I have been breast cancer free for 5+years.

I have the ER+PR+HER- BRCA 2 Mutation Hereditary. I went through Lumpectomy Surgery, Radiation, Radical Hysterectomy Surgery, and landed with Arimidex after switching meds 3 times due to major side effects. Constant Lumpectomy Therapy, biopsy, X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, Mammograms, Bone Scans monitoring. It’s been a long excruciating road.

My surgeon has scheduled me to do a Bilateral Breast Reconstruction Microvascular DIEP Flap. This will lower my risk due to my BRCA 2 Mutation and eliminate prolong life damage to my body.

This extensive 12 hour surgery is very terrifying for me. I will be working with three surgeons, nine team in total. My stay at the hospital will be between 2-5 days. My recovery time at home is 8 weeks.

If you know me you know how hard it is for me to ask for help. I’m at loss, stressed, and filled with so many emotions. I can’t do this alone and need any support. The first 4 weeks is critical. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

My surgery date is 3/22/23. I have the next 5 weeks to put plans into place. I am asking for any help towards expenses from the surgery, so I can focus on my recovery.

Money raised will help pay for out of pocket expenses:

The Sleep Again Pillow System tailored to post-mastectomy care. This is very important to me, as I’m required to lay on my back only for the 2 months. This will tremendously help me ($400+). Purchased!

Amounts received will also go towards many other expense such as; electronic recliner, post-op recovery items, out of pocket costs for the surgery, medications, etc.

Every little bit helps if that means it can make this process even the slightest bit easier for me. I am forever grateful for your support.

Please share. ♥️ Debbie
