Two weeks ago, my best friend was diagnosed with an exceedingly rare central nervous system cancer, called PNET. It metastasized to her ovary and lymph nodes, and already progressed to Stage 3 at the time of discovery. There are no treatment roadmaps for this cancer subtype. I told her that she might be a celebrity at her hospital because she’s going to be recorded in medical history. Kristie responded, “Main character energy always!! 🤣” That’s my girl.
I created an emergency GoFundMe, and we raised almost 50%—maybe more by the time this is posted. I linked it below. Praise God for mobilizing his Church to pray for and support my precious friend!
However, these past 24 hrs have been unbelievably challenging for Kristie and Phil. Here’s the update from her husband: - Kristie and I are so overwhelmed by all the support and love we’ve received. We had no idea the support was going to be to this extent and just genuinely amazed at the response. - Kristie had to go back to the ER last night around 9PM. There was a lot of fluid build up that was causing pain where she couldn’t really walk but she was able to get antibiotics and will be getting a CT scan to better see what’s happening. We went to the ER at MD Anderson (our first appointment is in a few days) and they were able to see us so quickly which we are really grateful for. - We toured an amazing apartment that we both loved and waiting for the last bits of our application to finalize and we’re hoping this is our home for our stint in Houston.
Prayer Requests: - For the perfect team of doctors at MD Anderson to be assembled for Kristie - Supernatural grace during a time where we are both being stretched - For her Chemotherapy to go well and to be able to start it soon - More clarity and knowledge from the doctors on this very rare cancer
