Hi my name is Jeri, back in April of this year I wasn’t feeling well and had my grandson take me to the ER. I got devastating news that I had lung cancer, that also spread to my brain. My world changed over night and knew I had a fight ahead of me. Even though I had a stoke after I finished my chemotherapy, it seemed as if things were improving. I was able to enjoy my birthday with my family and receive amazing news that I was going to be a great grandmother! Things took a turn for the worst on 10/25/24, the cancer spread throughout my entire body and the cancer in my lungs tripled in size. My doctor gave options of doing another round of chemotherapy to give me a little bit longer to be with my family or only have weeks left (which would be in ICU). I choose more time. Unfortunately, this round of chemotherapy my body is not doing so well. I am now on hospice and going to do quality of life and enjoy what time I have left with my loved ones. I have left a financial burden on my family and now the burden of funeral arrangements after I go. My daughter who works long hours and comes home to care for me, is struggling to find time to make meals or grocery shop. My other daughter lives in Eastern Washington and travels long distances to spend time with me and help out.
