Touch is a 52-year-old woman with three sons and two daughters. She likes to watch TV, look after her children, and listen to old songs.
Four years ago, Touch developed multiple masses on her neck. She was treated with medication, but her symptoms did not improve. She experienced recurring pain and was unable to work.
When Touch learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), she traveled for two hours to seek treatment. She was diagnosed with lipoma on both sides of her neck. Lipoma is a growth of fat cells just below the skin.
On December 2, CSC surgeons removed the masses. After recovery, Touch will feel comfortable again. CSC is requesting $224 to fund this procedure.
“I hope to have a neck that is in better condition,” says Touch.
