Single Mom of two fighting stage 4 cancer
Donation protected
I am a single mother with stage 4 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I have been fighting this disease since my diagnosis at stage 2 in 2011.
Most recently I have experienced unexplained weight loss of 18٪ in a month. I have a follow up with my oncologist next week to find out why.
Neither of my PCs thoughts on the topic are encouraging but I don't want to worry about what-ifs.
I am unable to work and disability makes a dent but doesn't cover monthly expenses. We no longer have a car and don't live anywhere near a busline. Even the cost to get to a grocery store can be prohibitive.
I am alone with my two amazing kids, Their father is in no way in the picture and they have no one but me so losing this battle is not an option.
I STILL have a lot of fight left in me. Not having any other option is an amazing motivator. I believe we can beat this if I can raise enough money to pay the daily expenses and get me through the next rounds of treatment.
I am being treated at MD Anderson in Mesa AZ by Dr. Javier Munoz.
I am currently taking two daily oral chemos, medications to help reduce the side-effects of those, getting blood and platelet transfusions as needed and recieving intravenous chemo cocktails as they are needed and tolerated.
If you have any questions please ask and I will get you the information as quickly as possible.
I will be asking for someone to help me with this campaign but for the time being it's just me.
Any money's collected will go toward
Food
Rent
Electricity
Transportation
School expenses for the kids
All as needed, by priority. Should there be any surplus, I'd like to try to get a car of our own.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
