Help Lauren Platt fight metastatic breast cancer
Donation protected
My name is Lauren, I have struggled with Metastatic Breast Cancer for the last three years. Recently, my cancer has spread to my adrenal glands, liver, pancreas, lungs, and my right kidney. In the middle of March, I had to go to the ER for pain in my back, I was hardly moving. During that time while waiting, I got a CT scan done. They found a blockage in my right kidney so I had to get a small procedure done which was to put a stent in and drain the blockage. It was an interesting experience. Then after a couple weeks of finally getting an okay to start chemotherapy, I was happy to get this journey started to get rid of this disease.
I take daily oral pills at home instead of going to the cancer center. It's been kicking me real hard. I've been working very hard to beat this disease to be there for my two children, Ivan (7) and Lana (4). I haven't been able to be there for them or have them in my care for a few weeks now because of the affects of the chemo, vomiting all day which I can't even keep my pills down. I'm dizzy and lethargic to the point where I can't walk right and can't drive a car. I am currently living with my family so it has been helpful. It is not fun having to keep fighting this disease for quite some time. I really hate having to watch my kids see me go through it. I have the strength and courage to fight this!
I'm asking for your help to insure that my hospital bills, personal bills and trips down state are covered. I have been behind on my bills for quite some time now and it has been very stressful getting these reminders everyday. With your consideration of donating to this cause, you are helping me unconditionally and your help goes unnoticed. I appreciate everyone's love, prayers and help!
Love, Lauren
