Breanna's Breast Cancer Journey
Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,
“As you get older, you learn tomorrow is never promised”
Do you remember turning 24? You might have recently graduated college, celebrated an engagement, or spent your days dreaming about your future. Your life was just beginning and the sky was the limit. Now imagine if you received news that can turn your world upside down and in a moment’s notice, needing to shift your focus to fight the biggest battle of your life.
Meet Breanna Palumbo! Daughter to Tim Swanson, a 22-year Marine EOD veteran, and Lynnette Swanson, a military spouse for 32 years, and sister to Amanda Swanson.
At just 24-years-old, Breanna received the devastating news that she has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Breanna is about to begin a long and hard road to recovery and needs us now more than ever both financially and emotionally to fight this battle.
Breanna celebrated the marriage to her new husband Anthony in 2020 and recently became a mom to a beautiful baby boy named Luca. Breanna and Anthony met in 2019 through Boulder Crest Foundation, a nonprofit provisioning transformative PTS programs for veterans and first responders where her mother works and her father-in-law had been a board member.
This hurdle will only make them stronger as a family. As an independent, self-sufficient, woman who fights for what she wants, Breanna is ready to do whatever it takes to be there for her newborn son and husband and is extremely grateful for all the support she’s receiving.
Breanna has an incredible team of dedicated doctors who have created extensive treatment plans to help her beat Breast Cancer. In order to have the opportunity to expand her family in the future, her team of doctors have recommended she undergo an egg harvest immediately before she starts her cancer treatment. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause damage to the ovaries. The cost of the egg harvesting process is approx. $18,000 which insurance does not cover.
After the egg harvesting, the next step will be to start chemotherapy. Her team of doctors have suggested 6 rounds of chemotherapy, one round every 2-3 weeks. Following chemotherapy Breanna will undergo surgery and radiation.
Breanna is undeniably a fighter, but knowing you have a strong community and can use the power of your voice makes it a little less daunting and lonely. Anyone who has been through this experience or has known someone who has will understand the uphill battle the Palumbo and Swanson family is about to face and how quickly medical costs can add up for cancer treatment.
Stand with us all and help Breanna fight Breast Cancer. We invite you to donate to Breanna’s Cancer treatment fund which will cover her egg harvest and medical expenses.
She deserves to enjoy all life has to offer in her next chapter of motherhood. Thank you so much for your support and we ask that you please share with your family, friends, community and network.
