Support Hillary’s Life Saving Measures VS Metastatic Cancer

I think it’s a good time to share some things. I don’t know where to start, so I’ll rewind the clock.

For those of you that do or don’t know Hillary’s story, one day back in the summer of '21, she had a small bump on her breast that wouldn’t go away. After many appointments and tests, she was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma (in layman’s terms: breast cancer) at the age of 29. It was scary, it was emotional, it was unbelievable. There wasn’t a reason for it happening; her genetic test came back negative, and it did not run in her family. After attending countless doctor’s appointments for a treatment plan, she went through a successful surgery that included a lumpectomy and lymph node dissection. The lymph nodes were tested, a few came back positive for a faint trace of cancer, so the decision was made to follow through with chemotherapy and local radiation of the area over the next few months. Around February of '22, the treatment plan was completed, and the plan was a somewhat normal life with frequent checkups with the oncologist.

Fast forward to May '25, we’ve since got married. The doctors told us we would never have children after her treatments, but we proved that to be a lie after having our miracle baby, Alexander. I started a new career to spend more time with my family.

Life is going too good, UNTIL IT ISN’T.
In May, she felt a little bump in her neck, so we had to get it checked. After a PET scan, the neck came back showing nothing, but a mass showed up in her lungs. A biopsy showed the mass coming back negative for malignancy, but the lymph nodes came back positive. Further testing results in her now being diagnosed with stage 4 triple negative metastatic breast cancer. That came with the statement of it can’t be cured, only treated.
She immediately started oral chemotherapy and we will be heading to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston next week to seek more information and possible treatments.

Now we are back to today. She has had a severe headache, along with intense nausea for days. After a visit to the oncologist this morning, it was decided that we needed to get to the hospital for fluids, bloodwork, and some scans of her head. As we lay in the hospital bed crying together, reading the MRI report that shows metastatic lesions in her brain. Scared doesn’t begin to scrape the surface of what we are feeling. Every feeling you can think of is rushing over us. She is my wife, my child's mother, my absolute best friend in the world, my sunshine on the darkest days and shares the title of my everything with our baby boy.

❤️Prayers, thoughts, good vibes, best wishes, or all of the above, we are looking for a miracle ❤️

Any share of her story or any amount of money, is going to help. All of it will help to alleviate her financial burden for traveling to doctors, medical bills, and the likely case of not working.
Not worrying about anything financial, is one less thing for her to worry about through these trying times.

We can’t begin to thank you enough ❤️
