In the beginning of January I found a lump in my breast, it was small and I didn’t think about it too much... mid January it was getting bigger, I called my gynecologist towards the end of the month and she got me in the next morning. I had a mammogram and ultrasound done on 2/1, the radiologist came in to look at the ultrasound and said that it was a tumor and I needed to have a biopsy, ok. Scary, but ok. Scared and nervous, I had a breast biopsy on 2/15... went home celebrated my little boys birthday that weekend. Constantly thinking about the results and then... On February 19th at 8:26am I received the scariest phone call of my life. It was my doctor calling me to tell me the results of my biopsy. She tells me, “I just can’t believe this, Amanda, we are going to get through this, you have cancer” that’s all I heard..... Cancer...... At that moment my entire world seemed to have been flipped upside down. My boys! My boys! All my hopes and dreams shattered... I’m 37??!!! Am I going to die? What stage am I? I had so many questions that I was too scared to ask. I was officially diagnosed with Stage 2 Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (high grade), that spread to lymph nodes. Triple negative breast cancer is a rare, aggressive type of cancer. High grade meaning it was growing fast. Within a couple weeks it had already spread to my lymph nodes. From then everything happened so quickly. More scans, tests and another biopsy. Pretty shitty, but I have the most amazing team of doctors and friends that give me nothing but hope. I have a long journey ahead of me but I am not one to give up. I am a hard working single mother of two wonderful boys. I am a private chef and my season is over. I am uninsured and I have depleted my summer savings to pay for the initial doctors visits, labs, pathology bills, radiology bills, medicines and procedures. The road to recovery is going to be a long journey so I am asking for your help to get me through the next 8 months. My treatment includes 8 biweekly treatments of chemotherapy (which started 3/28) from there I’ll have a double mastectomy and my lymph nodes removed, after recovery I’m scheduled to have radiation therapy. Reaching out for help is hard for me. I am such a independent person who has always been the sole provider for my kids, a self starter and always looking for new clients to cook for. This money will help pay for outstanding and future bills and to get me through the next 8 months to focus on healing and recovering, to spending as much time with my boys and trying to give them as much of a fun summer as I can. Cancer is a tough diagnosis to swallow let alone the financial burden as a single mother.
