Our family regrets to inform our many friends and gracious supporters that Cyndy passed peacefully, and free of pain, at 4:35 a.m. Friday 7/28/2023, UPMC Memorial Hospital, with her husband Denton at her side.

This long goodbye has been a uniquely challenging, often painful experience for us all, not least of which Cyndy, who through no fault of her own was dealt the unimaginable and persevered privately, and with grace.

We thank you for your continued support, and privacy during this time. Arrangements will be made publicly available as soon as possible, and will take place in York, PA, date to be determined.

Hi again friends and family
Assistance is needed to keep the Denton family afloat during this time of ongoing care for Cyndy.

Since shortly after Cyndy's hospitalization in May, where she and Denton spent their anniversary, Cyndy has been on home Hospice care, her physical condition full of ups and downs. Denton, being her primary daily and nightly caregiver, since even before Hospice set up, has not been able to work in many months. While the disability claim was finally approved (and expedited) recently, that assistance does not begin until September. Hospice is a blessing, and does cover the majority of the medical costs while in their care, but there are essential medications and goods that they must go out of pocket for.

With the success of the prior GoFundMe, which was absorbed quickly by daily costs, we are hopeful that we can rally again to keep the household expenditures caught up, power on, and fridge stocked, until Denton can return to work.

This goal should cover what the Leonards need to catch up, and cushion what lies ahead.

Blessings to you all who have been awaiting updates, who are able to give, and who can share and circulate.

With your continued sharing and support we reached our initial goal so quickly, and cannot thank you all enough💕

The continual cost of cancer and it’s wicked effects on every facet of their life has caught up just as quickly. Please continue to share and recirculate our GoFundMe. We will adjust the goal amount as/when needed for the Leonard Family.

Thank you all so much for being part of our village,

Hey Friends and Family,

"No news" has not been good news. Since our last big update (March), Cyndy has been generally unwell, but maintaining, with no real change until April, when she received her most recent set of scans. April 26th she received MRI results that showed extensive worsening of Leptomeningeal Cancer (attacking the three membranes that line the skull, vertebral canal, and enclose the brain and spinal cord). This has also metastasized around the liver, causing liver failure.

Cyndy's "normal" state has been extreme fatigue, full body pain, limited mobility, and sporadic nausea with poor appetite.

🩺 This past Wednesday, May 3rd, Cyndy felt very sickly, and had onset of chest pain with shortness of breath, bringing her to the hospital, where she was soon admitted. A small pulmonary embolism was located in the left lung, and her blood counts were low enough to warrant a blood transfusion. This level of anemia is typical with progressive cancers (as chemo causes drops in blood counts), and has most likely been the main cause of the ongoing extreme fatigue. 30% of cancer patients develop some type of clot during their battle. A heparin drip was started for a short time to get a start on the PE.

Thursday, Cyndy and Denton spent their wedding anniversary in the hospital, where an ultrasound ruled out further clots in the legs, and an echocardiogram got a good look around her heart. 🩸She received one blood transfusion (which takes about 4hrs per unit), and her counts came up and stayed up enough not to warrant a second transfusion, but not high enough to be great. Her coloring and outward condition improved greatly with the fresh hemoglobin and everything that comes with clean blood. This also improved the crushing fatigue, but not enough to mitigate it completely.

📋 The plan moving forward is staying off the oral chemo for a stretch, and receiving a weekly, lumbar-injected chemo into the meninges, to slow the "lepto" progression. She will self-inject a blood thinner daily in between the lumbar chemo shots. The lumbar shot and the blood thinner shot do not do super well together, so she will discontinue the blood thinner in the days just prior to the chemo and resume after the chemo is injected.

Friday evening, Cyndy got to go home, with a new at-home pain management plan, and an assigned palliative care team to move forward with her, and help her make decisions about her self care and pain management.

🏥 The experience of care at UPMC York has been top tier.

Everyone's foremost priority will remain Cyndy's pain management, comfort, and private time with family.

Do continue to support her with your love, prayers, pictures, and donations. Let's help her give it a fight 🥊
