In June of 2021, Lindsey started having right side numbness of her entire body. After being taken to the ER and no scans done, the doctor wrote it off and said to see her primary care. The primary care doctor referred her to neurology, where it was found through an EEG that there was sharp brain activity in December 2021. She was referred to a neurosurgeon, which identified through an MRI a grade 2 astrocytoma glioma in February 2022. In March of 2022, Lindsey underwent an awake craniotomy, which removed 40% of the tumor. There were several complications, and the biopsy came back as cancerous. The tumor being a grade 2 and slow growing, Lindsey and Alec had decided to forego treatment for the time being. During this time, they had their daughter Siena during a high risk pregnancy with multiple grand mal seizures. 3 months after Siena was born, Lindsey had an MRI which showed that the tumor was growing and decided to start seeking treatment. Alec, Lindsey and Siena went out to Houston to MD Anderson to see about getting Proton Therapy Radiation, and after a month battle finally got in. Starting November 6th, Lindsey has undergone 28 radiation treatments at the Proton Center in Houston and will return to Houston for an MRI in January to see how successful treatment was. She will continue following with MD Anderson every few month for the foreseeable future.
We have setup this GoFundMe to help Alec, Lindsey and Siena to help fund Proton Radiation Therapy, as it is an extremely expensive and specialized treatment. There are only 30 $100 million proton machines in the US, and the only radiation treatment that specializes in saving eloquent tissue in the brain. They ask for continued prayers and are extremely appreciative of any and all financial contributions.
