About this fundraiser

My name is Stacie. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2022, after being sick for 16 months. My mother passed 8 months prior to my diagnosis. I did 6 rounds of Folfirinox chemo, had the Whipple Surgery, then did 6 more rounds of Folfirinox. 11 months later, i had a recurrence in my surgical bed. In January of 2024vi started gem/abrax chemo which i finished in July. The chemo was only keeping the tumor stable, no growth and sadly no shrinkage. In August I did 5 factions of srbt radiation. I was told later that my cancer is very aggressive and already developed a resistance to chemo. Anyway i have researched and believe my biggest shot at beating this is nano knife surgery. My insurance wont cover it because it is only available outside my state of residence. I live in Missouri. The nano knife is available in Florida by Dr. Robert Donaway. The surgery, the hospital stay, and the travel expenses are around $30,000 which is way beyond my reach…we live paycheck to paycheck. I am asking you to please donate and give me a chance to live..i was only 47 at diagnosis and my youngest child is 8. Not to mention,i also recently lost my twin sister to a stroke…if something happens to me, not only my 3 children and 6 grandchildren but also my sisters 4 children and four grandchildren will have nobody. We have 2 that just graduated and one 8 year old that need someone…not to mention my sons family as well as both my nephews families will have noone….please try to help me live. They've suffered enough losses to have to suffer another one..i want to be here for them as long as i can and am willing to fight as hard as i can for that to happen…please help me get this life saving treatment by donating (if possible) sharing it wherever you can, and praying for me as well as my family. I thank you all in advance.
