Fundraiser for Carson City mom battling cancer is Saturday at Flat Earth Pizza
A fundraiser for a Carson City mother who is currently battling stage 4 breast, bone and liver cancer is set for this Saturday, April 27 at Flat Earth Pizza.
The fundraiser for Mila Mangone of Carson City is from opening to closing, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the pizza restaurant, located at 2010 E William Street. Portions of the proceeds collected at the fundraiser will help Mila's treatment plan.
Mila, a mother and wife, is currently battling stage IV breast, bone and liver cancer. Last January she was given three weeks to live. Completely bedridden for nearly 10 months, the cancer in her bones broke one pelvis and cracked another, and all of the vertebrae in the back compressed and fractured, which the result was losing six inches of height.
At its worst, Mila's weight dropped to 75 pounds. Since then she has made remarkable strides, but there is still a lot of fight left, said her husband Tom Mangone. Mila is doing this naturally without chemo or radiation, and because of this reason, insurance to pay for costs has been difficult. Doctors told Mila that chemo and radiation would not work at that point, doing more harm than good.
"We would like to invite everyone to this fun filled day. Enjoy some music, all day raffles, and silent auction," said Tom Mangone. "We will have a young girl just starting out her youtube page playing the guitar and singing. Thank you to everyone for their kindness and generosity, especially Flat Earth Pizza for the venue."
People who attend are urged to tell Flat Earth Pizza staff they are there for the fundraiser, Tom added.
