RFA – Judy (Age 50) ** approved/completed 05/19/2017 **

Submitted 05/07/2017

DIAGNOSIS: Leiomyosarcoma

DATE OF DIAGNOSIS: October 2014

PHYSICIAN: Dr. Christian Meyer

HOSPITAL: Johns Hopkins

THE NEED:
I had part of my liver removed after my diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma (2014), and then 6 months of inpatient chemo at Hopkins in early 2015. My cancer was found to come back in my liver in March this year, just had major surgery at Hopkins….with removal of my right lobe of my liver and tumor, 3 weeks ago. With the co-pays and many medical expenses before and for surgery (extra not all covered by Carefirst), would love to see if we could have any financial help at all. I only can work part time and no longer have leave to cover all the time I am taking to recover. Thanks so much for considering a donation.
I learned about your organization on the Hopkins site and Nora’s story and loved the video and how positive, strong, and inspiring she is and reminds me of the way I always try to be and I’m the same age as Nora, too.
