Blankenship-Beeler Benefit

A benefit for a local woman with a rare form of cancer takes place this month. Fifty-two year old Raymond resident Carrie Blankenship-Beeler began noticing problems in June. Her sister, Karla Davis, says it has been a journey since then in and out of the hospital trying to find what's going on with Beeler. Davis says her sister was diagnosed with appendix cancer.

"Appendix cancer is very very rare. The doctors, they don't know for sure how to treat it. Everybody says don't treat it like colon cancer because it's not the same, but there's not that much documentation on appendix cancer because of it being so rare."

Davis says her sister is currently undergoing chemotheraphy.

A benefit for Beeler takes place from 5 to 6:30pm on Saturday, April 18th at the Litchfield Moose Lodge. There will be a dinner of mostaccioli, salad and garlic bread and entertainment including a magician and music. Tickets will be sold at the door. For more information, contact Karla Davis at 313-6507 or visit the Benefit For Carrie Blankenship-Beeler Facebook Event Page.Thomack 4/7/15
