Tricia's Story

Tricia is single. Her schools include Lynn English High School. I hope everyone is well. I wanted to inform you of my health situation. Press Release FOUR TIME CANCER SURVIVOR The family and friends of Tricia Tierney (formerly Patricia Hart) are uniting to raise money to help her battle against endometrial, cervical, bladder, and kidney cancers. Tricia is a retired teacher residing just outside of Boston, Ma. She dedicated her career to sharing her love and enthusiasm for music to many underprivileged children. A 30 year veteran of the Lynn Public School System she touched the lives of thousands of children. Outside of the classroom Tricia enjoys traveling and teaching water aerobics at many local fitness centers. In February of 2011 Tricia was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Later that year the cancer was surgically removed. In October of 2012 Tricia found out that the uterine cancer had relapsed into cervical cancer. The CT and PET scans that were performed to determine where the endometrial cancer had spread resulted in the additional diagnoses of bladder and kidney cancers. Tricia learned of these 3 new cancers within a 10-day span. Shortly after her new diagnoses, Tricia underwent surgery to determine the extent of the bladder cancer and the results came back that it was more involved than originally thought.

ancer, the surgeon hoped he could also remove the kidney cancer at the same time. Unfortunately, the kidney cancer turned out to be larger than expected and only biopsies were taken. When Tricia was coming out of her anesthesia, she learned that the treatment of the kidney cancer would require removal of her right kidney. Before her kidney could be removed, Tricia had to endure 5 weeks of daily external radiation followed by 5 days of internal radiation for her cervical cancer as it was the most aggressive of the 3 cancers. Although this would cause the average person to feel defeated Tricia has managed to remain extremely positive through this difficult time. On April 23rd, Tricia learned she has 3 new bladder tumors, which are scheduled to be removed surgically on May 28th. Tricia is on a 14 year follow-up plan as all three cancers have a high rate of recurrence. They say in life you have to ask for what you need and right now, Tricia needs our support. Tricia’s friends and family respectfully ask for any financial assistance you are able to provide at giveforward.com/teamtricia which ends on August 29th.
