Help Amy Lynn in Her Fight Against Breast Cancer!

Amy Lynn Madalinski has recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. After finding a mass in her left breast, she took the initiative to have it evaluated, unfortunately right before the holidays. An ultrasound and mammogram were performed with no clear answers. A biopsy and MRI were completed, leaving her with the news no one is ever ready to hear, Stage 1 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, HER2+. An aggressive course of chemotherapy will start at the beginning of February, with surgery to follow.

Due to the vigorous nature of the chemo treatment, Amy has been working with a Fertility Clinic in order to ensure her ability to grow her family one day. At this time we are still waiting for more testing (including genetic testing) to help determine whether a mastectomy or lumpectomy will be performed. Following surgery her Oncology team will then re-evaluate and decide what further treatments will be needed.

Amy has a long and tough road ahead of her. This news has taken a toll on her and our family, opening up a lot of emotions. Those who know Amy, know that she is a fighter. She is extremely strong, probably one of the strongest people we know. Cancer will never hold her back, but she will have to take a back seat on life for a bit. Her family is working together to offer her any and all the support we can give.

Since Amy is a flight attendant for American Airlines, she will be unable to work due to the high risk of infection while undergoing treatment. She is determined to beat this - but we know that she could use financial help during the fight. ANY and ALL help is truly appreciated. This fundraiser will help Amy with her prescriptions, fertility treatments, medical bills, rent, food, cost of living, etc.

For every donation, every share, and every heartfelt gesture, we collectively become the army that Amy needs.

Due to the anxiety that comes with news such as this, as well as the need for her to stay focused on her health, we are asking that efforts are made to refrain from contacting Amy via phone, text, messenger, etc.

If you would like to share supportive words, thoughts, insight, gifts outside of posting/making contributions on this page, you can reach out to her sisters Sara Briggs or Laura Madalinski.
