Cancer Treatment Bills

Hello friends and family, 

Some of you know me as Martha Saine and some simply know me by Martita. Some of you know that over the last year I have been battling the fight against lung and brain cancer.  I have been doing chemotherapy since the beginning and had several sessions of radiation.  When we found out there was a tumor in the brain I endured a procedure called 'Gammaknife' which essentially this aggressive radiation focuses on the tumor in the brain until (most of the time) is eliminated.  This procedure was mentally and physically exhausting, was also very costly.   

As you might know I am head over heels for my grandkids and they are everything that is worth living for and fighting this terrible disease.   Watching them grow up is the antidote that keeps me going and I want to be there for them and my kids.  My family is the reason why I want to  fight with all my heart and continue the chemotherapy and other painful treatments.   

I have faith that I'm going to come out of this, I know that with the advance treatments, recovery process, medication, prayers and with the love and support of my family who have been there for me by my side the entire time, I will be able to get back to where I was before all of this and have a better quality of life.

My husband 'Bocha' isn't getting any younger and is required to work full time to help sustain us both, I haven't been able to work for over a year now for obvious health reasons and my medical expenses are piling up and I don't know or see a way of how we're going to come out of this without having me work to earn some additional cash to help us move forward. I know this has put us in a very stressed financial place and the last thing I want is for my family to have to continue to deal not only with my health issues but with my hospital bills. 

I've made a very tough decision of having to reach out to friends and family beyong my home walls to help me continue to reach my dream of spending a more years with my grandkids. This decision of letting my guard down to seek for help is one of the most difficult things I have ever done.  Those who know me I am one to always be the first one to help a friend in need, and the last one to ask for one. 

I hope that you know that this isn't easy for me and I feel even embarrased to even reach to this level, but in all honesty it has been really challenging for me and my partner in life 'Bocha' to foresee how we're going to reach shore again without the help of each and every one of you!  My hope is to pay off the continually rising medical costs so I am not forced to discontinue treatment.  

Friends and family, I come humbly and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for even thinking about helping me ease this pain and struggle of getting to a place where I feel I need to be. Your help means the world to me, again sorry for those who I let down, but may you find peace that I continue to make the best effort I can to be with my family who still needs me by their side. 
 
With love, 

Martha Saine
