Stage 3 Breast Cancer Treatment

Donation protected
Hello guys. For those who don’t know me, I was raised in the Philippines by my auntie Sylvia “Mommy Sey” who is a sister of my real mom. I call her mommy ever since because I treated her as my mom and she treated me as her own as well. My real mom and my dad were working as an OFW when I was young that is why it was my Mommy Sey who took care of me and my brother. I am really blessed to have her in my life and have a 2nd mother who loves me as much as how a mom loves her daughter. I wouldn’t know how I’ll be able to handle it if I lose her. Recently, she was diagnosed with a stage 3 Breast Cancer. At first she noticed a small lamp on her right breast , she hid that information from everyone. Until this Mid of October, she decided to show it to me randomly on our video call. I freaked out! She didn’t want me to say anything to all of our relatives as she didn’t want to go to the doctor. She was scared to what the Doctor may say or find out. Of course I didn’t listen. That is why, now we found out that she has Stage 3 Breast Cancer, which was already metastasized on her left breast and axillary as well. Because of this, she got Right Mastectomy in order to remove the big tumor on her right breast. But she still has multiple tumors left on her left breast. She undergone a lot of tests already and still needs more tests. She will also be doing chemotherapy as soon as the tests are done and comes up normal. Unfortunately, her heart condition is not also doing well as per her last cardiology check up. She is now taking a lot of medications for her heart to be stable for the preparation of her chemotherapy. Most of my relatives who were helping are currently now in Dubai UAE. And most of them either are out of work already or still working but are only getting 40% of their monthly salary. Mommy Sey still needs a lot of tests in order to be able to start her chemotherapy. After all these, she will be scheduled for chemotherapy, 6 cycles of chemo every 21 days starting December 2020. As per the doctor, chemotherapy costs 18,000 pesos each cycle for the first 3 cycles and 45,000 each cycle for the next 3 cycle. After the 6 cycles, they will evaluate her condition and the need for additional chemo or treatment.These fees does not include the doctors fee, daily medications, follow up check ups and other tests needs to be done. In advance, thank you so much for all your help and prayers. Any amount and prayers is a big help for us and greatly appreciated.
