Help Nikki Overcome Her Cancer Journey

Family and friends, as some of you may know I was diagnosed with breast cancer back in December. Being diagnosed with this was very shocking to me, I was mentally devastated and in denial. After finding a lump I waited at least a couple months before going to the doctor. After contemplating for a couple months and knowing breast cancer runs in both sides of my family I then decided to go get checked. Leading up to this diagnosis there were several tests that had to be done such as mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies, MRIs and routine checkups. After they had found the breast cancer I was scheduled to have surgery done which consisted of a double mastectomy with breast reconstruction. I had the mastectomy done back in March which was a tough surgery to get through, I was in quite a bit of pain physically and mentally but managed to pull through. After that surgery was done I had a few physical therapy sessions to get my arm mobility and strength back, I am still struggling a bit with my strength as of today. Coming up in June I will get my next surgery where they will finish up with the reconstruction side of things. As you all know going for doctors visits and having surgery can be very expensive so I am asking for your help. I don’t expect anything from any of you but if you are able and willing to help I am so thankful and grateful for it! Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I appreciate you all!

Love,

Nikki
