Jenny's Fight With Appendix Cancer Fundraiser
Donation protected
I have been fighting Stage IV Appendix Cancer since 2014. It is extremely rare, and estimated to be diagnosed in only 1,000 Americans each year.
I have been through hell and back with this disease, as it is highly resistant to all the treatments I have been through. This includes 3 highly invasive and traumatic open abdominal surgeries, chemo, immunotherapies, and a clinical trial.
It is worth noting that all the treatments I have received are targeted for rare cancers in general - there has never been a drug treatment specifically for Appendix Cancer before. Nothing has worked up to this point. The tumors keep growing back at an alarming rate. I am considered inoperable and am out of options.
There is a new, one-of-a-kind promising experimental treatment that is SPECIFICALLY and ONLY for my kind of cancer. The main setback is, it's in Australia and not available in the United States.
Dr. Morris and his team in New South Wales, Australia have pioneered this new procedure. By receiving this treatment, I can also help benefit world-wide Cancer Research. You can read about the trial here:

My tumors have started to affect my quality of life, and this trial may be the only option I have left.
We are starting this GoFundMe to finance a round trip ticket from the United States to Australia and to cover the mandatory hospital fees, as their healthcare system does not recognize our American insurance and requires money up front.

Any monetary donation will be greatly appreciated, small or large.
