On January 19, 2022.. I have been beyond blessed to have been given the biggest opportunity of a lifetime to go be a patient in the Top Cancer Institute in the Nation, MD Anderson of Houston, Tx. Battling a Stage 4 Cancer that is still progressing on us is calling for us to go where there are some of the top procedures, transplants, transfusions, treatments, clinical trials etc that could stop this evil cancer in its tracks!

What some don't know, My insurance does not cover anything out of state- so I'm facing this journey in Texas , Self Pay. I want to face this journey hopeful, high spirited, positive, and eyes opened. Not worried about bills at home, expenses in Texas, the amounts each procedure, etc.. but rather focus everyday on getting my body stronger and continuing to fight Cancer.. I'm truly going to be in the best of hands and the highest chances are there with them. 

Now I lean on everyone to carry me and to make this the best chapter of this journey yet, as hopefully this will be the final chapter for me..

Every donation means the absolute world to me, and is such a blessing ❤ I hope to one day share more of my story and be an inspiration to those fighting cancer. All Cancer Matters, and no matter the outcome - We are all WARRIORS.

Big hugs to you all!

Since Aug 15 , I carried a Stage 3c Cancer, Nodular Malignant Melanoma Skin Cancer, that had then spread to my Lymph nodes. I underwent a very big surgery, We had created a plan of treatment, What more could happen?? We sent the cancer mass removed to be tested for a "metastasis" cancer (showing it was VERY AGGRESSIVE, And FAST moving) and it came back Positive.. Devastation was real but I then assured myself Chemical Therapy has come a long way and I would be okay. I had rough days , the Why me Days, and sometimes days that were normal. So many tests , so many fears, but so many just anxious feelings awaiting the big day..

Then today .. My life changed forever ❤

With the most saddened heart I make this post to share that my cancer has spread to the bones and is in the bloodstream now. On my PET scan, It is in my chest cavity and was also found on the base of my spine, right pelvic bone.. When there is a high affected area (on chest) and then a large clear space to another affected area (all the way at base of body) , It is proof the cancer is in the bloodstream.. We are faced with sometimes decisions that are hard. How HARD we want to attack this. Sometimes it's about QUALITY of life rather than QUANTITY. I am no longer in a fight or battle.. I'm in a full blown WAR! We now are doing 2 treatments at once , which is TWICE as hard on the body and TWICE the risks of long term effects.. We are also looking at doing Radiation.. Today I denied doing biopsies of the lit up regions.. We KNOW it's cancer.. My heart has been through enough hurt.. I don't want a needle in my chest , nor the other region and I don't want to know anything more in depth about this cancer.. I am now a Stage 4.. What I can assure each and ever person is that my fight became a HELL of a lot harder but I must fight with all of my being for as long as I can, for as long as it takes. If worst case scenario takes place and treatment creates no improvement, I'll be looking for a bone marrow match! I feel very broken.. But I have to be positive. I love each and every one of you!! And again- Please keep lifting my name to the heavens Even though at times i feel he doesn't hear me or no prayers are working because there has been pure devastation each meet, I keep singing to him and believing in him because he is the true healer ! I said it would be a year but I have the hardest of cancers to fight so As of now it's "However long it takes".. I will end this by saying When fighting a Multi spread of Cancer, There is a 40 percent chance I will hit Remission. I want to be in that 40.. And my dream is to stand through this storm and represent that 40 percent and dedicate my cancer fight to those that weren't so lucky. My dream is to be a part of St. Jude once my battle is over and be an inspiration to all the families and young kids that i was the one that had limited chances, but im here! And they can beat all odds too!!! My cancer has "boxed in" my vital organs, and Cancer of the bone/ blood is the toughest and "slowest" to heal so it takes a true Warrior to carry on. And that's my goal ❤

The love you all show me has been phenomenal, and even though me and cancer are complete enemies , Cancer has brought alot of good into my life, Sometimes Cancer can be a beautiful thing. I can't thank everyone in person but know my life sure would be lost without all of you in it!
