Angela is a kind and very generous soul. She gives unconditionally to everyone she encounters. Even if all she has is a smile or a hug, she is always willing to give.
As many of you know, Angela was diagnosed with breast cancer(invasive ductal carcinoma) in October 2015. She immediately went in for a lumpectomy in November 2015, started numerous chemo treatments and radiation. This treatment was just not enough to fight this awful cancer. Angela went though genetic testing and all came back negative.( Her paternal grandmother had breast cancer) Through all the appointments she has kept a positive and fighting outlook, always with a smile on her face , even through the pain. Thankfully, she has worked for Kaiser for many years and had a great benefit plan to help with the expense of all the surgeries, treatment and medication. Unfortunately this fight is not over - Angela is courageous! The doctors have tried numerous mixtures of chemo, just not the right one for Angela's needs -YET! When this journey started we were so hopeful that she would be in full remission within 6 months, not the case. She has been fighting this battle going on 15 months. With all the surgeries, chemo, radiation and medication thankfully covered by her insurance.
Angela and Kevin have been able to skimp by with disability insurance and social security for family needs. Angela's parents have so generously been able to cover the mortgage on the house.
In November 2016, while still needing chemo treatments and medication,(and family coverage) Angela's Kaiser insurance was discontinued. After being off work for over a year, this can happen. A huge financial strain to need to purchase Obama care, at a cost of over $800+ a month for the family to have Kaiser again. She is also trying to apply for Oregon Health Plan. Kevin was able to get a part time-call in position with Kaiser , but will not be eligible for benefits until later this year.
The donations for Angela’s family will be used for medical expenses, house expenses and family care.
