Leanne's breast cancer journey
Donation protected
This is one thing I really didn't want to have to do, but as hard as I try illness = extra bills :/
I was diagnosed at 35 with Breast Cancer in June, as many of you know, the first step for me was surgery, and this was greatly successful, however cancer was found in my lymph node, which was removed, but has resulted in the need for Chemo and Radiation.
The addition of chemo has thrown me a curve ball, as I now require more time off work, and I don't have enough leave to cover that extra time, as well as now needing extensive dental work (they did manage to smash one of my teeth during surgery) as well as existing issues that now need to be addressed before Chemo proceeds.
I will also be needing more help from may family throughout my Chemo treatments, to help with looking after ella, myself and the fur kids, which means more time off work/travel costs for them too, so if I can help lift the burden off them a little by trying to raise some funds to at least cover my medical and dental bills, I would feel so much better! Any help is hugely appreciated xx
