Thank you for fundraising with us this year again! Here is more information.

Update 2/3/2024:  Insurance has finally approved a third chemo drug and the Docs are looking at a fourth chemotherapy in the future.  She is being referred to Jefferson to see a specialized neurologist.  Sue has lost sensation in her hands and feet. Within minutes of relaying this information to her care team, they were on top of it.  An MRI was completed and compression fractures were ruled out, however she was told she has lesions throughout her c spine to her lumbar spine. The unknown is that Amyloidosis is still on the table.  This can live within the various systems like the CNS and not be caught in the fat biopsy.  This is why a specialized neurologist is important.  She is symptomatic with neurological symptoms along with the GI/ Kidney symptoms still.  She will be seen at Jefferson at the end of February.  Please keep praying for Sue and her family during this trying journey.   <div>One of our own-  Sue Maguire has been a dedicated Paramedic serving Berks County for decades, many years with Western Berks EMS.  She has a long, challenging road ahead of her...</div><div>Sue has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma Blood Cancer.</div><div>Sue went into Acute Renal failure recently and has been trying to get answers as to why her lab values have been out of sorts.  </div> Last week, Sue was admitted to the hospital and was seen by Oncology who had decided a bone marrow biopsy was the first step as her lab values are trending towards Multiple Myeloma.  While she waits for the results of the biopsy, Oncology recommended the start of treatment immediately.  Sue started chemotherapy over the weekend and has had plasmapheresis treatments thus far.  It is unknown how long she will be hospitalized at this point.  Everyone who knows Sue knows that she is a kind, generous, hard-working woman who would do anything for her family, friends, crew and co-workers.
