Humbly asking for help in healing Stage 4 Cancer

Donation protected
Cancer is definitely not something I had on my radar. It came crashing in as I was managing to do business as a realtor and happily homeschooling my son. Besides having the normal stress of work/life balance, I felt that I made health centered living a priority. Our world has been turned upside down by this debilitating disease and I’m in need of help.     When my son was a baby, he had fever spikes that led to seizures. The doctors were perplexed and only offered to give steroid drugs to his tiny body. I studied & became certified in homeopathic medicine and later a master herbalist. With a change in his diet and some supporting herbs and homeopathic remedies, he never had another episode. He’s 10 now and has been raised holistically and is thriving. Thank God. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I hoped to follow the same naturopathic approach to healing. I worked so hard detoxifying - emotionally, spiritually, physically. I cut back on stress even though multiple weekly nutrient IV’s and blood draws can be a stress of their own. I remained positive, I wanted to heal and inspire others on the journey. I did many alternative treatments and felt good. Then I got hit with Valley Fever (an airborne fungal/mold lung infection) and it took out my strength entirely. I went from 115lbs to 90lbs in a matter of 2 months. The medicine they gave me for that caused me blindness so I couldn’t take it. From there my breathing was so affected, impossible to take a deep breath and rapid resting heart beat, I went to the emergency hospital for the 1st time in my life. There, they took a CT scan and diagnosed me stage 4 Metastatic breast cancer. The valley fever caused lung lesions and cancer had spread to my bones. Ouch. I am now enrolling in a immunotherapy treatment. A $10,000 per IV treatment done every 21 days. There is also the stem cell option and clinics that have consulted & accepted me that have amazing success rates, but they are cost prohibitive at this point. I am reaching out to share my journey, and to humbly ask for your prayers and faithful contribution. I so look forward to posting about a full recovery. This is a lesson in life “happening to me” versus the usual “make it happen” philosophy. This season is a lesson in honoring help & how much people truly care.     The painful suffering from the disease, especially since going into my bones, has been horrible but is nothing compared to the thought of leaving my son to grow up without his Mama. I’m an only parent, it has always been just Suede and I and I’ve treasured every moment. We are bonded beyond measure and my prayer everyday is just to heal so I can get back to fully being here for him. He has been with me every step of the way and I am strong for him, I just wish he didn’t have to be so strong for me. He has been blessed with that capacity. ❤️
