It has been a month since 20-year 911 Dispatcher Kristin Oilar received her diagnosis for pancreatic cancer.
Oilar’s friend and co-worker Melissa Johnson set up a gofundmeaccount to aid Oilar.
Oilar will require two to three months of chemotherapy to shrink a tumor, which lies near a main artery, after which, she’ll undergo a surgery to remove the tumor.
Friend and co-worker Melissa Johnson set up a gofundmeaccount to help defray the costs of treatment.
Additional fundraisers are expected in the spring for Oilar as she progresses through her course of treatment.
