Not letting cancer win

Before diagnosis. Living & loving. 


Nearly 4 yrs ago I was diagnosed with uterine cancer . At first, we were told that they got all of the cancer when I had a radical hysterectomy. All I needed was 6 rounds of chemo and 20 of radiation with an additional 3 rounds of internal radiation. Slam dunk!

One of our premature twin grandsons. 


However, after all treatments, my scan showed that it had metastasized to my lungs and upper left chest wall. . I went from slam dunk to terminal in a moment . Maybe a year to live unless we found a successful treatment. 
I then went to Cancer Treatment Centers of America. I began the fight with earnest. 




Over the years I have gone through all of the standard chemo drugs, radiation treatments, many procedures, and 3 more surgeries.
The battle has finished off all savings and inherited funds. And have begun to sink into debt.  We cannot regret the loss, since I have been blessed with amazing care.
I am now on my last chemo, that is not standard, but was suggested by Genomic testing.  



I have ramped up my natural supplements to work alongside. This fight is expensive.
I am grateful to have good medical insurance, but the costs are running $1500 a month with no end in sight. 
Even though hospice keeps being offered, I have too much fight in me!

Here are 7 little reasons I fight!

I love giving and find it hard to receive, but I am so grateful there are ways to get help with my fight.
