Irene Schleissing is 32 years old, a mother of 2, and a stage 4 colon cancer patient. Certain chemotherapy treatments made neuropathy in her hand so bad that she couldn’t use them, so they tried radiation and other chemo but it wasn’t working well. After a year, she went back to the original treatments but then had such a bad reaction that she went into anaphylactic shock and almost didn’t make it. After trying other treatments that didn’t work, she is hoping to participate in a clinical trial of another.
Meanwhile, Irene wished to take her family to Universal Studios in Orlando “to make memories that will last longer than our time together.”
Irene’s wish has been granted and she will travel with her husband and two daughters to Universal Studios in Florida.
