Help a Dedicated Mother Battle Breast Cancer

Hello…. I’m 38 years young and have one amazing and smart 12-year-old boy. I have tried to raise him, with my family's help, to become the best human he could possibly be. I’m so proud of him, he plays 2 instruments in band, is in honors classes, and is going for his second degree in black belt.

I have recently been diagnosed with stage 4, triple negative breast cancer so it’s growing at a rapid pace and the doctors need to act fast. I have had to see lots of doctors and do a lot of tests, even surgery, before I can start chemo, so I had to miss out on a lot of work lately and bills still keep coming. Insurance only pays a certain percentage and it’s already been really hard to pay my medical bills and I don’t even know how I’m going to fight this if I can’t afford it. This has been the most terrifying situation in my whole life. My life will never be the same again, ever, and I’m so scared of what the future has for me. Right now I have to fight to stay alive and sometimes I don’t even know if I have the strength. I’m going to go through the toughest battle of my life.

If I’m not at the doctors, on the phone, taking care of my son, or at work all I do is cry. I’m scared of leaving him. I’m trying so hard to be strong, but it’s not getting any easier. Any help would be so appreciated, please. Bless everyone.
