revealed as well that she had also developed microcytic anemia, to which she was immediately put on iron pills. Unfortunately, Jen reacted severely to the iron pills and ended up in the ER on multiple occasions. She was able to get alternate iron on a weekly basis through an iv instead.
Jennifer has just begun her Chemo/Radiation treatments - she has a great team behind her at the Cancer Clinic. She will be undergoing Chemo/Radiation 5 days a week, for 5 weeks, followed by surgery (which will require an ileostomy bag), and more chemotherapy.
Jennifer is handling Chemo/Radiation fairly well so far (she's on day 2), she is scared though, and frankly so am I, but we are going to get through this together.
Financially, this will be taking a toll on us considering that Jen was also let go from her job due to her illness. I've also had to pause work to be there for Jen, and help her with Doctor appts, Chemo/ Radiation, and also upkeep the household as Jen's immune system is weakened by this whole thing.
Any kind of donation that you can offer would be greatly appreciated, and we would all be forever grateful.
Please share this and let's all help Jennifer kick Cancer's ass!
Thank you all so much!
