Help Emily with her Breast Cancer Survival Story

Here I am, in my 30s, and I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. What?!?! How? Why? What the?!?! This world is full of crazy, absurd and out of this world things that I will never understand ...  and this is one! I have a loooooooong journey ahead of me and I'm mentally preparing for a super sucky 2021! But in all reality,  I wouldn't be able to get through this by myself! I have an amazing bunch of family and friends who will (queue the tears) help carry me along this journey. It's gonna suck, it's gonna be awful and it's gonna get a lot worse before it starts to get better. I am fully aware that I am challenged when it comes to asking for and accepting help. I'm  stubborn and I hate feeling like a burden, but I know I can't do this one by myself. 
The doctor warned me that this is going to be the most expensive expense that I never knew I was going to have to prepare for. Unfortunately my expenses won't just be astronomical medical bills, but also living expenses when I cannot work, travel expenses to bring my mom down from Colorado to help take care of me,  wigs, hair glue, wig caps, and scarves cause I'm expecting to lose my hair... there are so many changes coming my way! I literally have no idea what all I'm going to encounter and researching in advance can only reveal the tip of the iceberg. 
But here WE go, on this journey to get through 2021 quickly and in better health at the end of all this. Thank you so much for supporting me. This is a very overwhelming time and having to worry less about how I will cover these expenses will not not only be a blessing but a little bit of mental calmness.
