On August 11, 2023 Donna was diagnosed with breast cancer. The shock of this diagnosis was devastating. Breast cancer has never been in the history of her family. After several ER visits for anxiety and panic attacks, the tests began.
September 28, 2023 Donna underwent a lumpectomy. Her health insurance was reluctant to pay for critical testing which delayed her treatment. Finally approved, Donna learned on November 15, 2023, that she had stage 3 ductal breast cancer.
Originally, she was to only be treated with radiation but chemotherapy is now required through March of 2024.
Donna's health insurance deductible is extremely high since she works for a small business. The majority of her income is from commissions. She can work from home, but in reality there will be more couch time than selling time.
Any and all donations are welcome.
