Stage 3 Nasopharyngeal carcinoma which is a squamous cell carcinoma. I will start both Chemo and Radiation by next week. They will do both at the same time. It’s going to be a long tough road. But I’ll be standing victorious at the end!

Cancer has already taken so much from me and my family and it’s not done. FU cancer. I’m putting my gloves on 🥊🥊I’m gonna fight like a girl and I am going to win this time!!

My support squad is nothing short of amazing. I am so overwhelmed by the love and support that I have and continue to receive. Gratitude is best shown by actions, so I fight this for you all as well. I love you all and please keep sending the thoughts, prayers and good vibes my way. 💜

I apologize for any confusion on the shirt orders regarding shipping…The orders for shirts are being picked up Thursday the 21st, you can make arrangements to pick up from myself, Deanna or Marlin or we will have at the fundraiser for you. ANYONE THAT CHOSE “SHIPPING” those will not ship until November 21st, if you would like to change to pick up to guarantee to have in time for fundraiser please let me know and I will change with AccentsTees the delivery method for you. However because of the cost of the shirts and $5 going towards Deanna they will not be able to refund any shipping charges. There is a chance you may have them in time, I just want everyone aware that will depend on mail delivery after the 21st.

On Labor Day weekend Deanna noticed she was having a hard time swallowing. She then noticed a lump on the side of her neck. At that time, she started with appointments and testing, which led to more appointments and more testing.

After a biopsy she was given a diagnosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma. She has then had to do more testing and another biopsy is scheduled for this Friday November 1st to determine the “Primary Site”, before she begins treatment in the next couple weeks. She is looking at possible surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation or all of it.

Deanna has been very strong, positive and ready to fight this battle, but she’s also scared, stressed and financially stretched to the limit. She is very fortunate to have insurance, however she also has an extremely high deductible and out of pocket cost for every appointment, test, surgery and treatment she has had and will receive.

So, this is where I come to you, her “Support Squad”, and ask that you all come have fun and most important show Deanna your support, love and that we are here for her.

I am planning a fundraiser for her, with information to follow, once plans are solidified. If you would like to donate baskets for raffle, donate items, gift cards, scratch offs, etc. any and all help is welcome and appreciated. I can be contacted at 734-626-1053 or emailed at deannascancerjourney@gmail.com.
