Our friend and independent media sister
, honoree for 2023, co-host of Beauty & The Boomer & host of Trailer Park Pundit, recently shared some news, and it's not good."I have small cell lung cancer. Aggressive. I underwent a biopsy on Thursday to confirm. The survival rate for this cancer is very low—only 7% make it five years, and most only have 2-4 months to live after finding out. Of course, the Western medicine doctors want to blast me with chemo and radiation.
All my holistic friends want me to go for stem cell treatment in Mexico and try other ways. But it’s all going to cost money, not to mention I’m too sick to work.
I had been taking care of my boyfriend’s mother for the last nine years; she took care of the bills for me, and I took care of her basic needs. But I had to put her in a memory care facility on August 5th after six months of her slipping into dementia (please see her GFM). She would wander and get lost.
Ten days after moving her out, I found out how sick I was on August 15th. I ended up in the ICU for a week, with massive doctor appointments to follow."
Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated. It's going to be expensive and rough.
