Support Brittany's Cancer Battle: Chemo Ahead

Donation protected
Hello my name is Brittany!
I began my fight with medical issues at approximately 16 years old. For nearly 15 years I have been ignored, gaslit, and made to feel like a girl crying wolf.
Every month my menstrual cycle has left me in extreme pain, nausea, and excessive bleeding.
I have diagnosed and undiagnosed with Endometriosis twice, prescribed unnecessary antibiotics for UTIs that did not exist and constantly and consistently told I was too young to ask for a hysterectomy.
On March 3rd, 2025 after returning to the Urgent Care after yet another round of Antibiotics did not cure my “UTI” a doctor FINALLY requested a CT Scan. I would later learn I have Stage 3C Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary; hypercalcemic type.
A baseball sized tumor had grown on my right ovary and had began to spread and was pressing on my ureter causing kidney issues.
On April 7th, 2025 I underwent a partial hysterectomy which included removing the main mass along with my right ovary, uterus, a small bit of my stomach and rectum, and lymph nodes, cervix, were it had spread as well as fluid build up on my right lung.
Currently it has already started to grow again in the lymph nodes asking with a blood clot in my lung.
For two months, I experienced extreme nausea and pain and was struggling to keep any food down, including water and lost a total of 60 pounds before May. I will be starting my chemo on June 2, 2025 and I will be taking six medications for three days every three weeks for six rounds.
I am not allowed to work during treatment and I’m asking for donations to help with monthly bills such as pet care, personal amenities, medication, medical trips, and groceries.
