Ally had been trying to figure out what was happening to her neck and shoulder since March 2024. After months of being passed around in the hospital system and getting a tentative diagnosis 10 minutes before boarding an international flight in June, she was officially diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma on the first day of her treatment in early August. The journey so far has been full of waiting, frustrations, and deep anxieties, and we've been lovingly overwhelmed by friends and family wanting to support us. This is a birthday wish list from her spouse, Mercedes, for Ally's comfort and wellbeing during this emotional and tumultuous time. If you've wanted to help but weren't sure how, we're trying our best to gather our knowledge and needs after three sessions of chemo (5 more to go, or 9 if the next PET scan proves unfavorable). Please take a look below. Regardless, thank you for your consideration, and please continue to send positive vibes and lots of love to Ally. <3
