SUPPORT Dana Lynn THRIVE & SURVIVE Breast Cancer

In September of 2020 Dana Lynn was given 3 months to live with a diagnosis of Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer.  Dana Lynn continues to live, be optimistic and be fully engaged in her healing, she is 'Thriving to Live!'

Dana Lynn's story is one of extreme life challenges, courage and survival, she overcame abuse,  recovered from addictions, prevails with her symptoms of PTSD, and now is faced with the life threatening challenge of Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer.

After many difficult years that included physical and sexual abuse, coping with symptoms of PTSD through the use of alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, crack, crystal meth and marijuana Dana Lynn's immune system was very compromised.  She caught every virus and bug, was bed ridden, and unable to go anywhere.  At that time Dana Lynn's doctor diagnosed her with a rare white blood cell disease and also found an unusual disorder in her lungs, he told her that if she didn’t quit immediately, she would have some very severe symptoms.  In July of 2000, she quit everything cold turkey! That was almost 21 years ago.

With a very healthy lifestyle and many holistic health practices Dana Lynn has overcome many of her health and PTSD symptoms including agoraphobia (not being able to leave her house because of intense anxiety and panic attacks) and an addiction to Ativan. Imagine not being able to walk from one room to the next without your anxiety medication gripped tightly in your hand.  

Her courage and strength continue as she works every day to THRIVE in her sacred body, staying devoted to her spiritual practice, holistic treatments, a healthy whole food, fermented diet, exercise, time in nature, meditation, and costly healing treatments.

Dana Lynn writes, "I am grateful every day for each breath I take. I am thankful that I get to show up in life and be a mother and friend to my daughter, and now an Oma to my grandson and that I can share my journey with all of my friends, and family."

With this GoFundMe we hope to collect donations to help Dana Lynn with day-to-day living expenses, as well as, supplementary holistic treatments to support her immune system and mental health during this time of 'Thriving to Live.' 

Dana Lynn has never given up at any turn in the road, she continues to face and find ways to thrive through immense challenges in life.  Please let us support her in this next phase of her journey, Thriving to Live, as she finds ways to live and thrive with this diagnosis.

This is the kind of person that Dana Lynn is, taken from a post on her page,
"Dana is a beautiful soul, so caring and loving.
She offered me support and love in a hard period in my life and she did not even know me. She wanted to help a stranger
If you are able to help, please do, you will be helping a genuine soul who is always helping others. Lots of love to you sweet Dana Lynn"
