UPDATE!!!! IT WORKED! Merck got in touch with Lorie today and they are going to do everything they can for her.
I spent the afternoon yesterday with Lorie Volker. Lorie is fighting stage 4 High Grade Pleomorphic Sarcoma and needs our help. The cancer has now spread to her heart and her only treatment option left is Keytruda, manufactured by Merck. They are not currently running clinical trials of the drug but may give it to her on a compassionate basis. Lorie does not have time to go through proper channels.
Lorie is a HUGE fan of the Alone show, and an avid outdoors woman. If love of life and the will to live were enough, she would have enough to cure other people. Thanks to your prayers and e-mails Merck is now involved.
This Honey Badger doesn't tap out.
UPDATE FROM LORIE VOLKER...
WE DID IT!!! We did what I thought was impossible, in just 2 short days we made such an impact with one of the largest Global Pharmaceutical companies that they dropped everything to help!!! High level folks from Merck have directly reached out to Abby Hildebrand and I and are going to do anything they can do to help!!
THEY CALLED US ON NEW YEARS DAY!! They can not wait to get in touch with my doctors and start whatever it is that I need to try to save me!! Praise The Lord!!! Our posts and videos literally went viral!!!! My beautiful friends and TENS OF THOUSANDS of complete strangers all came together to give ME the most glorious gift ever.....A CHANCE AT LIFE!!
I can not wait until I can have the opportunity to figure out ways to personally thank every. One. Of. You!
