Hello, my name is Monica Sullivan.

January 4, 2026

I went in for a mammogram and I had a place under my arm. As it turned out, I have breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. The following week, I had a biopsy; they removed breast tissue and 11 lymph nodes. It was positive for breast cancer, and I had cancer in 9 of the 11 lymph nodes.

I have stage IIB breast cancer.

Grade 3

I had my first chemo treatment yesterday. I go every week for twelve weeks, and then after that, I go every other week with two different types of chemo for another eight weeks. After that, I have six weeks of radiation daily. Being on a fixed income, the financial burden is more than I can afford. Could you please help me get through this battle of cancer to become a survivor?
