When I was six years old, my mom was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. I don't remember it that much because I was so young, but I know it was really hard for us. Now I am 17, and at the end of last year my mom was diagnosed with it again. This time it is stage four metastatic breast cancer, which has spread to two separate areas.
My mom has been in the hospital 3 times in the last couple of months. The first time she had a blood infection and cellulitis. I am really worried about her. It was so hard when she was in the hospital, I just felt lost.
Her original treatment just wasn't working and so recently they have had to go with a stronger treatment. Apparently the way it is spreading is unusual and rare. The doctors don't really know what is going to work or not. My mom has had a lot of really harsh treatments done in a short amount of time. She has lost a lot of weight and is still feeling extremely weak.
My mom is the kindest, and strongest person I know and she needs to continue to fight this with a plan of action. We think it would be best for her to get second and third opinions, as well as sign up for a plant based diet program called the 12-day McDougall program. We have read stories of other women curing their breast cancer through this program, and I would love for my mom to be one of them too. She has already tried to make big changes in her diet, but through this program she would have access to doctors. We really believe this could help give her the strength to keep fighting.
However, the program cost $3,250 for the 12 day program and a half hour consultation. My mom doesn't have that kind of money. I don't like asking, but I really need my mom to get healthy again. I want to do everything I can to help her fight for her life. If anyone can help me by donating to help raise the money needed I would be extremely grateful.
Our goal is around $3,750. For the program and travel expenses to seek opinions outside of Columbus, since this is such a rare case.
My mom is my best friend, and I just don't want to lose her. Thank you for your support and consideration to help us.
