Donate & Help Amanda Knock Out Cancer!

Amanda Mihaly is the most loving, caring, devoted person you will ever meet. Her whole life has been devoted to others and there is nothing more important to her than family. As a daughter, she has always made her mother proud. At an early age, she took on the helper role. She is strong and independent, providing a helping hand to her mother and three sisters. As a sister, she has always been a protector, a second mama, and a huge inspiration in all of our lives. As a mother, raising her daughter on her own, she always put her daughter's wants and needs before her own. She made so many sacrifices to make sure her daughter was happy and healthy. Nothing mattered more to her! For years, she successfully played both roles of mother and father until she met the love of her life. She is now a loving mother figure to his children and three beautiful grandchildren, with one on the way! She is the absolute best “Nonnie” in the world. As a partner in life, she makes the perfect mate. Their souls belong together. Each half making the other whole.

Ten days ago, life was going well. Then the phone call came that changed everything. She was diagnosed with a super aggressive form of cancer: Stage IV Triple Negative, Metastatic Breast Cancer. It has already metastasized to her lymph nodes and into her bones. We found out today that it is in her ribs, thoracic spine, both clavicles, shoulders, and blades. We are now awaiting the results of the MRI of her brain and pelvis to find out exactly how much further it has spread.

As you can imagine, our entire family is distraught. We are rallying behind her in every way that we can. We want to show up for her like she has always shown up for us. In full strength, ready to do whatever it takes to see her through this.

Her treatment will be starting within a week or two, and she has multiple appointments scheduled to identify what markers they need to target and how to best treat. We are praying that she will qualify for a new clinical which is in its third phase. Her doctor has already taken her out of work. He is very concerned about how fast everything is moving and time is of the essence. Amanda being Amanda is so worried about how she will continue to pay bills and continue to contribute. She does not want to feel like she is burdening any of us. Right now, she is worrying herself with how all of this is affecting her family and loved ones, how she is going to pay her bills and get the treatment she needs instead of focusing on herself and allowing herself to process it all.

Our family is asking for your support. We need for her to feel like she is not taking anything from us. We need for her to feel like she still has some control. Your donations can help with this. We don’t know how long her treatments will last. What we do know is that she will have cancer for the rest of her life as it is not curable. But it is treatable and that’s what we are choosing to focus on. Once she hits 12 weeks of being out of work, she will lose all of her benefits. She will not have a way to pay bills so we are asking for your help. Please find it in your heart to give back to a person that has given so much. We are and will be eternally grateful for any you can spare. Please share and keep sharing. She means the world to us!
