Help me live out my bucketlist
Donation protected
Hi everyone my name is Ashley and I am 21 years old. As difficult as it is to say and accept, it is apparent and increasingly likely that cancer will take my life. Ewings sarcoma is a rare pediatric cancer that grows inside bones and soft tissue. It usually has good outcomes and high curative percentages when found early. I thought that I was going to have a year worth of treatment and never have to worry about it again and get to live a full life. Unfortunately my cancer has been extremely aggressive. I went through initial treatment and as hard as it was I reached remission. Only two months following the news of remission I found out I relapsed. The news was not good and I was given a year to live. At that point in time though I had so many options for treatment and it felt like even though the diagnosis looked grim that something would work and I’d end up having at least more time than they told me I did. Now after trying multiple different treatment options my cancer has not responded to anything we’ve thrown at it. My doctor said I likely only have a few months remaining unless we can find something to slow it down but with all the standard treatments not having any affect it’s not looking very promising. There is so much I want to do still in my life. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to get married, take a honeymoon, and go on a wonderful trip to Greece and for that I thank my friends, family and strangers who helped support me. There are so many things that I want to check off my bucketlist still and while my husband and disability checks pay the bills it does not leave me with much to do these other things. I’ve asked everyone for a lot of help and I know that money is tight for everyone now with things getting so expensive but I figured that I’d just keep this open for anyone who may have an extra dollar to spare that I could put toward my bucketlist.
