American Idol alum Avalon Young is making a desperate plea: conserve her life.
Two months after going through a 16-hour surgical treatment to eliminate a growth the size of a peach from her left lobe in February, Young was identified with brain cancer. Now, as she deals with a 2nd surgical treatment this May, her friends and family are wishing to raise awareness—and funds for her medical costs.
Her physician has actually suggested “Laser Surgery to remove more of the remaining tumor, located in two different sections of her brain,” checks out an April 21st upgrade on a GoFundMe page, which intends to raise $100,000. “Radiation and Chemo Therapy will follow. We are positive our Medical Team will continue to carry out wonders and Avalon will healing [sic] rapidly.”
Back in November, Young—who contended on season 15 of American Idol back in 2016—began having seizures, however physicians thought it was stress and anxiety and recommended her with medication, she described in February.
“Homeopathic doctors told me I had an issue with serotonin and gave me pounds of vitamins,” she continued. “I had bloodwork done, a QEEG, and an EEG and there was no sign of any problem with my brain.”Â
