Fight with Michelle McCarthy

Michelle was diagnosed originally with Breast Cancer in 2014. She underwent a double mastectomy, had lymph nodes removed, reconstructive surgery, eight rounds of chemo, lymphedema and then a preventative hysterectomy to reduce her chances of the cancer coming back. Two years later, it recurred in a small spot under her arm and she had surgery to remove the spot and then followed up with localized radiation. Now it’s back again under her arm and a few small spots on her liver. It’s considered stage IV metastatic breast cancer.

This time, since she has done everything the doctors have advised her to do and the cancer keeps recurring she has decided to go with the alternative medicine route first before bombarding her body with chemo, surgery and radiation once again. Unfortunately, alternative therapies are VERY expensive and medical insurance does not help cover the costs in any way. Please consider donating to help ease the burden financially during this challenging and stressful time for Michelle and her family.

Michelle is such a beacon of positivity and light to others, especially her three girls. Her focus, courage and willingness to try all routes to getting better and beating cancer is such an inspiration to those around her. Let's show our support to this wonderful person.  Love you, Shell!
