My life was given a price at 30
When I turned thirty in June this year I decided to be Thirty,Flirty and Thriving. Life stopped me dead in my tracks, instead of thriving I’m crying. I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Stage 3 one day before Thanksgiving. I had a lump in my breast that TWO doctors in Illinois said was a Cyst and that I was to young to have BREAST CANCER. Will jokes on me, cancer did not receive that message. But I’m determined to be cancer free because I have a beautiful 10 year old I want to see grow up and become that wonderful woman I know she will be. This journey is already starting off rocky because I thought I was healthy so I chose the basic insurance with a huge deductible so before they can perform my surgery for a port for chemotherapy on Tuesday December 8th I had not ONE but TWO calls from HEB HARRIS AND MY DOCTER asking for upfront payments of $5,347.25 and $2054.52 I don’t know about anyone else but close to 8,000 dollars is just not in my budget and even with payment plans how will I heal and still provide. I’m a mother first and budgeting our day to day and our household can not survive me having cancer.Making this page is hard because I’m the one that is supposed to fix it and take care of it but I just can not this time and if letting it run it’s course and living everyday as my last and enjoy my daughter for the time with her. The stress of medical bills and feeling like my life isn’t worth the cost of me not being able to provide for my daughter than so be it. I’m a fighter but this cancer is bigger than me and I just need help!
