Breast Cancer Warrior started chemo

Donation protected
I'm Chardon and I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on September 14, 2022 at the young age of 41. I had multiple doctors appointments in preparation of the start of treatment. My cancer is at a stage 4 and I started chemo October 25, 2022. During chemo, I am unable to work as it takes a week to recover each time. Chemo is every other week and makes me tired, nauseous, muscle pains, mouth sores, dryness of the mouth and hair loss which has already started.

 I started this GoFundMe because I need assistance to be able to pay bills and help with food and gas to get to treatment. I can't hold down a job right so a nest egg would be a huge help to my family during this time. It would allow me to catch up on bills and save for emergencies. Thank you in advance and please feel free to share. You never know who would want to be a blessing.

The story:

I felt a lump in my breast in 2021 but it was benign. In 2022, I scheduled a routine mammogram but had to wait almost 2 months due to them being backed up. By the time my appointment came, my right breast was double the size of my left one. At that point, I knew something was wrong.That same day, I had an ultrasound because they saw something abnormal. They scheduled a biopsy and I was on pins and needles. 3 days after the biopsy, I got the call that I had Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I immediately met with a surgeon and we started discussing options. By the end of September, chemo, surgery and radiation was the plan. This is very difficult for my family and I.
