Help Courtenay Get Her Bone Marrow Transplant.
Family and friends of Courtenay Bradshaw are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.
Courtenay is a wife, mother of 5 with one child still at home and a retired nusre. She first began her cancer journey in February 2021.Literally the day after selling their large family home Courtenay was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma that had spread from the mouth into the lymph nodes in her neck. Unfortunately their insurance didn’t cover Courtenay to have treatment at MDAnderson so the majority of the funds gained in the selling of the house were used for Courtenays treatment. These funds were to be the seed of their retirement fund, now gone. While battling the cancer in 2021 it was discovered that Courtenay had another life threatening cancer, Myelodysplastic Syndrome known as MDS. Since this Courtenay has undergone bone marrow biopsy every 4 months to watch the progression of the disease. This past January the bone marrow showed that the disease had begun to advance quickly. It was determined that the time for transplant had come. As of 5/10/24 a donor matching 100% has been found and now its just a waiting game. It is projected that Courtenay will be in hospital no later that 6/14 to begin her treatment. She will be in hospital for 30 days then in Houston no further than 15 minutes of MDAnderson for a minimum of 100 days.
The family has chosen to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.

We are currently in the hospital at MD Anderson and our day +16. That means we had the transplant 16 days ago. I am basically house arrest on bed arrest mainly test. My labs are so low that if fall, I’m probably dead so they’re being very cautious and not letting me even go up to the bathroom by myself at this point, they are a little bit shaken to fly. My body does not seem to be taking hold of these cells but eating them like there’s not been a day since transplant that I did not have to have one or at least two bags of platelets so we are not out of the woods yet and we’ve got a long way to go .
