Help Alicia crush Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Alicia is the kindest and most helpful caring person. She always goes out of her way to make the people around her feel special. 

Her and her husband Travis have two young daughters. Her youngest is only 2 months old. 

Due to her breastfeeding, she got Mastitis, which wasn't going away with antibiotics. When she went into the doctor for further evaluation of her Mastitis, they noticed abnormalities in her breasts and took biopsies.

On Tuesday 7/21/20, Alicia got the phone call with the results which identified that she has breast cancer which had spread to her lymph nodes. 

On 7/24/20 they saw the doctor who had expressed that they are pretty confident she has stage 2 or 3 cancer. The PET test on Monday will give more definitive answers. They will again meet with the cancer doctor on Tuesday for a more concrete plan once he sees the results of the PET test.

His current tentative plan includes the following:
1. 20 weeks of chemotherapy
2. Surgery at the conclusion of chemotherapy to remove both breasts
3. Radiation at the conclusion of her surgery
4. 10 years of hormone pills

They think the cancer is aggressive and estimate it being about 9 cm long right now. They don’t know for sure, but they’re pretty confident based on the info they have right now.

They started caringbridge site to help keep everyone updated.

This is going to be a long and costly road ahead, and Alicia will have to take a lot of time off of work to fight this. This will be especially difficult with a newborn child and toddler. Any financial support to help them through this difficult time is greatly appreciated.
