Dominique Espinosa hasn't added a story.
My name is Dominique and for the past year I have been the sole advocate for my mother Laura.
In December 2017 my mother lost 4
days of memory where she under went a CT and MRI which revealed 2 brain aneurysms. It was then the fight began.
We scheduled to do a clip of the larger for May 2018. However the month before Laura (grandma Lala) developed cough and pneumonia that wouldn’t go away. At my urging more imaging was done and revealed a large left lung mass (later diagnosed with small cell lung cancer.)
The plan changed a bit. Our new plan was to proceed with the Brain aneurysm clipping, heal for 2 weeks and start 6 rounds of chemo therapy with concurrent 30 day radiation treatment.
This woman is 4’10” and one heck of a fighter. She completed her treatment and we couldn’t be more proud of her! She responded well to the
treatment but it did not cure her cancer. It did shrink the mass to 1/2 the size and for 6 months had no growth.
April 2019 Laura’s recheck scan showed regrowth and metastasis throughout the left lung. Our plan now is to treat with immunotherapy and hope she tolerates well enough to prolong her life and time with her 3 young grandsons Beau, Gannen, and Landen. We have done well not asking for help but now we are reaching out and hope that we can get some aid to pursue every last option. Laura wants to pursue naturopathic medicine which isn’t covered by her insurance and I have devoted my time to caring for her and my newborn.
Many donations would help us in our fight against her cancer and will solely be used to make her life a little less stressful and more comfortable. At this time her doctors have changed her diagnosis to extensive stage small cell lung cancer which doesn’t have a long life span. We are determined to have her here for as long as we can.
Thank you.
