Central Jersey Mom Battling Cancer 'Taking Over Her Body'

A cancer diagnosis was bad enough for a Central Jersey mom. Even worse, during treatment, she'll be away from her 5-month-old baby.

Taryn Jozefowicz Snell was diagnosed with AML Leukemia on April 15, and is undergoing aggressive treatment from the hematology/oncology group at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick.

More than $43,000 had been raised as of Monday, April 24 on a GoFundMe campaign launched by Emily Pareti of Milltown.

Taryn will receive two types of chemo together: One for one week and the other for three. Then, she will be in the hospital for three weeks in recovery. 

Up next are four more chemo cycles, where she will be admitted for about three days at a time. Once that is complete, she may need to be on preventative medicine or undergo a bone marrow biopsy.

The money will be used for hospital bills, meals, baby care, mortgage payments and miscellaneous medical expenses, Pareti said.

"Please pray for Taryn on this journey to fighting cancer," Pareti said.
