Breast cancer & going to cancer's it's butt..again
Doação protegida
Becca was diagnosed with Invasive Adenocarcinoma of the Breast on December 23, 2023. This is her 2nd time with cancer. She was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at age 19, had chemo & radiation. She beat it then and she will beat it again.
Becca underwent surgery for a bilateral mastectomy on January 18th & a port placement on Feb 22nd. She started Chemotherapy on March 1st. She is scheduled to have 6 treatments so this will be a long process for Becca & her husband Chris and their animals.
We are asking for donations for my sister to help ease her financial stress. As many of you know she lives in Darrington, and it is a 45 min drive for her to get to her oncologist in Smokey point and about an hour and 15 mins to get to her appointments in Mt. Vernon. With her two surgeries, chemotherapy appointments, shots she gives herself to help with after chemo, medications & co-pays, gas for appointments and routine maintenance, medical bills are adding up fast.
We just want to ease her mind so maybe she will relax a bit and stop pushing herself to do too much and take a day off of work if she if feeling terrible instead of pushing herself through the day. She is trying to continue to work, feed the animals and keep her life as normal as possible. But we (her family and friends) want her to stay healthy as she works at a family medicine clinic and is around coughs, colds, and the yuck often. We want her to have some comfort in knowing that she can take time off work to recover from treatment without the burden of money. With all she does for the community, I would love to see everyone to come together to show how much she is appreciated. Please help my sister if you can, even if it is just sharing this post.
Thank you so much!
Teresa, family & friends of Becca
