286. Lisa Pensabene

In October of 2020, Lisa was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Her once fast-paced lifestyle has seemed to come to an abrupt stop after her diagnosis, leaving time only for doctor’s appointments, treatment and rest just to do it all again. They say fighting cancer is only half the battle, living life is the other half. Funds are extremely limited as they have become a one income household, with the added expense of copays, travel and lodging through the treatment process.

Lisa’s cancer has spread to her brain and she had to surrender her driver’s license (in case of seizures). The brain radiation side effects can last up to a year or more. Her main side effects are severe headaches, blurry vision, off balance & extreme fatigue.

Lisa made a wish to spend a few days in VT with their dogs at a dog resort during a short break in between treatments.

Stella’s Wish Foundation is granting them a 3-night stay at the Paw House Inn. https://www.pawhouseinn.com/
