Sarcoma treatments in the USA for rare cancer
Donation protected
Please help us raise funds to help my mother Karen Hoover get to Santa Monica USA as soon as possible for clinical trial drugs.
On April 1st 2019 Karen was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma cancer. This type
of cancer is extremely rare, aggressive and is not curable. It is so rare only 6 out of 1 million woman are diagnosed. That being said there is no cure or treatment plan. My mother was given a timeline of months left for life expectancy.
After much searching for answers and any help in the internet, Karen found Dr. Chawla with the Sarcoma Oncology clinic in Santa Monica. Dr. Chawla interviewed Karen and would like to have her visit his clinic as soon as possible to start trial drugs. These drugs are not a cure, but they are helping shrink the tumours and prolong life. We are hopeful that if these drugs can give her more time, a cure would be available to prolong her life indefinitely. There are Sarcoma specialists working on a cure right in Calgary. However they are 1-2 years away from testing with people.
So please help us give Karen more time with her loved ones and hopefully be given a chance to fight this horrible rare disease. Any medical procedures she will need are three times more expensive in the U.S.
A Goal if $50,000 is what we are hoping for. If there is any left over funds it will all be donated to the Sarcoma oncology clinic in Calgary to help find a cure.
