I’m raising money, due to my breast cancer battle. I am now 3 months into my fight…and it’s getting very hard financially. Paying simple bills like my phone, electric, water, and gas is getting hard to pay for.

On March 29, 2024, I got a call that I never expected to get, especially at 31…a week before my birthday. That call started with 3 words…”You have cancer.”
On February 29,I had gone to the ER for a migraine that had lasted 5 days. I deal with migraines chronically, but I had enough of the pain. A CT scan was done of my head and chest. An hour later, my Doctor came in and told me, “We don’t know what’s causing this migraine, so we will give you meds to manage the pain and nausea….but, we found a suspicious area on your left breast. I suggest making an appointment with your primary to get it checked out.”
The next week, I got into my OBGYN. It was supposed to be a quick in and out check. This appointment began all the times I’d have to show my breasts to multiple people…and I had a bad feeling in my gut about this.
My OBGYN, palpated my breast for about 10 minutes. I could see the look on her face that she was concerned. I was immediately sent down for a mammogram, and ultrasound. After the ultrasound, I went home and was told they’d call me with the interpretation.
I got a call back an hour after I got home. I was told I needed to come back for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound, a more thorough examination. I went in and did that a week later. After those were done, my mom, who came with me, had to sit and wait while it was reviewed. After what felt like hours, we were called to a consult room. Again, my gut was telling me that this is bad. I couldn’t stay positive anymore. The RN, Wendy, told me it was suspicious looking and I’d have to do a biopsy. The biopsy was a week later, and 6 samples were taken.
March 29, 2024 at 3:40 pm- is when I got that call.
Here I am now, 3 months into my battle, chemotherapy underway, 3 sessions done out of 8. My tumor has shrunk, I’ve lost ALL my hair, and I’m off work until chemo, and the mastectomy is done. It’s now very hard to stay ahead financially. I am still awaiting Social Security and disability, and sadly I’m struggling to pay for necessities.
I hate asking for help, but sadly, I have to.
Please consider helping, as it would mean a lot
