Fans got to know Serene Russell on Bachelor Nation shows throughout the years.
She’s currently dating fellow Bachelor Nation star Brendan Morais and shares her life with fans on social media.
This week, Serene took to Instagram to share the devastating news that her mom was diagnosed with brain cancer.
In a new post on her Stories, Serene said, “On Sunday, Mother’s Day, I saw my mom and immediately became concerned with her condition during brunch — I took her to the ER, everything came back clear and she was given fluids and sent home. She kept complaining about not feeling better so I talked her into going back while I was at work.”
Serene shared that unfortunately, “She was diagnosed with a golf ball sized brain tumor and last night, diagnosed with stage 3-4 brain cancer… I am still in shock, as this has all happened in 3 days and she had been hiding her pain/ has been experiencing disorientation-it is fast growing and she had only experienced symptoms for a week.”
Serene asked for prayers and asked for people to consider donating to her GoFundMe page.
She wrote, “The first step is surgery on Tuesday and her insurance does not cover it. We are facing many obstacles but this is my mom and I know she is strong enough to beat it. My little brother and sister are 15 and still depend on her. We all do.”
Serene shared a photo of her sister and brother, who still live at home with their mom.
Susie took to her stories to reshare Serene’s GoFundMe, which she also donated to.
We are sending Serene and her family all our love during this difficult time and we’re linking her GoFundMe page here for those who want to know more about her mom’s story.
