Jessica Lee Sides was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma brain cancer in 2014. She has undergone 3 brain surgeries, Chemotherapy, Radiation, and Avastin treatments. She has been kicking cancer’s butt since then. She has MRI’s every 6 weeks. They were clear up until about a year ago when cancer cells were thought to be forming. Back on Chemo. Chemo treatments stopped late in 2019. Throughout the month of December, Jes started showing symptoms. Unfortunately, the tumor has grown back. Doctors want to start immune therapy, but as of right now it is the only treatment they recommend. Doctor says to keep her comfortable. She cannot walk and cannot be left alone.
She married Tyler on October 31st, 2015, and the love the two share is unbelievable. He is her rock, he has stood by her side, he takes care of her. She has been on a strictly organic diet since the diagnosis, and he has become her personal chef. They both fell in love with Las Vegas years ago, and have gone every year. They are huge hockey fans, so were excited when the Las Vegas Golden Knights became an NHL team. Jessica has followed every inch of this team. She has watched them with such emotion. Family reached out to her favorite player and he has sent her a short video of encouragement. The smile on her face truly says everything. She watched it on loop for over an hour! In the video, he tells her if she gets well enough to come Vegas, he will make sure she attends a game, even offering her a signed jersey.
Stella’s Wish Foundation is sending Jessica to Las Vegas in an RV to attend a hockey game and see the sights.
