My name is Maxine Kyeiwaa Sencherey, and I have been fighting cancer for 23 years. Today, I am battling breast cancer which has spread to my lungs, liver, brain, ribs, and pelvis—yet I remain unshaken in my faith in God, my courage, and my belief that He has preserved me to be a beacon of hope and inspiration to others walking this difficult road.

Through the generosity of family and friends, I have been able to undergo countless surgeries, chemotherapy sessions, and treatments that have kept me alive far longer than doctors ever expected. Against all odds, I have lived to celebrate 60 beautiful years of life—a milestone I never take for granted.

My Story of Resilience

• 2002 – I was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive breast cancer in my left breast. I had a lumpectomy after which doctors gave me 5 years to live but by God’s grace I remained in remission for almost 15 years.

• 2017 – The cancer returned, this time in my right breast at stage 4. I faced the devastating decision to undergo a double mastectomy, yet I chose life and pressed on with faith.

• 2019 – Just when I thought I was winning, a new development shook me to my core. The cancer had spread to my lungs, spine, ribs and pelvic bone. I have received hormonal therapy and a cycle of chemotherapy every 21 days since then.

• 2024 – More tests revealed further spread to my liver and, most recently, my brain in 2025. Each blow was heartbreaking, but I refuse to let cancer define me.

Throughout this journey, I have faced the harsh side effects of treatment:

• My hair has fallen out.

• My skin has burned and cracked.

• My bones have ached with relentless pain.

• After every cycle of chemotherapy, I have felt sick, weak, and exhausted.

Yet, through it all, I remain grateful, hopeful, and determined.

But the journey continues. My doctors have recommended that I undergo one chemotherapy session every month for the next five years—a total of 60 cycles—to give me the best chance of reaching my next milestone at age 65. That is why I call this campaign “60 Cycles”—each one a step closer to life, hope, and healing.

Why I Need Your Help

As I begin these next 60 cycles of chemotherapy, I cannot walk this road alone. The financial burden of ongoing treatments, medications, and hospital visits is overwhelming. With your help, I can continue to fight—not just for myself, but for the hope that my story will inspire others who feel like giving up. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to my goal of living, loving, and reaching 65 years and beyond.

If you can, please support my journey. Your kindness will help keep me alive, give me strength for the fight ahead, and remind me that I am not alone.

With love and gratitude,

Maxine Kyeiwaa Sencherey
