Emma Reyes hasn't added a story.
Hello,
My aunt is Emma Mendez, she’s 68 years old and lives in Honduras, Central America. Over 10 years ago she was diagnosed with Urethral Cancer and resulted in removing her Uterus, her right Ovary and part of her left one. She went through Chemotherapy and checkups throughout the year until she was cancer free. Since then, she has been going to checkups every 6 months. A month ago, she did a lower abdomen ultrasound, since it was painful. The doctor found out she had a 15cm mass and it was growing (a teratoma). She got a surgery to get it removed and get a biopsy, and it came out malignant.
She has to undergo 6 chemo sessions for now (1 every 3 weeks) starting as soon as possible.
As I mentioned before, she lives in Honduras, it’s really hard and expensive to get this type of treatment, so we created this account in hopes you can help us with the chemotherapy and cancer treatment for my aunt by donating. Any amount helps, trust me. We appreciate you all. We’ll keep you updated.

Hola.
Mi tía es Emma Mendez, tiene 68 años y vive en Honduras, Centro America. Hace más de 10 años fue diagnosticada con cáncer de uretra y resultó en la extracción de su Utero, su Ovario derecho y parte de su Ovario izquierdo. Estuvo sometiéndose a quimioterapia y chequeos todo el año incluso hasta después de no tener cancer. Desde entonces, va a chequeo con el urólogo cada 6 meses. Hace un mes, hizo un ultrasonido del abdomen inferior, ya que sentia mucho dolor. El doctor descubrió que tenía una masa de 15 cm y esta estaba creciendo con rapidez (un teratoma). Le hicieron una cirugía para remover el teratoma y hacer una biopsia, la cual salió con resultado maligno.
Tiene que someterse a 6 sesiones de quimioterapia por ahora (1 sesión cada 3 semanas) comenzando lo antes posible.
Como mencioné antes, ella vive en Honduras, es muy difícil y caro obtener este tipo de tratamiento en este país, por esta razón creamos esta cuenta. Con las esperanzas de que nos puedan colaborar con un granito para poder cubrir una parte de la quimioterapia y el tratamiento del cáncer para mi tía. Cualquier cantidad ayuda, enserio. Les agradecemos a todos de antemano. Los mantendremos informados.
