Christine's Cancer Treatment Fund
In December, my sister, Christine, was diagnosed with a very rare ocular melanoma (different than skin cancer) and the great news is that her cancer is treatable! In late February she'll have radiation treatment with radiation 'seeds' implanted in her eye. Several days later the seeds will be removed and the expectation is that this treatment will be effective in shrinking the tumor.
While there are risks to her vision and potential for this type of cancer to metastasize down the road, we're thankful for a relatively quick, painless, and straight-forward cancer treatment!
This is where her friends and family come in! As a single parent with private health insurance and out-of-pocket treatment costs nearing $15,000, she'll need some help to off-set those expenses. Any donation, no matter how big or small, will benefit Christine's cancer treatment!
Latest Update
Hello Christine's friends and family! This week Christine had some scans done to determine whether the cancer had spread, and we're glad to report that so far, the tumor has remained isolated to her eye. This is good news! Her radiation seeds treatment will begin as scheduled on 2/27. A big thank you to those who have volunteered to prepare meals and visit with Christine during her treatment! Also, we had some technical difficulties with the plumfund site this past week and know that several people weren't easily able to donate. Everything has been fixed and the site is back up and running. And thanks to such generous donations received so far, we're nearly a third of the way toward the goal! To everyone who has reached out with kind words of encouragement, prayers, good wishes, and financial contributions, thank you. We all appreciate it so much!
