Hi Mobilians, we have a RN of 23 yrs. who needs help. She is 49 yrs old and has a VERY RARE tumor, as a result of an even MORE RARE disease...it is fatal if untreated. She is very ill now. The doctors have not ruled out cancer now, too...but w/o insurance CT scans can’t be done for that. She & her daughter need help to pay the bills until March, when the appointment is- to go to UAB under charity care and get it removed. It cannot be removed just anywhere, as the anesthesia and the touching of the tumor can cause sudden death. This RN is a single Mom and is the breadwinner. Working increases the illness and the dangers, as changes in body position cause it to pour out chemicals that increase or decrease blood pressure. It is affects hearing, causes nausea not relieved by medication,sudden death, stroke,blindness, dangerous changes in blood pressure, pain, vomiting blood, and fainting and blurred vision are a problem. There is a Fund now at Uni. of South Ala. Federal Credit Union on Hillcrest Rd near Old Shell Rd. for Bernadette Bailey,RN. Anyone wishing to start a new Fund at a better location is encouraged to do so, and assistance is needed and appreciated.
