Support Sally's Breast Cancer Battle
Donation protected
Hi all,
I was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. The cancer is invasive and aggressive with a poor prognosis of survival.I am 54 years old with three children, a husband and a family that I love dearly and am desperate to continue living for.
My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and unfortunately did not survive her battle with it, passing away only a few short years ago. She left behind a severely autistic daughter and she is now 14 years old. My mother has also been diagnosed with this disease and while she has proven she is a fighter, it has caused her many ongoing health issues which have made her more dependent on me, her only support network.
I am unable to treat my disease in the recommended, conventional ways as I also have Crohn's disease and am highly allergic to most medications that the average person can tolerate. The option of chemotherapy and radiation is not a viable option for me and as a result I have needed to look into alternative therapies to treat, and hopefully cure ,my cancer. The therapies come at a cost and this is why I have decided to reach out to the wider community as I am currently not in the position to fund them myself.
I am asking for the generosity of strangers to support me in what will be the fight of, and for, my life.
I am not ready to leave my husband, children or family behind. I am not ready to leave my life behind. I am not ready to stop fighting.
In reaching out to you all like this I am putting aside my pride and allowing myself to be completely vulnerable as this, I feel, is a time when I need to ask for help unashamedly and without reservation. Anything you can consider contributing will be appreciated more than you know.
Please share my story as I am desperately in need of any, and all, support.
Eternal thanks,
Sally
