Support Rebecca's Battle Against Breast Cancer

Rebecca, the bassist of Multicult, has been diagnosed with a very serious Inflammatory Breast Cancer (HER2 type). It has very rapidly progressed to a Stage III, having already spread to one of her lymph nodes. Last week, she started the first of multiple intensive chemotherapy treatments. It's been a hard week for her, to say the least. These treatments will be followed by mastectomy, radiation, and eventually, reconstructive surgery. The total course, barring any unforeseen complications, is expected to last 12-24 months. 

Someone her age ought not even be thinking of having to deal with something like this, but here we are. This type of cancer typically isn't discovered until it has progressed to Stage III (being an incredibly fast-growing and aggressive type). It will be an enormous battle for her, and I hope whoever reads this will consider lending their support in this fight.

The Tennessee Breast Cancer Screening Program has been tremendously helpful in getting her started on the path to treatment and recovery. That said, the ultimate costs surrounding this fight are still very much in the air. She will not be able to work while undergoing these treatments.

Being confronted with a diagnosis like this is one of the scariest things anyone could ever go through.

Please join in giving your assistance if you can, and keep her in your hearts and minds as she goes through this incredibly difficult time. 

She's an amazing bassist (the best I've ever known), a thoughtful friend, and beloved by many. With everyone's help, she will see you on the other side of this, stronger than ever. Thank you for reading.
