Breast cancer and financial hardship

Hi my name is Autumn. I am 35 years young I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma with her2+ on November 15th, 2023. I have a 17 year old son at home, who is picking up hours to help. I'm raising money to help keep up with the monthly bills, food, pets, and gas to get to appointments. The biopsy was done after a regular routine check on November 15th.

With this being said I am hoping to get enough to go thru this comfortably. I appreciate anything and thank you all.

Update: I go in today for more biopsy on my lymph nodes the MRI caught some things they are wanting to look at.

Update : It has spread to my lymph nodes... getting port put in Tuesday the 19th...

Update: It is not in any other organs. Got my port in today and start chemo very soon.

First round of chemo was January 9th...was very hard on my body. Next round is on January 30th. Any and all donations ho to helping me keep a roof over my head and a vehicle to get to my appointments, food because my diet is very limited. I appreciate any and all donations.

Update 2/20/24 is chemo round 3...half way there.

Update 5/21/24

Been a few months of chemo .... six sessions one every 21 days. Finished chemo 4/30/24

Today I found out not much changed with the tumor ... going to be a double mastectomy. Meet with more drs tomorrow.

We are doing a bilateral mastectomy this month... I'll be having 3 surgeries in the next 6 to seven months. I have appointments each week and I live 50 minutes from the doctor. They are keeping me on her 2+ infusions to keep the cancer from growing and spreading.

6/24/24

Surgery done.....

This has been such an over whelming few weeks... I ended up with infection in right drain tube. None of the drs would listen to me because infection while the tubes are in is. Not common..... so I went to the er. They did no blood work but put me on antibiotics.

Pretty gross ....I know but I'm trying to be as open about my current situation as possible... I need as much help as possible. I'm still 3 months behind on car.... and it's breaking down on me. Please share.

The tumor they pulled was larger then they had thought which they thought it was 2 inches. And still had positive lymphnode..... radiation consult next week....

8/27/24

Had my expanders placed on August 12th... tubes out yesterday.... this has been so hard with chemo and everything going on....I have zero income and now today my engine blew in my 2016 vehicle..... I am begging for help. Anything helps even a dollar from enough people will help me.

Had first fill , the chemo has been causing heart palpitations .... I appreciate everyone who has helped me so far please keep up... I had a guy tell me he would be able to help but then blocked me.... anything helps every dollar adds up. This helps keeps a roof over my head and my sons. It helps feed my animals and ourself, keeps us with food and a phone. Thank you!

Been a little over 2 months.... I had all my fills, still doing chemo every 21 days. When mapping for radiation they had to remove all the fill from the right side. So far this chemo isn't as bad as the first but it does make me ill. My heart has been acting up. I had a heart monitor for 24 hrs and it detected fast rates and double beats in lower chamber. So, they gave another for 55 hours with the same outcome. Start meds for lowering heart rate while bringing up the BP. As of right now I'm doing radiation daily for 28 rounds.... and I found out I have to have a biopsy on my uterus tomorrow. please pray.
