Help My Mom Fight Aggressive Breast Cancer
Donation protected
My mom was recently diagnosed with “Invasive Ductal Carcinoma”This is a very aggressive type of breast cancer, she also is a 3/3 for Her 2+, which is a human epidermal growth factor. Receptor 2, which means in addition to chemo of Taxoteve , Carvoplatin , she will need 2 medications named Herceptin and Perjeta which are antibodies to fight against HER2+ which slows down the aggressiveness of this type of cancer. She will have approximately 8months of chemo treatments and each treatment will last 6-7hours. These 4 medications are all very expensive, 1 of them alone is almost $70,000. This is all devastating for my mom + us 3 children.
This is definitely something my mom will have an extremely hard time paying especially being on social security disability. We are devastated by this, and have no way financially to endure these costs and help her in this time of need. The American Cancer Society cannot help with free or discounted housing due to her not living outside of Monroe county and she is close to treatment facilities.
In addition to co pays, expensive life saving medications, gas, food, and other normal living costs, it will be nearly impossible without help. She will need surgery and radiation after the chemo treatments.
My mom is the most caring and kind hearted person I know, she doesn’t deserve what this life has put her through. Not only did we almost lose her in 2021 due to Covid in the ICU on 80% oxygen, but now she has to fight again. Please if you can, take the time to donate to my mom so she can get her treatments and fight this horrible disease. If you cannot, please Share
Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for your prayers and donations.
