Desperate times call for desperate measures... We have never been a family to ask for help, but are humbly coming on bended knee to ask for any and all prayers and monetary support we can receive. Most of you are probably unaware of what has been going on this last year... In October 2024, we received news that Mom was diagnosed with Stage III triple-negative breast cancer, just a couple weeks before our baby was born. Thank God, all of her weeks of chemo, radiation, and surgical treatment have been successful. She still has several immunotherapy treatments once every three weeks, but is thriving all things considered. Both Mom and Dad had just recently retired and were in the midst of moving to be near us when all of this occurred. They were looking forward to finally being near their only child and their new grandbaby. But one more issue lurked in the shadows… In February 2024, Dad went to the ER for stroke-like symptoms to ultimately find out through multiple imaging appointments that he had Grade IV Glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer in existence. Since then, after multiple weeks of radiation, many months on chemo pills, a craniotomy, multiple issues with negative side effects of medications, sleepless nights for months on end, multiple hospital stays, a battle with MRSA, improvements, and then more several seizures, he has taken a turn for the worse over the last month. More recently, several behavioral episodes, likely to be related to either swelling or recurrence of the tumor, increasing weakness and decreased coordination of the left side of his body, very poor short-term memory, and irrational thinking have resulted in some very emotional nights for all family members involved. Pending an upcoming MRI anticipated to occur the week of 10/16/23, some difficult decisions may have to be made. In addition to the daily emotional stress and constant care my Dad requires, the burden that has been brought upon my Mom to handle all of the finances, the house, bills, and other burdens are getting to be too much to cope with all at the same time. Of course, everyone has their faults, but anyone who knows my parents knows how generously and selflessly they have given within their means their whole lives.
