Help Jenn get through breast cancer

Beschermde donatie
Hi. My name is Jennifer Hutter and I'm a full time musician in New Orleans . I've been diagnosed with Triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer.. I also have cancer in my lymphnodes although, until they remove more than the one they've biopsied, I'm not sure how many are involved . My cancer is highly aggressive because it's not hormone based. So my understanding is since they don't know what is causing it its harder to treat. I still have a lot to learn and it's all very overwhelming.. I also had CT scans this week that showed a nodule on my lung and one close to my liver.. it also showed a spot on my sternum that they are concerned about so I'll be getting a PET scan on the 24th . Please send good vibes that it's not in my bones already. I just got this particular news yesterday so I'm obviously even more freaked out. So of course with this new information my diagnosis could change even more but as of right now my treatment plan is having my chemo port implanted this Friday and I will start chemo the following week. I am being treated at Oshner Baptist and the Gayle Benson cancer center in New Orleans.. My 1st phase will be a chemo cocktail of Carboplatin , Paclitaxel (taxol) and Pembro weekly for 12 weeks . My hair will surely fall out during the very beginning of this part (which Im sure i will have trouble with but yay for wigs!) My next 3 months will be more chemo Adriamycin , Cytoxan and Pembro every 3 wks . Then it will be time for surgery . We won't know what type yet but it will be either a lumpectomy or mastectomy... then healing from that and THEN phase 3 will be radiation and Pembro every 3 weeks for 18 wks. So I have a very long road ahead of me . On top of my diagnosis, my band was let go from our house gig with absolutely no warning .. as some of you know my boyfriend was also in my band so they ripped our entire income from us when we needed it most . I still haven't received a reason why but it did happen a week or so after they found out I had cancer so I definitely can't help but think that's why . Having the only normalcy and income ripped away me during this time has been extremely distressing as I'm sure you can imagine.. I will also be trying to work as much as I can but I have no idea how chemo is going to be affect me as it affects everyone differently . I may still be able to do acoustic gigs or the occasional full band gig but I also hear I'll have no immune system so I'm not even sure that will be safe .. I just don't have the information yet. I know this is a ton of info but I know most of you will want to know what's going on. I have attached a gofundme as I'm going to need the help.. I'm so scared, and as a musician I've lived month to month so long so the financial burden of having cancer seems insurmountable.. I know so many of you care about me and I'm very grateful to know so many amazing people... those of you that I'm close to that found out here, please don't feel offended. The amount of doctors appts and information I've been dealing with since my first mammogram has been very hard on me . I've tried to enjoy the last 2 weeks as much as possible because I know how drastically things are changing come Friday . If you can donate , I'd be forever grateful. No matter what it is. I know times are tough for everyone.. if you can't donate please share my story. thanks for reading . I'm going to try and do a weekly update for you all. I'll also have Tommy helping me with communications to keep everyone notified. I'm so terrified but I'm gonna fight this! Thank you all ..
