Stage 4 Breast Cancer....need help!

Donation protected
This is my story.  My name is Deborah Aiken.   I am  a disable 58 year old, mother of four; grand mother to 10. I  was diagnosis with Breast Cancer April, in 2007.  I had surgery, chemo and radiation  treatments from May 2007 until February 2008.  I was then put on medication for six years for I was having some medical problems. I finished the pills February 2014 and I thought medically everything was good, for I beat the cancer and I survive!!!!  

However,  for years I have dealt with a disability  concerning my spine.  For years I have dealt to have pain on the left side of my back which gave me so much discomfort that the pain would make me feel weak and short of breath.  I went to the doctor thinking that it had something to do with the back surgery that was performed many years ago.  My doctor referred me to a Pain Management for treatment's getting injections in my spine time after time and time after time and no relief so after about a one and half years; I just gave up.  I did not know what else to do but suffer and just live with the agony.  

A week before Thanksgiving 2015, I fell in my home and the pain got worse on my left side.   I  was taking to the hospital but ER could not find anything from the x-rays and was told to follow up with my family doctor. The next day I went to my doctor and he order a bone scan.  When the results came back I was told I was in stage 4 breast cancer,  that the disease had spread to my bones in my back.  

My journey is very hard all I want is LIFE to LIVE . It is so frighten when you worried about the finances that you will need; not just now, but the months to come for treatments.  This sick disease is very serious and cannot to be taken lightly.  I been through this before but now I am older and unemployed, which makes it even scarier.  I have faith that one day there will be a cure; you will be able to just walk into the doctor's office and get a shot to cure the disease.  While that will happen one day, unfortunately that is not the case today.  

 I have never ask for help from anyone in my life.   I believe in helping others because of the good feeling you get; whether it is big or small.  However, today  I am asking for help.  I never dreamed that I would be in such a dark place in my life to ask for financial assistance.  But, I just want to LIVE and be pain free!!   I am disable due of the physical problems that I face everyday and now it is very  hard.   The treatments are so intense and expensive.  I need  help financially with doctor bills and especially with my medicine and the chemo injections.  

I would appreciate whatever you can give.   Thank you and God Bless  each and everyone of you.
