Hi my name is Afton and I am 41 years old and in 2022 I went to the doctors because my stomach was hard and swollen and I had a lot of discomfort so my doctor wanted to do some testings and u know doctors she gave me an antibiotic saying she thought it could have been a bladder infection or a body infection the next morning I woke up my stomach looked like I was six to seven months pregnant so I called the doctor again and went in that afternoon she didn’t know what to do and was worried so she sent me over to the hospital for more testings catscan this time after they were done I was being sent to Burlington to talk to a specialist and he told me that I had ovarian cancer and I needed a full hysterectomy. My ovary was the size of a softball so I was going in for emergency surgery after I did all that the doctor said I want to do three rounds of chemo to make sure we got everything because the ovary was cancerous. I was in the hospital for nine days as my daughter stayed home alone at age 14 So I did the three rounds of chemo very very sick lost all my hair and had no immune system was in bed for six months straight barely ever left. Thought I was done then eight months later did another Catscan found out that my cancer came back and metastatic meaning it’s in my lungs, my lymph nodes and my stomach stage four cancer I have two kids and a husband that I’m leaving behind been trying to find life insurance. Haven’t found anybody that will take me with stage four cancer as of right now I’m not working because I’m too tired trying to get out and do day by day and have happy memories with my family if you can help I thank you so so much, if you can’t help, just pray that God will give me longer time with my loved ones. I appreciate and thank you all so very much.
