As many of you know, I have been battling breast cancer and ‘til this day I continue to fight. Since mid-July I have been unable to work due to the increase in size, pain and discomfort. It wasn’t until late August that we received the unexpected news. From one appointment to the next, from several scans and biopsies, the diagnosis was stage three breast cancer. I began chemotherapy in late September only to later be admitted to the hospital. Fighting for my life, I was hospitalized for at least a week and then continued on with my chemotherapy sessions.

My reactions to chemotherapy have been extreme and intense. I am doing everything in my power to stay strong and keep my head up high despite all the side effects. As a common side effect, I have become very weak, anemic, high glucose, low potassium and the list continues. Due to my inability to work, I am asking for financial donations and support as I do my best to fight for my life.
