Hi my name is Candy Luker,
I'm a cancer patient with head,neck and throat cancer.
My cancer is stage 2 and I have received 7 chemo and 38 radiation treatments. Even though I'm finished with treatments I'm dealing with lots of issues from the cancer and chemo radiation has took a toll on my health and body. Before this happened I was a very active working hard. And loving to helping animals in my own rescue world. It was something I enjoyed doing. Now I'm stuck in a recliner unable to much to live a normal life. During the beginning of this to start my treatments they made me have all my teeth removed. Because they said that the straight radiation to my jowl area would leave me unable to have any dental surgery done the rest of my life. I'm unable to eat alot of things the chemo and radiation treatments has left my mouth in sores and my voice is barley. I try my best to eat. But its mostly issues, I can't chew or it's like trying to get down cotton. I have no taste buds. I'm 95 pounds. I'm doing my best right now. I need dentures. This was help me so much. But i dont have the funds to pay for them. I'm on a limited income and I can pay my bills barely. I have to choose between food,dog food or my medicine. And im not going to let my fur babies do without food. My medication and travel to the doctors, ER visits Because my insurance is dead until the 1st of year. To see my primary I have to pay 120.00 a visits. I did this last month and i had to do with out. Plus I have gained medical bills I'm now paying on monthly 125.00.
I have no vehicle so that makes travel harder for me.. I'm not trying to scam anyone or nothing like that.
I have been documenting my whole journey on Facebook with the intention to help anyone going through cancer or caring for someone with cancer. This is hard journey for anyone to go through and without help mentally, emotionally, physically and financially they have no chance if your a normal everyday working blue collar human being.
Cancer doesn't care.. And doctor's are there for the money.
I'm in need of help for dentures so that I can possibly chew food and in hopes it would help me gain weight. Food,travel,medical and medications. Right now Trying my best to regain my strength and health. My family have all gone but What family I do have is not in a shape physically or financially able to help me at no fault of their's. If you can help me I would be very appreciative during this hard journey in my life. All donations will go to getting my dentures, food,medical and medications along with travel expenses. I appreciate any help you maybe able to do.
Support, prayers and just love are blessing to me.
And please follow my journey on Facebook. Much love and prayers ❤️
