Story
Hello amazing family and friends, As some of you may know, our family has been hit with some pretty difficult circumstances lately. Our mother Denise is one of the sweetest, most helpful, beings to currently walk this earth. She has limited mobility as a result of a major back surgery from her own ongoing battle with metastatic cancer. Right before Christmas, we very sadly found out that our grandfather(Denise's dad) has stomach cancer. On top of going to all of her own appointments for chemo and other cancer care treatment, she now takes grandpa to all of his appointments and is trying to help ensure that he eats nutrious, helpful meals to get strength during his chemo. Fast forward to today, as we recently quite shockingly learned that our father has pancreatic cancer. He had a port placed and will start chemotherapy on Wednesday March 12th. It will be 12 treatments, every other week for 24 weeks. He needs to sit for 5 hours in the hospital to administer one of the medications. He will then be sent home with it still attached and continously running for 2 more days.The doctors said treatment will get worse and more taxing as it goes on. His cancer is wrapped around major arteries, the only way surgery can happen is if they can shrink the mass. We want to help alleviate some of our mothers load while she navigates through all of this. We know they are all loved and cared about by many, so we decided to make this page to show the support, emotionally and physically, that they are so deserving of! ❤️ Thank you for the support and lifting our family in such a difficult time!🙏
