Join Us in Praying for Kelli’s Healing

Story

My name is Baylee Tobin, and my husband is Stacy Tobin. My mother-in-law is Kelli Tobin, and I wanted to share what has been going on with her and a little bit of her story.
Kelli has been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic colon cancer, which has spread to her liver and possibly her lungs (she is receiving a CT scan on 5/20). The last week in April, Kelli felt a knot on her side. She already had an appointment with her doctor to get routine blood work, so while she was there, she mentioned the knot to her doctor. The doctor responded and said that it’s abnormal and right where your liver is, so she ordered a CT scan of her abdomen. She got the scan a few days later, and when the results came back, it showed a 3.5cm tumor on the colon and 4 masses on the liver that were taking up the majority of her liver. They did see a couple of spots on the lungs that they want to get a closer look at, but there is no conclusion at this point whether the cancer has spread there too or not.

She was then sent to get a colonoscopy 2 days later to get a biopsy of the tumor in her colon, and it came back positive for cancer. Because the tumor in her colon is taking up almost half the diameter of her colon and is also sitting at an angle, she then had to go have a stint inserted, to push the tumor out of the way and open up her colon more so there is less of a chance for a bowel obstruction.

The doctors have told us that there is no cure for this type of cancer, just managing the size for as long as they can…BUT GOD is bigger than cancer!

The doctors want to try and shrink the tumors with an aggressive regime of chemo, but there’s no guarantee that that will make them shrink or give her more time. There are other therapies out there, but they are not covered by insurance! Kelli is young and healthy and wants/needs to live! She wants to be here with her family and grandbabies! She is a strong woman and definitely a fighter! We believe with the help from God and other therapies out there, that she will kick cancer’s butt! In order to exhaust all options, we are in need of not only lots and lots of prayers and also financial help as well.
If you can, we would appreciate anything you can donate to help cover any medical expenses that insurance will not cover.
Most of all we need our prayer warriors to be lifting up Kelli daily!! Praying that God would heal her body and take away this disease, ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
