My name is Courtney.  I'm 29 years old.  I am a single momma to a wonderful (almost) four year old little girl. Earlier this year around I'd say July-ish I started to notice a pain in my breast when my daughter would lean or lay on me.  I brushed it off for a while thinking it was nothing.  Then one day I noticed a lump.  Being my stubborn self I convinced myself it was still nothing.  Then when it didn’t go away the next month I decided it was time to get it checked out.  I had three mammograms and a biopsy done.  Then ten days after my 29th birthday on September 12, 2016 I received a call no one wants to get.  It was my doctor calling to tell me I have breast cancer.  Triple Negative Aggressive Ductal stage 2.  Luckily my genetics test came back negative and I do not have the gene mutation.  I will however undergo twenty weeks of intense chemotherapy followed by possible radiation and a double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery.
I am currently working with my employer about the time I will need off throughout all of this but unfortunately the time off will be unpaid.   Along with my medical bills that have already started coming in  I will still have my other monthly bills, and my daughter's daycare/preschool expenses.  And to add to the stress level my transmission is going out in my car and my daughter's birthday is a week before Christmas.
My wonderful parents are helping my through all of this as much as they can but they cannot pay my bills.   So I am asking you for help.  Anything you can give would be so appreciated I can't even explain it; even if it is just sharing this with your friends and family.
