Family in Crisis: Stage 4 Cancer Struggle
Donación protegida
I have Stage 4 breast cancer and have been in and out of the hospital the past few months, since August. With that being said, it has been hard to keep up with my rent and bills. I am needing help to pay my rent which is $875, and then I have other bills totaling $370.
To explain a bit more, I got diagnosed in July 2022. At that point it was in my breast, lymph nodes in my right arm pit and lungs. I started chemotherapy in August of 2022 and was on a chemo until November of 2023 when the chemo I was on, was no longer working. I started a new one and was on this one until February 2024. In July 2024, I found out it was only in my breast and right lymph nodes, which allowed me to have a double mastectomy and lymph node removal, which I proceeded to have in August of 2024. Before I was able to start radiation after my surgery, it decided to rear its ugly head again by September 2024, in my chest wall, sternum, left arm pit lymph nodes, right adrenal gland, liver as well as my lungs and skin. Needless to say, it spread and it spread very quickly. This had landed me back in the hospital again for some time to which I started chemo again inpatient. After getting released, a short time later, I developed an infection which caused me to become inpatient again, needing IV medications due my levels dropping and becoming very neutropenic. With all of this being said, there is no way I am able to work which has caused me to fall behind on everything so if anyone is able to help donate anything, it would be greatly appreciated. Even if your only able to share, even that share to others will help spread the word to try and get help too. Thank you everyone in advance.
