Help Jamie's Fight Against Breast Cancer

Donation protected
My name is Danielle, and I am writing this Go Fund Me, on behalf of my Aunt- Jamie-Lee Wagner.

“You have Breast Cancer…” words my Aunt Jamie never thought she would ever hear. She wasn’t given a choice, no one asked if she had time to fit all this into her already busy schedule. It wasn’t an option; it was a “this is what’s happening and how we are going to attack it.” Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care if you’re a wife. It doesn’t even care if you’re a mother to two young girls. It doesn’t care if you have family and friends that care deeply about you. Cancer doesn’t care if you’re already spread so thin with every day life.

On March 21st of this year, my aunt was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma also known as breast cancer. And from that day, she has been so incredibly strong and positive. She has not, and I’m confident that she will never, allow having cancer be an excuse to do less and be defeated.

Exactly two months later, on May 21st— she started her 4 hour long chemotherapy journey. This is very strenuous, not just for her— but also her two young girls and her husband. Jamie is so passionate about instilling strength in her girls that later the same night of her first chemo treatment, she went to her daughter’s softball/tball games. If that doesn’t show strength I don’t know what does!

Unfortunately this is just the beginning, Jamie will have to do four 4 hour sessions every other week. Followed by 12 weekly chemotherapy sessions. After that, they will attempt to a partial mastectomy and test her lymph nodes to ensure it hasn’t spread to them.

To top off this already unpleasant experience, Jamie’s port for chemo was almost completely healed and then became infected. This has put her chemo on hold which isn’t the best scenario and she’s been in the hospital fighting this infection since.

This GoFundMe will go towards the following:
1. Medical expenses- as this is a very expensive journey- and insurance will not cover everything.
2. Travel expenses- going to and from appointments and treatments.
3. Any time that Jamie may have to miss from work to rest and heal due to the nature/side effects of her chemotherapy.
4. Navigate any unforeseen expenses that may arise.

I’m asking for your help to help assist Jamie through the hardest battle she will ever have to fight. She isn’t just fighting for herself- she’s fighting for all who love her, especially her daughters. Jamie is not one to EVER ask for help. She will struggle behind closed doors and still show up with a smile on her face and grace in her heart. We completely understand if you may not be able to donate monetarily. A simple prayer can move mountains. A share on social media, can spread awareness. Every little thing helps and is appreciated as this is not an easy journey to navigate.
