Help Ease the Medical Costs of Lu’s Cancer Battle

Hi friends!☺️ On May 9th of the this year, I was initially diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, as a very large, malignant mass was found beside my pancreas, in between many vital organs. My diagnosis came after many months of me feeling sick to my stomach for no reason and having absolutely no energy most all of the time.
After that, everything has moved quite fast. Since then, I received a very large surgery, called the Whipple procedure, which removed part of my pancreas, my gallbladder, and part of my intestines. Luckily all of my stomach was spared. The recovery has been very slow and painful, but I feel very positively that everything will be okay. Obviously, however, this will have effects on me for the rest of my life.
Due to the area of the tumor, it has been very difficult to exactly pin down the origins of the cancer I have. What was originally determined to be pancreatic in origin has now been updated to be testicular in origin (stage 4 metastatic testicular cancer spread to the pancreas), which could possibly mean more surgery or, more than likely, some rounds of chemotherapy to kill all of the cancer cells in my body. I feel totally strong enough and positive enough to do all of this, so please don’t worry about me! Beating this cancer is definitely what is going to happen!
The one part of this process I am finding a bit difficult to defeat is the cost of all of the medical bills. If you could spare any money to donate to me that would be incredible! If you can’t now I totally understand, but if you’d be kind enough to share it far and wide to others who possibly could, that would mean the world to me!
Love y’all!
