Cancer Sucks and It's Expensive

Hi, 

I'm a 35 year old mother of two small little girls (3 and 4) and I was just diagnoised with Small Bowel Cancer.  This cancer is exceedingly rare and normally only strikes those age 60 and older.  

I also have Crohns Disease which ulimately lead my body to develop this cancer. Currently it's Stage IIB T4N0M0.  Which means thankfully it has not hit my lymph nodes.  It is however an agressive type tumor so I'll be on constant watch by my doctors. All of these CT scans, MRIs, chemotherapy treatments etc are VERY expensive even with insurance. 

That aside I cannot believe that I may not live to see my babies turn 10 years old. The 5 year survival rate of this cancer is 39% - 59%.   If you are a mother, you know what I mean, when I can hardly look at my children without imagining life for them, without me. I want to be there to see them graduate school, go to college, get married, have grand children.  

I have to kick this cancers ass.

If you have spare money, and you want to donate that's cool. If not, that's cool too. Just please spread the word about Small Bowel Cancer so that there can be more  research done in all our behalfs.  This cancer is so rare, and it needs more reconition. 

By donating some money you would be lifting some of the finanical burden off our shoulders would be a true blessing. And I appreicate any amount if any you are able to donate.  And your good thoughts and wishes, prayers are also greatly appreicated and welcome.
