Samantha’s Breast cancer journey

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name's Samantha Reeser. I'm a single mom of two beautiful kiddos and at the age of 34, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Unfortunately, this GoFundMe is for myself. On January 26th, 2025, late at night, I was just finishing up an audiobook when I went to itch my chest. I felt my finger hit something hard. I sat up and put my hand on my right breast, and sure enough, there was a lump. The next day, I was at the doctor's getting it checked. The same day, we did a mammogram that led to a biopsy. Unfortunately, the biopsy came back as cancer. I then met my oncologist and my surgeon. Currently, after my MRI, I am stage 2b breast cancer.

My journey will consist of 5 months of chemo before surgery. At this time, I am still working and that's the plan to continue. However, I'm feeling the impact of the medical visits, and with chemo starting soon, the financial strain will continue.

I wanted to create this to offer some relief. If you're able to, I'd greatly appreciate it.
