Beat cancer at 31
Donation protected
So, Where should I start? Last year I noticed a lump in my right breast and like an idiot I brushed it off, once it got bigger I tried to make an appointment but because I have the shittiest insurance ever I couldn't even be seen. I was told they were booked out for the rest of the year, and could be put on a waiting list. In the meantime I went to PPH, URGENT CARE, and the e.r but "the order for imaging has to come from your pcp" so frustrating. This January I called and got an appointment for March 19th. After the breast exam she immediately was worried and let me know she believes it's cancer. Went for a dx mammo and the results are "on a scale from 1-5) I scored a 5. Had a biopsy (worst pain ever) on the lump on my breast and my armpit they both show cancer. 2 days ago I was in so much pain I could barely walk and Yesterday I decided I couldn't handle it. I was so sure I had kidney stones but turns out that wasn't it at all. Bad news is he cancer has spread to my bones, liver, and lung. Gosh, I'm lucky!
The financial help is to help with lack of income through this process. A family member will be taking a few weeks off to take care of me and help with the kids.
