Debz Hope 4 Healing

I have an amazing husband, Steve, and two incredible daughters, Kiley and Victoria. These 3 people are the loves of my life. I want to see my daughters marry and have kids. I want to grow old with my husband. I am determined to beat this cancer, so I can.

In May of this crazy COVID year, I was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma - triple negative breast cancer and the BRCA 1 gene mutation. It is the most aggressive breast cancer with the highest rate of recurrence and lowest rate of survival - under conventional treatments. 

Knowing I would not do conventional treatments, I immediately altered my diet, consulted with an integrative doctor and nutritionist, and refused chemotherapy. I began an exhaustive protocol of supplementation and diet related therapy with the goal of healing naturally. 

By early August, nothing had really changed and the known tumor was growing. Under the advice of my oncologist, integrative doctor, and with lots of prayer, I made the decision to have a bilateral mastectomy with lymph node removal. This extensive surgery occurred in August. I again refused chemo and reconstruction. 

Unfortunately, in late September, I found another lump under the arm where the lymph nodes had previously been taken. I went back in for removal of more lymph nodes in early October.

Last week, my lab tests showed an uptick in both cancer markers, despite all the efforts and expense of the last 6 months. 

We do not have any resources left, and I need a more intensive program for healing. That is why I am reaching out for help. 

There is an intensive cancer treatment center in Mexico, with a high rate of success, that I know is the right place for me, but there is little, if any, insurance reimbursement for alternative therapies. 

Here is where you come in. If you are able to donate even $5 to this fundraiser, I would appreciate it so very much. Equally as important, if you would share this campaign with your friends, family, and contacts, it would mean the world to me and my family.

I am ready to fight, I just need the proper tools and resources to do so. Please pray about this, and if you are led to help in any way, please know how much you would be blessing me and my family. We would be eternally grateful.
