First & Foremost.. Thank You for reading my story. I would not be here without all of your support. I truly appreciate all of u from the bottom of my heart.
Sooo, almost 1 year ago, I moved back to Orange County for a life changing new job as a Lymphatic Drainage Therapist. (which after a year of COVID was amazing as us Massage Therapists weren't allowed to work here in CA) So after MONTHS of searching for an Apt during Covid, my BF & I found one we could afford if we shared it. Unfortunately 2 weeks after moving in I found out what I thought was a Yeast Infection was instead Stage 3B Adenocarcinoma of the Cervix. A RARE form of Cervical Cancer. I'm literally 10% of 10%. Yup. Leave it to me. My main tumor was HUGE. Over 8cm. Needless to say I was way past surgery being an option so Chemo & Radiation were my only choice. Ugh. The SAME Day I received my Diagnosis my POS Boyfriend (of Over a Decade) LEFT. Just Disappeared like a Ghost! Can't say I'm surprised & its the BEST thing to come of Cancer BUT he left me stuck with ALL the Bills in "OUR" New Place & our Dogs etc.. Like I never even existed.
ON TOP OF THAT.. the Job I moved back for had to be given to someone else as I had to start Chemo & Radiation ASAP. Sooo my life completely fell apart in ONE DAY! I had to do MANY MONTHS of Incredibly Rough treatments & HORRIBLE Hospital stays with NO Income or much help at all.. I lost over 30 pounds... a ton of hair.. & in DEBT beyond belief. My body has been thru the ringer to say the least & new side effects show themselves every day. My bones & muscles hurt to thier core. I am slowly getting better & starting to work again but I have 18 different Doctors I rotate seeing so I'm only working 1-2 days a week. It's difficult going right back to doing massage work when I'm in a lot of pain myself & still so weak. I am able to eat & exercise now but it's hard when I'm so busy & exhausted all the time. It's difficult being a 1 woman show & I have my dogs to care for too now that my Mom has just moved to Florida. So I'm just overwhelmed but I'm pushing thru the pain & stress best I can.
AND as if all that isn't shitty enough.. I'm also trying to not get EVICTED. I could only pay partial Rent this month & It's already almost JUNE! I have a 3 day notice to pay or quit. Again. Before the Holidays I got a bank loan for 10k to pay the rent & car payment but that's gone & they're both past due. Not to mention the long list of other bills. Ugh. I feel like the hole just keeps getting deeper along with my Debt & I'm Drowning. My Covid Relief Unemployment ran out in September & because of that I can't even qualify for Disability or SSI. I've seriously had ZERO Income thru all of this except for your generous donations. I really didn't want to have to make this fundraiser but I'm feeling pretty hopeless & utterly defeated.
The Internal Therapy I need the most right now my Insurance Doesnt Pay for. OF COURSE! AND Its THOUSANDS of Dollars!!!! Neither does it pay for all my medicines & supplements & alternative healing that helps me the most!! But GOOD GRIEF I can't even pay the damn rent so I cant even work on healing myself now that treatment is over.
I found out a few days ago that I BEAT THE CANCER!!! But I have a hard time rejoicing because in reality the Cancer Beat Me. It may be gone but my life has never been such a mess. I've really been feeling like giving up lately. They say Stress caused my Cancer yet no one can lead me to anything that will help me in any way! I've called every number... I've tried every option. I go to food banks & wait hours. I'm out of ideas. & There are MANY in my same shoes dealing with Cancer & other illnesses that cant get help either. It's ridiculous. Sad that Cancer ruins lives even if your just trying to beat it & survive.. because this is No Life. The only help I receive is $200 a month for Groceries & Thank God for that! But really.. $200 to feed me & my 2 dogs. Crazy! Thats like 1 trip to the store these days besides the $6.50 a gallon gas getting to my massive amount of appts all over the county! Thankfully next month I will FINALLY have less Dr Appts! So I'll have more time open for work!
If any of you live in SoCal & would like a Massage Treatment Plz let me know.. I also have the Full Spectrum CBD products that can be Shipped all over the US.
If you can Please Help with Donations or even just SHARE this. It would truly be life changing.
Since GoFundMe takes so much fees & the site my docs told me is free for cancer patients doesn't seem to be working for me.. of course lol.. I also have Zelle/Venmo/PayPal & FB Pay if that's easier. Thank you all so very much! I truly appreciate you.
