Diane was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer with metastasis to her spine September of 2022 at age 61. She has worked two full-time jobs to provide for her children and self and was able to retire from one as a teachers aid of 30 years just 3 months prior to her diagnosis. She is currently still working 30 hrs at Kay Jewelers to maintain her health insurance to get her chemo treatments. Her husband died at age 55 of a different cancer. Diane just turned 62 last week and was informed this week after 4 months of chemo her tumors have not shrunk. She basically will just stay on chemo to extend her life as long as possible.
Diane’s family made a wish for some way to have fun together while she is still able, so Stella’s Wish Foundation is helping them with a stay at Caesar’s Atlantic City.
