Aid a Family Facing Cervical Cancer Challenges

Unfortunately so many others have a similar story and even with all of our technology supposedly there is no cure for cancer?

This is my story.

Looking back i suppose i should have known something wasn't right but im stubborn, hate going to the doctor (especially a ladies doctor), and never thought it would happen to me.

In March of 2023 we lost our baby by miscarriage. It was a suprise change your life pregnancy as i was 41 and thought we were done having kiddos. As the shock and worry wore off my husband and i became excited to have another little one running around but a few weeks after our first OBGYN appointment I felt like something was wrong so I rushed to see my doctor to find out our little one no longer had a heart beat, we were crushed. I was sent home to go through the motions of passing the fetus and tissue. I was sad and I took it a lot harder then I thought I would, probably ate to much and im sure my hormones were wacky for a bit. I ended up gaining about 35lbs. which didnt help my depression or sadness. Soon I snapped out of it and tried eveything to lose the weight, I mean everything. Nothing worked. I discovered Metformin and heard that it is great for weight loss so I tried it. Took it as directed and soon began to bleed pretty heavily off and on (mind you i have always had regular periods) I asked my perscriber if this was normal and got no clear answer, after days of bleeding with no answer as to why I took myself off of Metformin. I hoped the bleeding would stop but it only got worse and went on for about 3 weeks more until I was bleeding so much that I passed out on my bathroom floor and when I woke up my husband rushed me to the ER. After tests and exams I got the news, "you have cervical cancer". Something in me knew already but I never thought it would happen to me (I know errogance, right?). Our kids were attending there 2nd day of school and my husband had to tell them I was sick and wouldn't be coming home that night, I can only imagine what was going on in their minds. After having a CT scan i now know i also have 3 large masses on my Lymph Nodes and a small spot on my lung. I'm scared of all the unknown and what's next. All I do know is right now I can't be the super mom or wife I always strive to be. I know that our goal to buy a home will be put on hold for a long time, I know bills will eventually not get paid, I know we will run out of time to take off of work,medical bills will start piling up, the thought of death runs through my mind, and the feeling that my future is no longer in my control. I'm scared for so many reasons so I'm swallowing my pride and asking for help. Anything helps. If you can't donate please pray for not only me but my family.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read my story, I pray that you and yours have a beautiful day.

Update as of 3/7/25.

I had my PET scan and hoped for the best news of No More Cancer. I didn't get that answer instead I got the news that 2 new areas are suspected of cancer. I had the larger one removed and I am in A lot of pain. No pain med is touching it. I'm not sure how long I'll be down, a lot of tissue was taken. We are not sure that it is cancer until the biopsy results come back. If it is I will be getting direct radiation. No fun. My medical bills are stacking up and I'm paying on them as much as I can. Ordering food for my family gets costly. All of your donations are truly a blessing. Thank you. Please keel prayers going guys. ❤️

Update 3/10/25

The mass that was removed came back cancer. I am emotionally and physically drained. I will start the fight again in a few weeks.. as soon as I'm healed from surgery. Please keep me and my family in your prayers. I may be tired but I'm putting my fighting gloves back on and fighting until I win. ❤️
