I don't really know where to start & I'm not very good at asking for help. But in this situation, I'm really not having much of a choice because cancer sucks!!!

At the beginning of October, a small knot came up on my stomach that over time got bigger. When it first appeared, I had trouble eating for 2 weeks... everything just made me hurt, but then it stopped hurting. Around the first week going into November, the pain started again & continued right up until my surgery. After all the Dr. appointments, I found out my gallbladder was filled with stones and would need to be removed.

Jump to Jan 6th & I'm in the OR where they need to stop my surgery to call in the on-call Oncologist. Right, the big C... CANCER!! Which knocked me way out into left field. ME: Completely stunned!! How can it be cancer... Cancer doesn't run in my family. And to this very day, I still have to ask myself, is this really real? But then the pain reminds me, NO, it's real!!

But now, financially, things are tough and just living day to day has put me in a place of uncertainty and financial difficulty. And asking for help is not something I do easily because I've always taken care of myself. But now I physically can't do that anymore. So if you feel in your heart to donate I would be eternally grateful.
