Hello! My name is Nicole Murray!... I never thought I would be making a GoFundMe page.. Heck I never thought I would have Hodgkins Lymphoma or Epilepsy or a husband that has been to Afghanistan. But I suppose you never know what will happen...
I guess my story starts with me finding out, while my husband was deployed in Afghanistan, that I have Hodgkins Lymphoma. I was super surprised, I am an athlete and I work out, dont smoke, take care of myself. How would I have cancer?!! But I did, so all that there was to do, in my mind, was to deal with it, do the chemo, keep working, and beat this beast! So after 6 months of chemo, loosing my hair, but never giving up I was in remission!
Once in remission, I have been building my strength back up and only having a few memory issues here and there, but they said that was just chemo brain and it would get better with time... A year and a half passes and it only gets worse. I start having deja vu moments all of the time, forgetting that I have been places with family and friends. So I head to the doctor. She sends me to the neurologist, were I get a few hour eeg then a 72 hour EEG, which I had to wear for 3 days straight (and am still paying for)... This is when I found out that my "moments" of deja vu were little seizures, and I was then diagnoised with Left Frontal Lobe Epilepsy...
I have been on medication to medication trying to control the episodes, and nothing has worked like they say it should. So this brings me to the reason I am on GoFundMe. My neurologist wants to send me to the Henry Ford Epilepsy Center, were I will be video monitiored, and hooked up to EEG for 5-7 days, so they can pin-point where the episodes are happening in my brain and what may trigger them, in hopes of figuring out the best way to treat my condition, or if there is something that can be fixed/taken out with surgery.
Of course, this is not something that is covered by insurance, and it will be a very expensive stay, on top of all other medical and well non-medical bills we pay now this will not be possible. We have been trying to do this on our own and not ask for any assistance, but in order for life to work, we thought we would give this a try... If nothing, then ok, but if we receive help, of any kind or amount words CANNOT express how happy and thankful we will be! This would mean the world to my husband and I, in hopes to live normally, well as normal as possible, and hopefully one day have a family.
Thank you for your support and even taking the time to read my "story"! I tried to make it short and sweet, again thank you so much!
