Tanecca's Battle Against Cancer

Hi,

          My name is Crameisha Mitchell and on 02/10/16 my friend Tanecca Peters was diagnosed with breast cancer. After having a mammogram with up to 6 tumors being found in her left breast. A biopsy confirmed that they were cancerous. On 03/28/16 she had a partial mastectomy removing the left breast and the beginning process of breast reconstruction surgery where a breast filler and expander were inserted. Cancer was also found in one lymph node under her arm resulting in the need for chemo and radiation, which stopped further treatment for the reconstruction cancer treatment plan. She’s in stage 3 of her cancer. She has to go through 20 weeks of chemo. The first 8 weeks biweekly and the last 12 weeks weekly. On 04/13 an insertion into her chest that placed a catheter into her jugular vein.  She started chemo on 04/20. Soon after chemo began she lost her hair. She just completed week 11. After chemo, radiation will be 5 days a week for 6-7 weeks. Hopefully after radiation she can restart the breast reconstruction process which will be 6 months after all this is over. Tanecca will have to inject herself with shots and take pills for the next five years. 
 

      Tanecca is a 35 year old single mom of two boys and she has been struggling to provide for them because she’s not receiving any income. She applied for disability in April and she has yet to hear back from them with a decision. Tanecca has been a good friend to me for over 10 years and she has shown me just how strong she is throughout this entire process. She’s always been a caring and giving person. Even with everything she’s going through she still makes time to check on me and ask me how I’m doing. Tanecca is a brave woman but everyone needs help at some point and time and now she’s in need.  I am asking that you give whatever you can to help my friend provide for her kids and get back and forth to her appointments during this time of need.
