Joyce has no medical insurance. They have discounted Senior Citizen cards. The money spent on the surgeries and treatments in the past are all from the children's savings or loans. All are over extended in terms of loans. An additional $30,000 or $10,000 per child is not feasible. Some of our loans from the Mandibular resection and chemo will take 3 years to pay - 2015 frown

We paid for the peg out of our son's savings, which will pay monthly. That alone was $3000, she had complications and had to stay in the hospital for a week - high fever and weakness. It also paid for the 2 radiation treatments last week.

The children were told the likelihood of the cancer returning is high. But the family was willing to do it all just to extend her life. Unfortunately there is no cure and all efforts are for life extension.

I thank all of you for your love and concern. We are one happy family.
