Hi friends,

I've been dreading writing this because I honestly feel embarrassed asking for help again. You guys were so amazing the first time around and that money has literally helped me survive over a year, which I'm nothing but thankful for.

At the moment I just finished 8 sessions of chemotherapy which was the hardest thing I ever had to do; physically, mentally and in every way. I've lost a lot of weight, lost a lot of muscle mass, I'm pretty weak physically and I still can't work or even think to look for a job until I know what's coming next. I have a CT scan next Monday and then I have to wait a month until I get to talk to my oncologist about the results of those tests and what's next. Although I've been extremely lucky to be able to use the public system here to do my treatment, every single appointment for any type of test or to even talk to my oncologist takes months to schedule because the system is saturated.

Hence, the reason for this GoFundMe. Right now I need to see pretty urgently a physical therapist, a dermatologist, an eye doctor and an ear doctor, I need to schedule another colonoscopy and gastroscopy as well. This is to deal with a lot of side effects and neuropathies the chemo did on my body. This chemo was really strong and it affected my vision, my balance (ear doctor), my stomach, my intestines, and my nerves: especially my feet, hands and neck.

If I were to do these tests via the public system/public doctors I would probably have to wait 6 to 9 months to get the appointments, so doing them privately is what I need at the moment. Of course and luckily, Costa Rica is much cheaper than the US and I wouldn't need nearly as much, so anything, and I mean, anything you guys can donate will make a difference.

Please know I appreciate you ALL and I understand if you guys can't donate this time around. The holidays are approaching and I just don't expect anyone to give more than what's already been given. Just know your friendships mean the world to me and I appreciate every person that has reached out in their own way to see how I'm doing.

You're all the best. I honestly can't ask for better people in my life.

Thank you for being there in every way while I go through this tough journey.

I'm still not out of the woods and as much as I wish I knew how much longer this will go for I have no idea. Until then my life is on pause, I miss my Luna, my friends, my job, my life, but I have to believe there's a purpose to all of this and I'll be victorious if I persevere. Love you all ♥️
