I honestly never thought I'd be in a situation like this. I hate asking for help, but I'm at a point now where I can't do it by myself.

In 2024, after I gave birth, I was diagnosed with heart failure. I had 22% of my heart functioning. Peripartum cardiomyopathy and chronic heart failure.

Now, this year, I got the sad news of having been diagnosed with cancer. It started off with a sore throat. Then I found a small lump on my neck. I went in for a biopsy, and they told me it was not cancerous. So we came to the conclusion that it was just a necrotic lymph node, which resulted from an infected wisdom tooth. I had the mass removed and then sent off to pathology, which came back positive for Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

According to my doctor, we don't know where the original tumor/cancer is, but the mass that was removed was a result of it already spreading. they believe it to be in ny throat but arent not positive. Apparently this cancer is highly aggressive so they want to start treatments as soon as possible. They also told me that im a very rare, special case because this cancer usually takes about 15 to 20 years to show up. so they're thinking its way more aggressive in my body than usual ....

I'm starting this because things have gotten so rough financially already, and this is just going to make it so much worse with medical expenses, gas for appointments, etc., and trying to make sure my little one has everything he needs as well.

I hate asking for help. But I'd be so grateful for whatever and whoever could help. 5 dollars 10 dollars. it all adds up.

Thank you so much for your time and help.
