Choriocarcinoma
Donation protected
In the beginning I started planning for a nursery. I couldn’t wait to meet my baby. Two sonograms later, the doctors had made a conclusion that I was not in fact pregnant but was having a Molar Pregnancy. This is what happens when abnormal cells and tissue form inside the uterus. The first treatment for this is a D&C, which I had done on Jan. 11th, 2020. The doctors will then monitor your HCG hormone levels to make sure that they go back to zero, meaning the abnormal cells have gone away. In my case, they did not. Those sneaky abnormal cells came back with a vengeance and eventually metastasized into my lungs. This caused me to have cancer of the pelvis and lungs. I had pregnancy Medicaid to cover my visits but now we are having trouble finding insurance so that I can get care. A lot of insurance companies are telling me that since I already have cancer, they won’t insure me. I am in the dark as of now and not sure of what will happen next. If I do not get the chemotherapy that my body needs to heal, I will not make it. I am asking for help because at this point in time I truly need it. I am turning to God to keep me healthy as long as possible so that I can get the treatment I need. Any help is much appreciated. For those who don’t know, I lost my mother to Ovarian Cancer back in 2011 and this all feels too familiar. I am only 26 with so much more life to live. I want to have a family someday and become a teacher as I have always dreamed to do. I hope that I am given that chance.
