On September 5th, 2018 my life changed forever. Thought I would be going to work but instead ended up being taken to 3 different hospitals, 2 by ambulance and the last hospital was 2 hours away from my home.
All of the test confirmed I had a rare form of head and neck cancer called, Plasma Cytoma. As of the 5th of September I was placed on medical leave.
Due to the nature of my cancer and the symptoms it was causing, my oncologist told me that we had to start treatment as soon as possible and to be aggressive. They even started my treatment of radiation before they did a pet scan or bone marrow test.
I'm having 28 radiation treatments, I go 5 days a week and am on high dosage of steroids at this time. I am hoping the radiation will shrink this tumor but right now it is just a waiting game. My oncologist told me that I may have to do chemo and or surgery.
Radiation causes me to tire out easily and just the symptoms that this cancer causes limits me on what I can do.
I am single and only had one income, so now not only do I have cancer to deal with I now worry about how I will pay the medical bills that are already coming in and will continue to come along with my daily living expenses and making sure I can keep my health insurance.
For this reason I am starting a go fund me page and asking if you can to please donate, any amount will help. This money will help me pay medical bills and daily living expenses.
Thank you so much for your prayers, generosity, and for sharing my story.
