Stand with Nathalie: Overcoming Stage 4 Cancer

**Update on My Battle with Cancer**

Dear friends, family, and supporters,

I wanted to share an update on my journey as I continue to fight stage 4 metastatic cancer. Recently, I’ve landed back in the hospital with swelling in my belly and inability to think or be coherent. Further scans and evaluations confirmed that I’ve had more cancer spread, making it incredibly hard for me to eat. On top of that, I’ve completely lost my ability to walk and now need physical therapy to help regain my strength and mobility.

Right now, my focus is on staying as strong as possible while also exploring treatments to help boost my immune system and fight this spread. I need specialized care, assistance with meals, and therapies that aren’t fully covered by insurance. These extra costs have become overwhelming, and I’m reaching out for support.

Every donation, share, and message of encouragement means more than I can express. Whether it’s helping with medical expenses, home care, or simply ensuring I get the nourishment and support I need, your kindness is truly a lifeline for me during this difficult time.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Your love and support mean the world to me, and I will continue to update you on my journey.

With love and gratitude,

Nathalie

Hi. My name is Nathalie. In 2015, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I was terrified. I sought the help of integrative doctors and healed within 6 months. Cancer free! For 8 years, it stayed that way. But the stress of life and finances proved to be too much for me, and in November of 2023, it came back. Stage 4. Complete devastation. For the last year, I have done all I could financially to fight this, but stage four is very different. I was steady for months until I agreed to take a certain hormone blocker that gave me diabetes and doubled my markers. Although I stopped the pill and no longer have diabetes (as per the advice of my oncologist), I have had nothing but progression of my disease since. I haven't been able to get ahead of it. I need financial assistance and serious treatments I cannot afford. I'm not ready to go! I have children I want to see flourish as adults and meet my grandchildren one day. I am praying this will help find the proper resource for me in getting some help and hope.
