Our Story
Last year I had a really bad fall that messed up my knee. I was going back and forth to the doctor's office. Then one day I received a phone from the doctor saying that I might have cancer and that he is setting up an appointment to speak to another doctor. On October 2nd, my daughter and i were waiting for our ride to take me to my appointment. As we sat there listening to what the doctor was saying, he informed me that I do have cancer but I need emergency back surgery. At that precise time I received a text message from my fiance's mother telling me that he has passed. So I had the surgery done and started chemotherapy. My doctor told me that if I hadn't come into the office when I did, I would have died. My liver and kidney were shutting down. So due to the fact that I was in the hospital for a month in a half I have fallen behind in my bills.

I never got the transplant on the 8 the of that month due to my heart. But on July 2nd I did finally got it done. It went good but after being home for 7 days I had to be readmitted into the hospital. I ended up staying for 7 more days. But since then I have learned how to stand again w/assistance. Everything I do at this time and moment is with the help from someone else.
Starting next week on the 8th I will be starting on the stem cell work up. I will be traveling back and forth to the doctors office getting ready for the transplant. I am consider a high risk for this transplant because my heart either pumps the blood to fast which gives me high blood pressure or to slow which gives me low blood pressure.
