In August of 2019, I was diagnosed with Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma, a very rare cancer.  Susie was really affected by my diagnosis and treated me like her own daughter.  She did everything and anything she could to help me through this process.  I was very malnourished and dehydrated, and she was very prompt in responding to my doctor’s order for IV fluids.  

She hugged me and told me that if I needed anything, she would help me—and she did.  She supported me by being my direct liaison to my doctor.  When I told her I had to have a laparotomy to get my tumors removed, and the surgeon told me I probably wouldn’t live through the surgery – she told me to focus on the positive.  She told me I could email or call her for anything I needed, even emotional support.  She was there for me.  

It’s now December 2019, and I am alive.  I’m forever grateful to Susie for her undying love and support.
