Staying faithful & Never giving up!
Donation protected
In 2011 at the age of 31 I was told I had stage III breast cancer, I was shocked, confused, and wanted answers to why. I had chemo, radiation, and breast reconstruction. Through faith, family, and friends I was able to beat cancer and continue to live a happy healthy life. I was able to go back to work as a high needs case manager and helping families. I was enjoying being with my family and friends hanging out at the lake, snowboarding, hiking, or just being together at home eating great food and laughing with each other. I have two beautiful 11-year-old girls and a wonderfully supportive significant other that I thoroughly enjoy spending every moment with, whether it's watching them play sporys or listening to them play the piano or guitar and the amazing stories that they like to tell.
Last year in February my tumor markers started to rise and through many tests I found out that the breast cancer had moved into my ovaries and it was stage four. I had no choice but to have both ovaries removed. Throwing me into menopause along with the mental anguish of knowing that I could never conceive another child of my own again. Once again through God, faith, family, and friends i was able to win the fight again and resume my normal positive outlook on life.
A couple months ago I was told again that my tumor markers were on the rise and the doctors didn't know why. I was in need of a microdiscectamy that was totally unrelated to my cancer due to 8 months of sciatic nerve pain. The neurosurgeon asked for an up-to-date MRI after being admitted early due to the severe pain. After looking at the previous MRI they had found breast cancer tumors in my spine. I have had a Brain MRI, spine MRI, CT scans, and bone scan during the last week and was told yesterday that I have stage 4 breast cancer in my bones, it is in several of my vertebrae in my spine, my ribs, my skull, my shoulders, collar bone, and my left femur. This Friday I will have my port put back in and next week I will start chemotherapy again.
The good news is as far as they can tell is not in any of my other organs or my brain.
I have prayed and prayed to be one of those people God chooses for a miricle and doesn't deserve one but receives one anyway. No matter what one's definition of a miricle is I know I have had mine. God chose a most undeserving person when he chose me. He chose me to continue to live, raise my children, be a blessing to others, and share my story of his grace and love even in the scariest of situations.
Human odds are stacked against me but God is greater than all of us and is giving me something no one else can give......time on this earth!!!
I am so grateful for the wondetdul insurance that I have, as it has coverd much of the cost for my treatments over the years, however medical and day-to-day expenses are mounting and I am unable to keep up with them. This is adding more and more stress not only to myself but to those who are taking care of me. I humbly ask for help.
Thank you to my Lord Jesus and my wonderful friends and family.
