Week 5 update! 05/13/2025
Mom is doing good this week, she had some minor setbacks last week as we had to pause her infusions due to low WBC (this is very common while enduring treatment). She received some medications to help raise those numbers and will restart infusions tomorrow.
As for the over all treatment process, she is doing good. We are hopeful her upcoming scan and blood work will reveal progress against this disease. Les is there with her and we are making arrangements for her to possibly stay in Phoenix for the month of June. We are still short for our financial goals and are continuing to ask for donations big or small. Our family is working daily on making sure she has everything she needs. Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers and contributions!!! Mom is beyond grateful and humbled by this process.
Update on mom: 4/29/25
Update on our momma!
She is done with treatment number 5, she will need 3 more and then retest her cancer levels and a scan a little later after that to see how well she is responding to treatment.
So far, this has been nothing short of a miracle. If you know my mom, you know she doesn’t tolerate medications well and is sensitive to most things.
By the grace of God, she is fighting this battle with strength she didn’t possess before we got here.
She has made friends with EVERYONE here 😂 and spends her treatment time talking a praying with fellow cancer patients.
Thank you for your ongoing prays and support!!!! We are forever grateful 🥹
Week Two is down!
We met with the board of physicians and went over her treatment plan, what to expect in the weeks to come and potential results.
They are all so knowledgeable and kind. They use a variety of holistic, alternative and conventional treatments that are very effective. The goal is to treat the body as a whole and build up her immune system to fight cancer instead of chase it with hard drugs that kill both the cancer and the immune system.
So far, she Is tolerating the treatment very well. The facility is top notch!
She will need to complete the entire 5 weeks and retest to see if her numbers a s scan are responsive to treatment and go from there. We are hopeful .
Again, we cannot thank you all enough for your prays and financial support, we are not to goal yet and appreciate every single donation more than you know.
Onward and upward!
- UPDATE: Week one down!
Mom did so good last week, her port is working well, she had a PET scan today and more bloodwork. We were pleased to find out her kidney and liver are functioning properly. She is doing well, but extremely fatigued. She’s doing her best to answer phone calls, and messages,when she’s not in treatment, she is usually sleeping. We have a full week ahead, I (Sonja) will be taking over for our wonderful brother Isaac on Wednesday. I will keep you updated as much as I can this week. Thank you all for your donations, thoughts and prayers.
Update day 3:
It was a long day full of testing, blood work, IV oxygen therapy and visits to surrounding hospitals for ultrasounds.
She will have a port put in tomorrow, this will give easier access to IV therapy. She is very tired but still fighting and hopeful. We are still needing funding for the duration and are so thankful for what God has blessed us with this far. Thank you for your prayers and support.
Update Day 2:
Treatment went well today, lots of therapeutic activity. Mom is fatigued but in good spirits. We are hopeful this first week will be smooth. Lots of prayers needed. Thank you again to everyone who have called, texted and donated!
UPDATE: DAY ONE
first day of treatment down, she tolerated it well. everything from low-dose intravenous chemotherapy to pmolotov cocktail of anti-cancer protocol. Her schedule this week is a medical extravaganza. We pay as we go daily, we had multiple unforeseen costs of vitamins and supplements as well.
Thank you everyone for your help so far!!!
As most of you know, our mother, Pamela Naderhoff was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in March 2025. She has 9 children and almost 17 grandchildren that are not ready to say goodbye.
The prognosis is very grim with traditional treatments and without. Chemotherapy is not something she could have endured at this time.
She has decided to try and fight this horrible disease with alternative cancer treatments and has been graciously accepted into the Euromed Foundation Cancer Treatment Center in Arizona. After reviewing her charts and imaging, they have given us something that we have not yet felt and that is HOPE.
We are all so grateful and blessed to have this opportunity. It will be 30-45 days of rigorous treatments, she will be staying with family in AZ. She starts treatment on Tuesday, April 15th.
UNFORTUNATELY, the treatment is not covered by her insurance, the cost is $7,500 a week and she will need 4-6 weeks of treatment. This is a small price to pay for our mother’s life.
We will know shortly after starting if she is responding well. The physicians on staff have been very encouraging but also realistic. This is a very aggressive and fast moving cancer, so starting now is imperative.
Our family is coming together to help her fight, we will be taking turns being with her and helping with care. We are asking for financial assistance with this treatment and will be updating everyone throughout the entire process. Every penny will go directly to her treatment. This is also a tax write off so keep your receipts!
As always, prayers are always needed, if you can’t give, please continue to pray. We serve a mighty God who is the ultimate healer!
Forever grateful for all of your love and support we also appreciate the outpouring of love and support from friends, family and even strangers during this difficult time.
