CARTHAGE, Texas — An East Texas woman is battling a terminal cancer diagnosis just months after being declared cancer-free from a rare form of ovarian cancer.

After initially responding to treatment, the cancer returned and spread. Now, the Carthage community is rallying to help cover her medical and travel costs as she seeks alternative care.

“Without treatment, they said I might have six months,” Monica Perry said. “With treatment, then they really couldn't tell, maybe double that.”

In downtown Carthage, friends, family and community members came together to support Monica in her renewed fight against cancer.

“We want to raise as much money as we can for her so they're not burdened during this time of her seeking treatments,” Organizer and close friend Alan Scarborough said.
