We are starting this page in hopes to help our mom in her battle with cancer. Her name is Kristy, and she is a wife of 37 years, a mom to three and a grandmother to 9.
About two years back, she as diagnosed with melanoma on her ear which was subsequently removed along with some nearby lymph nodes. All seemed to be well until fall of 2023, when she discovered a very large lump in her hip area. Doctors were fairly puzzled and tests were not conclusive. She had this large lump surgically removed right after Christmas and it was immediately sent for testing. The result was melanoma. Since then, she has met with a number of specialists including a melanoma team at Chapel Hill. She has been diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma- it has traveled in her blood. Currently, scans show several spots in her lungs.
Her team has placed her on a very stringent protocol as they move forward with further testing and treatment options. Right now, the protocol alone is over $1000/monthly and she has a number of visits and tests that are very costly and not covered by insurance.
Though she is the first to help and offer and hand to anyone in need both with time and money, she would never ask that of another. So we, her three girls, have created this space so that any of you who feel so led can contribute to her care. She has caught last minute flights to care for each of us when there has been need, and we have watched her physically care for each of her parents through their last days. She has been an advocate and a caregiver to many over the years, and now she needs us. Please share this so we can help carry this burden with Mama and Daddy!
