This is of my mom. My mom Jeri Ann, had neck surgery in Feb 2007 for disc degeneration. She recovered from that and was seeing a surgeon and had scheduled double knee replacement for the first of June 2007.
While doing a self breast exam in March she found an unusual lump...She was diagnosed with ductal & lobular cancer. On May 1st 2007 she had a double mastectomy.
She started her chemo in June, and everything went down hill from there. She became very ill from the chemo...not from the side effects of the chemo, which are horrible, but after several weeks and her having seizures and we almost lost her, we found out that she is not tolerant to the chemo. Her body was having reactions to the chemo itself, so the doctor tried a Taxol treatment and she seems to be doing quite well with that.
In the middle of September 2007 she found out that her insurance company, Secure Horizons, is dropping her, which means she will have no insurance coverage! She will be done with this regimin of chemo in Nov. the week before Thanksgiving.
Then is to start radiation the first of December, then of course five years of pill taking, Plus follow up appointments. My mom is worn out from this disease and needs something to give her hope, this money would be very helpful, so that she could continue her treatments. Without this money she would not be able to continue the treatments and therefore give up and die...
She has six daughters that have been giving and taking care of her for endless hours. We love our mom and the values she has instilled in us.
PLEASE HELP OUR MOM!!! Thank you for offering this opportunity.
