A Gofundme page has been set up for a Columbia Falls woman who is suffering from the side effects of a cancerous tumor in her heart.

Earlier this year doctors were able to successfully remove the tumor from Mary Ann Binns, according to friend Jean Biel, but Binns suffered brain damage.

The expectation was that Binns wouldn’t survive, but she woke up and asked for Biel.

“I rushed back to the hospital to find her sitting up and speaking to me as though nothing at all had happened. Truly a miracle,” Biel said on Binns’ gofundme page.

However, the tumor caused her lungs to fill with fluids giving her serious respiratory issues. Her feet or portions of them are in danger of amputation, Biel said. Her kidneys shut down and she is on frequent dialysis. She is in fragile condition.

If folks want to help out they can visit gofundme.com and search for Mary Ann Binns.
