Kristy bullen's Breast Cancer Fight

Donation protected
Life can change in  flash without warning for a person and yes this did happen to Kristy. At 38 years old life was running along pretty well after some life bumps along the way, finally on the road to looking good when a small bug bite from work had her scratching. While scratching she discovered a lump in her breast and asked me where to get it checked out at, of course I said go to the breastscreen bus but as she was under 40 and could not possibly have breast cancer at her age they wouldn't do it. So off to the doctors she went and was sent  for an ultrasound. That's when everything changed, rushed in to have her breast removed and then to receive the news that at 38 yes she has a form of breast cancer with 3 lumps in the removed breast and also in the lymph nodes that were removed. Like many of us not expecting a bump in the road like this have never saved for the just in case I get breast cancer I'd better have thousands of dollars put away. Living in a small country town hours away from treatment and the cost of running back and forth not to mention weeks before Christmas has now got kristy unable to pay bills and car rego due in January. Living hours away means kristy needs the car to get to tamworth and Newcastle for tests and treatment thatvwill last at least 6 months and the already constant trips have eaten into what little saving she had. I know kristy has a huge friend base so let's give some help to someone who WILL NOT ask for it and will do it all by herself, every dollar counts when your savings is gone and can't work due treatment. UPDATE Kristy will undergo 25 weeks of chemo and has had a port put in. She is hoping she is one of the lucky ones who do not get sick as she needs to keep working while undergoing chemo to keep getting an income not having a husband or partner to help with Bill's etc it is all up to her. After chemo she will have 5 weeks of radiation where she can not work as she will need to be in tamworth for a whole week at a time and will most likely be out of holiday and sick pay by then. After that she may then have to have surgery to remove her ovaries as her type of bc loves estrogen so even if she did want kids it will be a definate no after this year. The bigger stress for her is financial stress and the constant worry about paying for things, she needs to be concentrating on getting through this so let's get this going and help her get through this.
