Join Beth in her fight against HERS2 Breast Cancer

Hi guys A little back story as to what has been going on. In late December 2024, I noticed a huge lump form in my breast. Fast forward through some things... getting a thermal scan and ultrasound through a non-medical facility (because not being able to find a gynecologist as a new patient in Fredericksburg has been ridiculous). ANYHOW... having the non-medical ultrasound people tell me that I need to see a medical radiologist right away was enough to have me schedule the mammogram and ultrasound immediately from my primary physician. I had to wait 2 weeks for this (absolute torture). The radiologist comes into the room and pretty much tells me right then and there that it’s cancer. We are now in March of 2025 at this point . I am immediately scheduled for a biopsy, which is not supposed to be until April 22, but I’m lucky enough to get in early, April 7th. That radiologist confirms that she too believes that it’s definitely cancer, but we need to wait for the biopsy results to obviously confirm . I received my results via MyChart on that Thursday, April 10th, changing my life forever because yes, it confirmed that I do have stage 3 HERS2 invasive carcinoma breast cancer. It’s an extremely aggressive cancer, which is why the tumor is as large as it is and why it’s grown as fast as it has. I’ve already been through 1 million tests and still have a million more to go . I’ve met my entire cancer team and have the utmost confidence that they will do their absolute best to get all of this shit out of me and make me as close to the old me as they can!! So, I’ll be doing chemo for a couple of months and then I will go in for a double mastectomy. Then we will reassess after that whether or not I will need radiation. Then there will be six weeks of that, then that takes six months of recovery, then I will go in and have my implants installed, and then we’ll see what happens from there.

With all of that being said, this is not cheap. Every single one of these tests is incredibly expensive and I am not covered under any insurance in my own self-owned business. Many of you know that Danny started a new job last year and his insurance is good but not great. The deductible of seven grand needs to be met (which ) and I’ve had to stop working pretty much already. I’m no longer taking cake orders. I’ve dropped out of a lot of my markets. I’ve already missed three markets for doctor’s appointments and just the overwhelming feeling of finding out you have breast cancer. I completely understand everyone’s situation in 2025. If there’s any way any of you guys can help , even if you can just share the GoFundMe, that would be super appreciated. On top of having cancer, I would really like to not be in debt for whatever rest of my life I have after this!!

And if nothing else, then just please, please do all of your monthly boob checks. If I hadn’t gone to the doctors as quickly as I had, who knows what would be going on right now?

I’m not sure if any of this makes sense because every time I think I’m OK to talk about it, I somehow get emotional . So we would really appreciate if you guys could help us in any way, shape, or form, and if you can only send prayers and positive energy and love, that’s perfect too, and super appreciated!!!

Thank y’all so much we love u so much!!!
