Help Jessica fight cervical cancer

Donation protected
This is Jessica, a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, and sister. In September of 2020, Jessica went to her OBGYN for a routine visit that turned into more than routine. During this visit, the doctor ended up taking scrapping samples to go for biopsy. On September 14th she was given life changing news, her biopsy  came back positive for cancer cells. Jessica was referred to a wonderful doctor, Dr. Johnny Hyde, who is located an hour away from home. On her second appointment with Dr. Hyde and the PET scan results returned, he diagnosed Jessica with stage 1 adenocarcinoma cervical cancer. At this point, Dr. Hyde recommended a radical hysterectomy and Jessica's surgery was scheduled for less then a week later on October 5th. Dr. Hyde was able to remove all the cancerous tissue and any lymphatic tissue that was close to the cancer as a precaution and it was also sent for biopsy. The biopsy returned negative. Dr. Hyde advised that he was confident that all of the cancerous tissue was removed but that in a majority of cases, there is a 20% chance of it returning. While in Saint Mary's Hospital recovering from her surgery, the nursing staff struggled with Jessica's pain management and spiked a fever. Due to this, what was supposed to be a three days hospital stay, turned into five days. Jessica was released from the hospital with a catheter. After being out of the hospital for two days, Jessica was advised to go to the her local ER by Dr. Hyde due to having a reoccurring fever and little catheter output. Upon receiving further tests and their results, Jessica was transported by Lifecare back to St. Mary's hospital and admitted. Jessica stayed in the hospital for another five days due to developing an internal infection from the radical hysterectomy. During this stay in the hospital, a PICC line was also placed due to Jessica's IV'S blowing. When Jessica was released from St. Mary's hospital, was released with the PICC line and received ten doses of IV antibiotics at home. 

Since Jessica's surgery in October, she has been in and out of the hospital with sever abdominal/pelvic pain and blood clots. During her latest ER visit, the ER doctor noticed a concerning mass after having a CT scan completed and advised Jessica to return to Dr. Hyde. After reviewing the CT scans and ordering another PET scan, Dr. Hyde confirmed that Jessica's cancer had returned and was now in her lymphatic tissue making it stage 3. 

At this time Jessica will be receiving 5-7 weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Due to the number of medical bills that Jessica is still receiving, losing her job from being hospitalized multiple times, and travel expenses, Jessica is struggling to stay on top of it all. Please help this wonderful, caring, loving woman and her family, anything would be a blessing and greatly appreciated.
