Join Theresa's Battle: A Grandma's Resilience
Donation protected
I am creating this gofundme for a dear friend fighting cancer. For the second time. Theresa was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2023. She had surgery (mastectomy), went through weeks of BRUTAL chemotherapy, and eventually immunotherapy. She received the all clear that she was cancer free. She started having significant pain a few months later. She was diagnosed again with cancer in August of 2024. I was not aware that your body is only allowed so much chemo in a lifetime. Theresa hit that amount in her first fight. Unfortunately no chemo is not an option. So, she's back to doing chemotherapy. This time around she has to give herself injections to protect her bone marrow. Being her friend, there's not much I can do to help. BUT, I can do THIS. Theresa is a warrior, and deserves so much better than the hand she was dealt. She's a mom, a grandma, a wife. And so much more. I can't imagine a life without Theresa in it.
Please help if you can.
