Doctors said my hip pain was just tendinitis from sitting all day at work. The real cause may kill me... they had left it far too late
Doctors blamed the suspected tendinitis on the 23-year-old being 5ft 9in tall and sitting in a salon chair all day. Doctors referred her to physical therapy, but the pain worsened and left her unable to do the exercises. Her mother, Marissa Koons, has set up a GoFundMe page to help raise money for reproductive egg retrieval, as chemotherapy can destroy them and lead to infertility. '[The fundraiser] exceeded the goal, and we're at over $7,000 now, which has helped us to pay for the egg retrieval without me going into my credit card debt. It really did help, but most of it went to the egg retrieval because that needed to be taken care of.'
