Debbie Breast Cancer Support
Donation protected
As many of you know, I have been struggling with peritoneal cancer since March.
As you also know surprise medical issues can cause work and financial stress. Paul and I are very fortunate to be able to concentrate on my health as I have flexibilty and support at work and although expensive, the means to manage financially.
That unfortunately is not the case for our daughter Debbie who was just diagnosed with Triple Negative Ductal Carcenoma. Paul and I have been and will continue to support Debbie both emotionally and financially, as will other family members that have already reached out.
We do not want set a goal. Our goal is to let all our wonderful family and friends who would send gift of flowers, hats, fruit and other very thoughful items which I cherish, but are not what Debbie needs right now. She needs help to relieve the financial stress she is feeling.
Debbie has a high deductible on her insurance plan which has not been met. Her cancer has been caught early, Stage 1, but it is grade 3 which is fast growing and aggressvie. Chemo begins next Thursday July 28 and I will accompany her to her first treatment as it is the day before mine. Debbie has already been informed to bring $666 next week and $450 every other Thursday for the next 3 weeks. She will attempt to work if she can but will need to take take many days off without pay.
We appreciate any contributions and will use toward the the 1st set of chemo treatments we have not yet fully covered, the lumpectomy surgery, the next round of chemo every week for 12 weeks, and then lastly radiation if genetic testing does not confirm a need a double mastectomy and ovary removal.
Tom is picking up overtime where he can but with all the life activities and expenses, school clothes, etc that come with having a 13 and 14 year old girls, the medical expenses seem overwhelming.
I know this is a long email, but it will be a long road. With all the information Debbie received this past Thursday regarding her course of treatment, what brought her to tears was the financial concern. She should only have concentrate on her health.
Again we are only advising those of you who asked how you could help, and the best way to help. If your plan was to pray, then please just pray as the prayers have worked amazingly for me, and we are, and will continue to be eternally grateful !! Thank you all for your support! XOXO
