Becca and her husband Jack, have endured more heartbreak in the past few months than any young couple should have to face. After the miscarriage of their first child at 10 weeks, Becca was diagnosed with a complete molar pregnancy. Despite multiple surgeries in hopes of restoring her health, the treatments were unsuccessful, and further testing revealed gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN), a rare form of cancer. She has now begun chemotherapy and will continue treatment over the coming months.
Becca has also faced multiple emergency room visits due to complications including severe migraines and dehydration. The pain of losing their baby, combined with the physical toll of surgeries, cancer treatments, and ongoing medical challenges, has been overwhelming for both of them.
Becca and Jack are kindhearted people. As their family, we are asking for your prayers first and foremost. But if you’re also in a position to give financially, any amount would help ease the burden of medical expenses, treatments, travel, and more. Thank you for standing beside Becca and Jack during one of the most difficult seasons of their lives.
Updates
“Hey everyone, I want to share an update on Becca's treatment and ask that you continue praying for her.
After her first round of chemotherapy, her doctors monitored her cancer levels and discovered that the initial treatment was not working as they had hoped. Because of that, they made the decision to significantly increase both the intensity and the number of chemotherapy medications she receives.
Instead of a single outpatient infusion over a few hours, Becca is now admitted to UVA Hospital for three days at a time, where she receives five chemotherapy medications back-to-back throughout her stay. Each following week, she returns for another outpatient infusion before the cycle begins again. If this treatment is effective, her doctors expect this regimen will continue for the next several months until her cancer is completely gone. They have just finished their first three day stay.
As treatment continues, so do the many expenses that come with it—hospital stays, medications, travel to and from UVA, meals while away from home, and other unexpected costs. Several people have continued to asked how they can help, so we wanted to reshare our fundraiser for anyone who feels led to support them.
Please don't feel any obligation, so many of you have already given so generously, and we are deeply thankful. Your prayers and outreach are just as valuable, and they continue to feel strengthened by the love and support surrounding their family.
Please continue praying that this new chemotherapy regimen will be effective, that Becca's body will tolerate the treatments well, that her cancer levels will begin dropping quickly, and that God will continue to give them peace and strength for the road ahead.
Thank you for continuing to walk this journey with us. We are more grateful than words can say.”
