Katy Brent was diagnosed with appendix cancer in September, 2015 when her second child was just 6 weeks old. She had cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC in October 2015 which required a 10-month recovery. She was again diagnosed with recurrence in May of 2018 with another surgery and lengthy recovery. Katy has endured this disease all the while trying to care for and raise her two young children as well as caring for herself and her husband. She had a third surgery in December 2019. Her cancer is no longer operable.
Family has pitched in to help and Katy continues to try and fight the disease all while continuing her career as a full-time math/science teacher. Katy’s surgeries have made it difficult for her to digest food, resulting in weight loss, pain and reduced energy.
Stella’s Wish Foundation is granting a wish to have her house cleaned for 3 months so that she can save her strength.
