Our friend, Carmen Lasley, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2001.  She has undergone two surgical removals of malignant lesions.  Radiation and chemo are not options.

In late 2005 and early 2006, she contracted bronchial pneumonia and then aspergillius fumigatus, a fungus that attacks the lungs that she contracted from a moldy coop apartment she has now moved out of.  These infections were treated with antibiotics and steroids.  After a year of constant infections and a lack of response to treatment, it was discovered that she had developed an autoimmune disorder. 

She began treatments under the care of a naturopathic physician in late Dec. ’06.  The results were very reassuring, as she has only had 3 infections this year compared to at least 12 infections last year.

Recent Prognosis:  Then, in December 2006 a suspicious spot on her right lung was discovered and by February, attention switched to a pleural thickening on the left lung.  The doctors have now informed Carmen that this pleural thickening is a hot spot and most likely cancer and that it is not treatable.  She was further advised that due to her previous surgeries and loss of lung capacity, another surgery is not an option as she would not have enough lung capacity to breath and also, that chemo and radiation were not options as they would not stop her type of cancer.  Further advice from the doctors was that while she has some level of quality of life, to live each moment to the fullest. 

Carmen is a fighter and more aggressive naturopathic treatments were sought and applied in the late spring of this year and since July ’07.  The pleural thickening has remained stable and is not growing at this time. We would like to see Carmen continue with the alternative naturopathic treatments as her need is immediate in the hope that not only will this pleural thickening stop growing but perhaps even disappear completely.  

Carmen has a gift of bringing people together and making things happen.  She is incredibly generous with her time and expertise despite the fact that she is limited with her energy.  She is a huge source of encouragement and informal advice to other artists (she always worked in the legal field but was an artist by night and weekends) and despite her own ailments, she is always willing to go the extra mile to lend a helping hand to others.  We are therefore asking you to extend your hand to make it possible for Carmen to continue to receive alternative naturopathic treatments so that she can continue to be an inspiration to her friends and to her community and so she can maintain the quality of life she is so desperately trying to hold onto at this time.
