I am Vrendi Will, 46, elementary school teacher, diagnosed with IDC breast cancer that is E+, P+, H-, BRACA-. I have completed 5 months of chemo, a double mastectomy, lymph nodes removed under my arm and in my neck, and a vein harvested from my leg for lymphatic bypass. I have started hormone suppression therapy which will continue for many years.

Next, physical therapy, radiation, and several more surgeries for reconstruction and a hysterectomy.

Here, I am hoping for continued support to cover my frequent travel, lodging, and medical costs as I am receiving the best care I can at the Mayo Clinic Phoenix.

My husband is also an educator and we are deeply moved and grateful for the assistance that is given. It’s a lot for a long time! Thank you for being a positive part of my journey!
