 A Kansas mom who made headlines last year when she decided to delay invasive cancer treatment for the sake of her unborn twins has died. Danielle Dick, who in addition to her 10-month-old twins also had a 3-year-old daughter with her husband Tyler, died on April 25. "It breaks our hearts to tell you that Danielle passed away last night," a final update on the family's GoFundMe page said. "She took a sudden turn [for the] worst last Friday before starting treatment. The leptomeningeal disease spread faster than anyone was expecting. There was enough time that family was able to spend time with her. Tyler was laying with her when she passed peacefully." The page, which kept supporters updated about Dick's diagnosis at 17 weeks pregnant, the twins' premature birth and then about her most recent travels to Texas for treatment, raised more than $38,000 to help the family. Her health battle started with a 2011 surgery to remove a mole on her back that turned out to be melanoma. She began having trouble with her speech in April 2017, which was initially believed to be a pregnancy symptom. But when she lost the ability to speak completely, she was rushed to the hospital where doctors found three brain masses and two masses in her abdominal wall. Read More |
