Let me tell you a little about Alexx. She is intelligent, funny, adventurous, beautiful, and full of life.
Alexx is 31 years old, lives alone, and has a mortgage, a dog, and a ton of responsibilities. After being diagnosed on October 30th with
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma/ stage 2 breast cancer, it has become clear that she will need financial assistance for a number of things throughout this process. The current treatment plan involves at least 3 major surgeries to hopefully avoid chemo.
So far the surgeries ahead are:
January 17th: A skin-sparing double mastectomy and lymph node biopsy
January 30th: Placement of tissue expanders under the pectoral muscles
Sometime late in February thru Mid March: removal of tissue expanders and placing permanent implants
She is very likely to need future surgical revisions, especially if radiation down the road negatively impacts her healing and creates excess scar tissue.
Revisions are not always covered by insurance.
Some other costly new obstacles:
-Missing about 3-4 months (or more when doing radiation therapy) of work total between surgery recovery periods and appointments etc
-Being able to afford better quality and more nutritious food to aid in healing
-tons of gas driving to appointments an hour away from her home and back
-supplements and at home supplies to aid in comfort and recovery
Alexx has a deep support network and lots of people who can offer assistance and recovery care but unfortunately the greatest stress in her life is lack of funds and that pressure must to be lessened in order for her body be able to focus on getting better.
After an extremely unlucky year for her finances, we are asking for help, so she can concentrate on her well-being.
