Brownsville mother diagnosed with Leukemia seeks donations.

“You guys, Jackey has leukemia cancer, I feel so bad.” that was the text I received on Thursday from a friend once he found out Jackey was diagnosed.

Dr. Marco Boek of Texas Oncology diagnosed  Brownsville resident Jackey Resendez  with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The  23-year-old mother of two beautiful  children, ages 2 years and 8 months, and  wife to Rolando Resendez is waiting for a  diagnosis on how far along the cancer is.

Acute myeloid leukemia has many different  names including, acute myelocytic leukemia, acute granulocytic leukemia, and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia.

The “acute” means that it can progress quickly if not treated and would more than likely be fatal in a few months.

The “myeloid” refers to the type of cell this leukemia starts from.

A close friend to the family created a GoFundMe page for Jackey’s medical expenses. Jackey starts Chemo treatment on the 17^th of August, reason as to why the asking of donations. She isn’t insured and doesn’t meet the requirements to be covered by Medicaid.
