Donation protected
Round Two.... PLEASE READ: “I JUST WANT to LIVE ON PURPOSE!! I decided to start New with this campaign. I beat Breast Cancer once I know I can do it again, you all told me I can do it & I believe You all!!! Thanks for Praying for me above all and helping me! God has the final say so! God Kept me once I know he will do it again, Here’s a glimpse of my urgent need for the campaign raw & uncut~Tasha’s story continued.....I’m now 36 with aggressive Estrogen receptor-positive Breast Cancer and this is my second fight with this awful disease, 31 was the first time I encountered this monster. Cancer of any sort is a devastating diagnosis for anyone. I know that ER receptor BC can be a little easier to treat than others, with good, continued, proper care. I unfortunately fell into a deep depression for several reasons ( Example, Cancer diagnosis, homelessness, lack of support and the Sudden Death of my father...Etc is more than I can bare. I was trying hard to live a “normal life” I was/am no longer homeless, have at least two people(support) that checked on me even came with me to some appointments. I was getting back to my new life, trying hard to, until it ( Breast Cancer) came back, see I only had a single mastectomy, I wish I was given the option of a bilateral mastectomy, unfortunately I was not. I have put off a 2nd surgery 3-4 times now due to various reasons which I will share some of. You see, I’m extremely nervous to share but...I’m going to take a leap of faith! I know in order to win you have to fight, in order to finish you have to start and order to receive you have to ASK; so here I go, I’ll try not to be to to long. Here’s the continuation of my story, . I was originally diagnosed in 2015, I fought and it was very tough I often wanted to just quit, & just throw in the towel numerous times. However, the numerous prayers and the generosity of some family, a couple friends, My father and strangers.... I was able to keep fighting. Sadly my father suddenly passed away at the end of 2015 I just finished chemo for the fist time he passed 3 weeks later , I was devastated it crushed me!!! My life stopped for me for months, I’m still trying to accept his death and The first Cancer fight. I have to move forward to even continue this campaign. Moving to mid 2018 still hurt & crushed mentally, the disease WAS NOT done with me. I’m back where I started but worst off in my opinion due to me Putting off Surgery, Extreme Depression, Constant bullying(because I gained weight from steroids instead of losing it), unstable living conditions due to my ability to keep up with rental payments due to My health both physically and mentally! Although the Love & Prayers out weighed the bullying it has left its mark! I have been praying and I have decided to continued to share my story. I know there are people that want to listen and help if they can, for that I’m grateful!!! I would love to maintain security (household) I’m fighting something that frightens me and worries me none stop. Although I’ve been down this road before , I’ll never be ready for this.My father’s passing while undergoing chemotherapy and living house to house after his passing is more than I could bare. I come to you all with pieces of me scattered everywhere. I was blessed with an apartment unfortunately I’m unable to maintain the rent due to physical & Extreme mental distress , depression from Breast Cancer and Numerous life hardships ....I don’t understand why me Again??? I’m humbly asking for your help, to help me Beat this Again & rebuild me. Once I’m healed I’m going to pay it forward and those in my shoes. I’m praying for help with Shelter permanently, medical procedures(breast surgery) lymphedema sleeves and radiation relief care for which state medicaid doesn’t pay for. I want to share much more but I’m soooo reluctant, due to the fact that I was and am still being BULLIED, ridiculed, mad fun of, talked horribly about and wish death upon “hoping this cancer kills me” from women because “ I don’t look sick”, I know it’s pure ignorance. That’s why I’m asking for help TO “LIVE ON PURPOSE”! Nothing about cancer is funny. The things I’m dealing with, are unbelievable, I don’t even know how I’m doing it??? I want to beat this AGAIN, encourage others in my shoes and uplift them, those interested please follow my journey, I’m going to do this again and come out victorious. When I beat this I plain to start a support group for those with little to no support and an anti-cancer bulling campaign, Depression from a Cancer diagnosis’s,. I plan to spread awareness and PRAY it opens others heart’s to have better understanding, Education and Empathy. I’m Grateful and so thankful for the donations in advance no matter the outcome! The prayers by far are the best gift I can receive! Thanks so much God Bless!!!
