Help Sara Stamp fight breast cancer
Donation protected
They say besides your siblings that your cousins are some of your first friends in life. You make memories through the years. There are times when you come and go in and out of each others lives, but you always have that deep rooted connection, that love for one another and that bond of family. My cousin Sara Stamp was one of my first friends in life, and was diagnosed with metastatic ductal carcinoma stage 3 breast cancer in June of 2020, the cancer is in her right breast, 2 different kinds in fact, along with 3 lymph nodes near her right breast.
The doctors decided that a double mastectomy followed by chemo and radiation would be the best way to fight this disease. Sara had a double mastectomy in September of 2020 and has had struggled through unforeseen complications. She had to have 2 emergency surgery's in October of 2020 due to infections from her double mastectomy, one resulting in having her spacer taken out. Both resulted in hospital stays which delayed her chemo treatments.
Once Sara was able to start her chemo treatments besides the side effects of numbing and tingling and losing sensation in her feet and hands, she was hospitalized on several occasions due to poor kidney function and blood clots in her lungs and right leg. She was just told that she was not going to be able to receive her last chemo treatment due to developing Peripheral Neuropathy (numbing and tingling in her hands and feet) her doctor's are hopeful that this condition will be temporary. Sara still has to have radiation, have her spacer put back in then reconstructive surgery.
Through this time Sara's boyfriend Anthony has been staying home to take care of her. Sara has been put on long term disability and now with the Peripheral Neuropathy diagnosis, She will no longer be able to work as an RN at this time. Insurance only covers so much and the bills are starting to amount to more than Sara is able to financially handle.
My hopes are with your donations this will help ease the burden financially so that Sara can focus on getting stronger to beat this horrible disease. Sara and her family are so grateful and thankful for your help and support during this time
