Walking for my mom
2024 update: My mom is doing well. She started ok Keytruda last year and is responding well with it. Unfortunately just recently she had to stop it for a bit due to a massive infection on her jaw titanium plate. We are really hoping once we get the infection under control we can start treatment again. We are walking again this year. Please consider joining Carol's Crusader's.
2023 update: My mom beat her head and neck cancer. Only to learn at her next Petscan it had metastasized to her lungs. She is in stage 4 but is doing very well. The cancer is moving slowly and she is feeling great. The doctors recommended immunotherapy and she will be moving forward with that. We continue to hope and pray and wish and dream that a cure for cancer will be found. Carol's Crusaders will be walking again this year to support the cancer center that has helped her and so many others.
My mother was recently diagnosed with a rare cancer of the saliva gland. After enduring a 9 hour surgery to remove the mass and lymph nodes they were unable to remove all of it. She will now be going through radiation and chemotherapy to hopefully kill the rest! She has a long road ahead and LGH has been helpful and supportive through this process. My family and I will be walking to help raise money for this organization that has been helping my mother. Please donate or join us on the walk! Thank you!
Each and every dollar raised stays within the communities that we serve, helping our friends, family members and co-workers.
