The JENNY Wod

Appendix cancer is extremely rare, and is diagnosed in less than 1,000 people in the entire United States each year.

Here's the short (and very condensed) version of Jenny's story:

Jenny has undergone multiple treatments for this stubborn type of cancer, including multiple surgeries, chemo, immunotherapies, and clinical trials. Unfortunately, none of these treatments have worked - until a clinical trial opened up in Australia specifically for Appendix Cancer/Pseudomyxoma Perotinei earlier this year! Thanks to generous previous donations, Jenny and her husband were given the chance of a lifetime and were able to participate in this very special clinical trial - and guess what - it worked!!! It actually worked. After just 3 weeks of treatment, her largest tumor was reduced by about half!! A miracle, indeed. Now she is waiting for this same trial to open here in the United States. It is scheduled to be opening in Baltimore, MD later this year, hopefully around late November. The same Australian doctor and nurse that created this trial will be using Jenny to not only show us Americans how to perform this treatment, but also to repeat treatment on her personally. This treatment is NOT curative, however, it can be conducted on her body repeatedly AND it will improve her quality of life and extend her life. Currently, her largest tumor is pressing into and has invaded into her bladder and her vaginal canal, and her other tumors are pressing and clamping down onto her colon. In layman's terms, if her colon gets cut off by these tumors, she will more than likely lose her battle with this disease. This new fundraiser is to not only show your support and hope for Jenny, but also to help fund her and her husband James to fly back and forth to Baltimore, MD and for hotel stays during treatment. Please consider helping them continue her fight by donating! Any and all forms of aid are very greatly appreciated.
