“This treatable but not curable type of cancer has impacted my life and the life of my family in an unfathomable way,” Pauline McCarthy wrote on a GoFundMe page created to raise money for her as she fights the disease.

“My treatment which consists of chemo twice a day every day has eliminated my capability to work,” the mother and grandmother wrote.

The page has raised over $7,000 in donations by Monday evening.

“I am so thankful for the constant help I receive from all of you,” she wrote.

McCarthy also reminded supporters to “smile every chance you get.”
