Hola Soy Alheli Rodríguez Hernández, soy amiga, maestra, consultora, hija, hermana, corredora, viajera, sobrina, prima, escritora, vecina, esposa, madre , etc. Soy como tú y te comparto mi historia.

En el 2022, fui diagnosticada con Cáncer de mamá triple negativo etapa II, enfrenté mi enfermedad con un sin número de emociones y siempre acompañada de los cuidados de mi esposo. Después de una cirugía, un catéter puerto, 16 quimioterapia (rojas y blancas) y 31 radiaciones, el cáncer se fue. Comencé a reconstruir mi nueva yo.

En 2023 le toca a mi esposo enfrentar una situación similar, una crisis de divertículos se complica derivando una cirugía de emergencia por peritonitis con choque séptico y cuatro días en terapia intensiva, se recupera. Debido a esto le detectan afortunadamente a tiempo un tumor canceroso en colon que es operado . Derivado de esto desarrolla una hernia que está esperando a ser operada, ya que fueron dos cirugías mayores en muy poco tiempo.

En 2025 me detectan otro cáncer ahora en el ovario izquierdo llamado seroso epitelial peritoneal etapa III. ¡Un reto de salud más! He comenzado con ciclos de quimioterapias cada 21 días, y una vez concluidos me operaré: histerectomia. Continuaré con medicamentos el resto de mi vida, para evitar que el cáncer vuelva.

Si bien, contamos con la fortuna de ser un gran equipo mi esposo y yo, nos cuidamos, tenemos trabajo y seguro médico, este no cubre gastos como: estudios ($1500) , citas medicas ($1500), medicamentos ($2590) algunos solo por reembolso o traslados ($280), gasolina ($500), comida especial ($3000), suplementos ($1850) , terapias ($1700), etc.

Es por ello que pido tu apoyo para lograr la meta económica que nos permitirá cubrir estos gastos y sobrellevar los tratamientos.

Quiero tener una vida que me permita ver la de mi hija de 9 años y disfrutar de ser su mamá.

Además estoy pensando en un proyecto : "Iniciativa Valquirias". Que compartirá donativos a mujeres que tengan alguna situación similar a la mia.

Agradezco que hayas leído mi historia y tu donativo. Recuerda ¡Si tú puedes, yo puedo!

Hi, my name is Alheli Rodríguez Hernández. I am a friend, teacher, consultant, daughter, sister, runner, traveler, niece, cousin, writer, neighbor, wife, mother, and more; I'm just like you, and I want to share my story:

Back In 2022, I was diagnosed with stage II triple-negative breast cancer. I faced my illness filled with mixed emotions but always supported by my husband's care. After two surgeries, a catheter port, 16 chemotherapy sessions (both red and white), and 31 radiations, the cancer supposedly was gone and I began to rebuild my life.

In 2023, my husband faced a similar situation. A diverticulitis crisis became complicated, leading to an emergency peritonitis surgery incurring in a septic shock which leads him to ICU for four days in. He recovered. During a follow up, a cancerous tumor in his colon was detected fortunately in an early stage and it has to be surgically removed. As a result, he developed a hernia which is still pending for surgery.

In 2025, after a follow up study (PET) I was diagnosed with another type of cancer, this time in my left ovary, called “Serous epithelial peritoneal cancer” stage III. Another health challenge! I faced a new surgery and now I've started chemotherapy cycles again, once every 21 days; and as son as they're finished, I'll have a hysterectomy to avoid recurrence. I'll continue under medication for the rest of my life to prevent the cancer from returning.

Even when my husband and I are fortunate to be a great team, taking care of each other, and oth having jobs and health insurance, it doesn't cover expenses like: lab tests ($1500), doctor's appointments ($1500), speciality medications ($2590); some of them are only covered by reimbursement; transportation fees ($280), gas ($500), special food ($3000), supplements ($1850), therapies ($1700), etc.

That's why I'm asking for your support to reach the fundraising goal which will allow us to cover these expenses and manage current and further treatments.

I want a life that allows me to see grow up my 9-year-old daughter and enjoy being her mom.

I'm also thinking about a project: "Valkyries Initiative," which will share donations with women in situations similar to mine.

Thank you for reading my story and for your donation.

Remember, if you can, I can!
