Help me beat cancer a third time
Donation protected
My name is Nicole Thompson, I am here asking the public for help to beat cancer a third time. Here how it all began.
June 10, 2014 I was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma (cancer in my uterus), after hearing about the type of cancer the doctor had decided to do a complete hysterectomy ( complete removal of my uterus), because the cancer started to spread along my uterus which leads to an emergency surgery eight days later. Six weeks after my surgery I started chemo (5weeks) and radiation (8 weeks) treatment both ran concurrently. After my treatment I stayed home for 5 weeks, then I did a PET/CT SCAN and the results came back clean. With such great news I went back to my normal living.
Second Recurrence:
In 2018 I went for a regular check up with my radiation doctor, while he was examining me he felt a lymph node in my grind area, with such findings he sent me to do a small needle biopsy, the result from that test came back in conclusive. With that results it led them to removed the lymph node and did further testing on it. To my surprised the result from lymph node testing came back cancerous, with that I had to do extensive chemo therapy. After my chemo treatment I went back to work at Bank of Nova Scotia, however I was taken from frontline duties and placed on light duties. While working at Scotia Bank I got the opportunity to go and study in Canada.
In 2020 I obtained my student visa and summer of that year In the peak of covid 19 i arrived in Canada. I went to study at Humber College where I attained a Post Graduate Certificate in Project Management. While studying I was working part time. In 2022 I decided to take a course in the health care field, which leads me to complete a certificate in Personal Support Worker (PSW). Shortly after my completion in January 2023, I stared to feel pain in my lower pelvic area, the started out very mild then as the months goes by it progress which led me not to work. Base on the fact that I am an a student visa , I am not covered by the health care system here. With all the money that I had saved went into my bills and medications. On August 23 I went to the emergency room they did some tests and they realized my red blood cells was very low, with such findings I was admitted. After my admission I was given blood transfusion and more tests were done. The result from the tests showed a tumor in my in my bladder, also kidney failure. Since then I have been in the hospital doing numerous tests.
The reason for my plea am here by myself without family, therefore I don't have the financial help to cover my medical and other expenses.As a result I am seeking your help to help with your expenses. Any amount that you are able to contribute at this time will help me to curtail the spread of the cancer. Please help save my life.
