Help during my cancer treatment.
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Sarah and I was diagnosed with metastasic breast cancer and boy has it been a rollercoaster of a journey. I had a double mastectomy with lymph node removal back in June. At the time I was told it was stage 4 and 5-7 year survival rate. The most devastating news ever. But with the most amazing doctor, Dr. Wei Bai at Mission hope cancer center, she referred me for a second opinion with doctors at Stanford. They felt comfortable treating me aggressively for stage 3. Unfortunately the only way to be certain is time. If I live longer than 5-7 years, SUCCESS. So I have started chemotherapy. I've had 2 treatments and have 2 or 3 more. It is very painful and very taxing on my body. It is as if my bones are being poked with millions of needles, very painful. I am the main financial provider in my house. Because I work part time I don't qualify for disability. I have the most amazing husband, he unfortunately has his own health issues and can only work limited hours. I also have three of the best daughters a mother could ask for. I really need help getting through the next few months with rent and bills. Thank you so much for your time and reading my story
