Donation protected
Hello, My name is Nicole and I am 33 years old I was walking 3 weeks ago and now I am completely disabled. Due to stage 4 metastatic lung cancer (terminal). unfortantly it has already spread to my liver my lymph nodes its all over my body. It is currently effecting my bones because they are quickly deteriorating. My left hip is so bad because of the cancer eating away at my bones. they are worried that if I bare weight that the hip bone would penitrate thru to my pelvis. so i am unable to bare weight on my left leg. They decided to do surgery on my right hip last week so I would have 1 good leg to stand on when I start Chemo. my oncologist wants me to start Chemo immediatly so they can try to shrink it. All of this came out of no where. They have not given me an amount of time I have left here with my beautiful family but I know my husband is stressed and maxed out. This came out of know where and we were not prepared for this. One round of Chemo is 16,000 I have a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful kids. My husband is the main breadwinner of the household he is absolutely amazing. He has alot on him as it is and he has been missing work to try and take care of me as much as he can. We don't have health insurance and just one of the hospital bills was 81,000. We are trying to use all of our resourses. But we are maxed out. All of our savings went to the 19 prescriptions they currently have me on. My husband has always taken care of everything on his own and this just hit us suddenly he is working 70 hours a week to make ends meet and it's still not enough for the cost of prescriptions or the chemo. We are waiting on the state of Georgia to accept me for Medicaid. They are taking their sweet time. If anyone would like to help it would mean everything to our family. We are not the type to ask anyone for anything but we learned about this go fund me from a friend. So we decided to give it a try. Any amount would be greatly appreciated thanks for the love and support from each and every one of you.
