Meet Shannon and her family. She is loved by many and full of life. She has always been athletic and has a passion for life. She grew up with 4 brothers and can hold her own. She fiercely loyal, strong, confident and courageous. She is not afraid to take on anything and she never backs away from a fight. But she also has a beautiful artistic tender side that helps her make the world around her a beautiful place. She has just begun to develop her talents in gardening and making her house a home to raise her her new baby. In September 2017 Shannon was diagnosed with a brain tumor 3 short weeks after delivering her first baby, a beautiful daughter, Lydia. She immediately had surgery to remove it. What the doctors found was an evasive mass. They were unable to remove all of it. Shannon was told it was a stage 4 Glioblastoma tumor and even with chemotherapy and radiation there was a 0% chance of survival. At most she had 12 months to live. With that devastating news Shannon decided to enjoy whatever time she had left with Lydia and Josh. In December 2017 the symptoms the doctors said would become more prevalent as the cancer progressed had started to show. Headaches, tiredness and memory loss being just the beginning of the downward spiral. This pushed her to look for a solution instead of accepting her fate leading her to find a treatment center that will accept her and giver her hope for a better chance at a future.
Causenta Wellness Center in Arizona treats cancer by measuring bio chemical details to discover the root cause of the cancer. The have research and information from all over the world.
They will work to personalize a treatment plan that will maximize Shannon's natural ability to fight cancer.
They have a high success rate with Glioblastoma patients. But we need your help so Shannon can be given this opportunity. The cost of the initial treatment is enormous as well as the continued treatment she will need. Insurance will not cover any of it because it is an unconventional, state of the art program. Leaving Shannon and her family to shoulder this financial burden alone.
Shannon is a fighter and has so much still to give in this world, but she cannot win this fight alone. She has many people who love her and are ready to step up and help her in any way they can.
We all want to give her the chance to see Lydia grow.
