In an emotional post on her GoFundMe<\/a> page, Heineman shared that the diagnosis has left her nearly bedridden and in constant pain.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m in pain. I\u2019ve been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma a few weeks ago and I went from being an active outgoing computer nerd into a nearly bedridden cancer patient who is non stop exhausted,” she wrote.<\/p>\n Diagnosis<\/p>\n Heineman first suspected something was wrong while attending PAX Prime, where she found herself out of breath after climbing a single flight of stairs. After returning home to Dallas<\/a>, she sought emergency care and discovered 2,300ml of fluid in her lung cavity.<\/p>\n \u201cThey drained another 1600ml a week later. After cat scans, X-rays, and blood tests they finally found that the cancer is in my lungs and liver,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n Although some of her treatment is covered by private insurance, Heineman says many of her providers are out of network, resulting in massive medical bills.<\/p>\n
