Hello everyone!

My name is Edna. I am asking for your help.

Last year, October 2023, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In 2008, I had triple by-pass surgery. 

Healthy lifestyle habits of mind, body, and spirit have always been a passion of mine; so no doubt I became seriously intrigued with how my body became the subject of two life threatening diseases. 

I believe, with confidence, that changes in our diets as well as a conscious awareness of our environment can limit our exposure to the things that are most responsible for many of these diseases.

December 2023 I was weighing about 65lbs, the chemo wasn’t working for my body. In May, I chose to discontinue the remaining chemotherapy treatments. My body began to respond, and with time some of the side effects began disappearing. As of August 2024, I’m about 90lbs; I still have cancer. Everyday is an experience in this body and time…well, I’m grateful for every bit of time I’m blessed with.

Your donations will help reduce extensive medical bills incurred during treatments as well as  expenses I incur while fighting this beast. I’m also interested in enrolling in a 6 month course series on Integrative Medicine at the UA Andrew Weil Integrative Medicine Center here in Arizona. 

I have a degree in psychology, educational studies in physical therapy and nutrition. My goal is to guide others in learning how to take part in their own healing as well as attaining and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.

Most importantly is needing help to satisfy the extensive medical expenses; then as mentioned, be able to pursue the coursework studies.

My gratitude and love is immeasurable for your prayers, donations, and support as I continue to fight to live. Yes, I want to live. 

Edna
