“About
My twin sister, Nancy Crandall, is fighting (Her2 triple positive) Breast Cancer.
Description
My family recently found out that my twin sister, Nancy has breast cancer. I have had a few people ask me if there was any way they could help with expenses or to let them know if there was anything they could do to help, especially financially. So I am creating this page, without her knowledge (Granted she will find out very soon) to help her out. She is currently a full time college student along with her husband. She does have a workstudy job but will soon be forced to quit because of treatment. One of the one things that I don’t want her to face is stress about how she is going to be able to pay for expenses, trips to the hospital, and other misc. things that her doctor and Oncologist have told her to purchase for her recovery process. Her list is growing tremendously by the day. I will also be updating her progress as she fights this.”
“After lab results came back, the nurse started “pre-meds” on IV through my chemo port “each lasting around 20-30 minutes long, minus one of the nausea meds), all for the prevention of some of the side effects. Benadryl, a steroid, 2 nausea medications, and Pepcid (for stomach)”
We kindly ask everyone to continue to post this link in their Facebook status, please (periodically) and ask your friends to post the link as well. Nancy’s journey has officially begun; Any help is needed and VERY VERY appreciated! Thank you. https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/1Husf
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) was founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder as an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding innovative clinical and translational research. In 2010, BCRF awarded $33 million to 172 scientists across the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. Currently, more than 90 cents of every dollar donated is directed to breast cancer research and awareness programs.
With exceptionally low administrative costs, BCRF continues to be one of the most efficient organizations in the country. Having received 4 stars from Charity Navigator for nine consecutive years, BCRF has outperformed 99% of more than 5,500 evaluated charities. Furthermore, the Foundation is once again listed as an “A+” charity by The American Institute of Philanthropy. No other breast cancer organization has consistently received such high ratings. For more information about BCRF, visit www.bcrfcure.org.
We are thrilled that BCRF continues to be a featured charity on the TETWP website, and that Tough Enough To Wear Pink has just signed on once again so generously as a sponsor of our Luncheon and Symposium event this coming October.
