Hi! I never thought I’d be asking for help, but here I am. Last September 2024, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer stage 3. I felt that standard care would be too strong for my body so I researched integrative clinics across the country and decided on one in Florida. My treatments included IPT (insulin potentiation therapy) which is low dose (25%) chemo, herbal IV’s, off label pharmaceuticals, and more. The cancer shrunk significantly in 3 months! At the same time, I was suffering from anemia and I had a growth on my ovary that the doctors were watching via ultrasound. But because I’m BRCA2 positive I had a high risk it could turn into ovarian cancer. Since the breast cancer was smaller and stable it was advised I have a total hysterectomy with ovary removal. I agreed. I had the surgery in May 2025. I had to stop some cancer treatments at that time and let my body heal and recover from such a major surgery.

After the hysterectomy I was ready to go home to my family in Michigan and continue healing. I was put on an oral chemo pill that I did not do well on. My body was inflamed and stressed from the hysterectomy and the breast tumor started growing.

I met with multiple doctors in Michigan and I was not a candidate for a mastectomy, according to them. They wanted me to have standard Chemo first in order to get approved for mastectomy. I agreed. I had one dose of standard chemo which was a combination of 2 chemo drugs and 1 immunotherapy. I had a very bad allergic reaction. I had hives, rashes, fever, and chemical burns. To prevent me from going into anaphylactic shock they put me on allergy meds, pain meds, and antibiotics. They wanted to put me on forever steroids and allergy meds so I could continue with their treatment regime. I declined and never went back. I was in bed for weeks. I also developed neuropathy on my right hand just from that one dose of standard chemo! That is when I decided to move back to Florida and receive the cancer treatment that worked so well for my body previously.

But this treatment I am receiving is not covered by insurance.
I am asking for your help, if you are able to donate to help me continue the care I need I would greatly appreciate it!

Your support means so much! I am thankful for all my family and friends who have helped me and supported me this far! Thank you for taking the time to read my story! I appreciate all the well wishes prayers too!
