Dustan Leyba hasn't added a story.
At the age of only 39, Dustan Leyba has been diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer. Treatment is not only necessary, but urgent. The tumors are throughout her body, and the two biggest are the sizes of a baseball and a basketball. This is very serious, and requires a lot of time, money, and effort.
She is a mother to her three children who still live at home, the youngest being only a year old. She is the matriarch of seven children, three of which have children of their own, making her a grandmother as well. She has every reason and right to fight this battle and money should not be a worry for her, we've set up this campaign to ease her mind and stress as she undergoes chemo, surgeries, and radiation. This money will also cover taking care of her two youngest toddlers while her husband and son work to pay bills as well.
We want her to win this battle, and she will, but the added help financially is at times life saving. Without previous contributions, we would not have made it to the tumor institute in Boise last minute. We have been so blessed by the caring people who've decided to contribute to my mother's cause. Truly, truly blessed.
We are holding an art auction on Instagram to raise money, please visit @tealblueformeowladyhoo for more information.
Dustan underwent her first session radical chemotherapy on May 16, 2017.
Three rounds of chemotherapy and two rounds of radiation and the tumors have almost disappeared. She will still undergo chemo for the rest of her life though.
We are so thankful for all the support, we can't even begin to explain the helpfulness of others, it's been amazing.
