Hello loved ones -

It’s been a year since my whole life has been flipped upside down. A whole year of riding the waves of fear, being in the unknown, really high highs and unimaginable lows. Dealing with debilitating pain, and having the most unshakable faith I didn’t know dwelled in me.

A year in recap -

November 15, 2024, I was diagnosed and completely shocked by stage four metastatic breast cancer that had spread to my spine.

January 2025, was a month of trying to find the best protocols for me and my family. It was also met with the shock of the Malibu fires that took homes of our loved ones. We brought them in to live with us as it was traumatic for everyone.

February 2025, the cancer had spread like its own wildfire from my cervical spine, all the way through my entire spine, ribs, liver, pelvis and femur. The tumors caused such degradation in my c6/c7 that they caused fractures. I immediately lost mobility in my hands and debilitating nerve pain through both arms that led me to the ER. Doctors were unsure if the bones would grow back and if I would be dependent on a halo device to keep my neck in place for the rest of my life. Something no one wants to hear

I ended up with 9 rounds of radiation on my cervical spine to save my neck. It was the scariest moment of my life. I now needed 24/7 care from family and friends as I could not feed myself, brush my hair and was unable to sit up. I was bedridden now.

March 2025, I started on a low dose chemo protocol called Warburg Way Therapy that I received for weeks away from the family. I also got my quality of life back as I had a miraculous healing - I regained my hand and arm mobility

and was able to sit up for the first time in months without pain, and was finally able to feed myself! I still spent 90% of my time in bed recovering.

April 2025 - I was making progress until I had another fracture in my lumbar spine putting me right back into bed for weeks to come. At this point, I had lost almost 20 pounds and 3.5” in height from the multiple fractures. It was very hard to almost heal from my neck and starting to get my life back, to fully depending on caregivers again.

By June 2025 - I had again healed from the last fracture only to once again have another fracture in my thoracic spine, again, putting me back into bed full time and needing full time caregivers. I continued the low dose chemo plus a whole host of other integrative protocols that were very demanding.

July 2025- I was determined to walk again by my birthday July 25th, and I did just that! I had gone from being bedridden, needing a wheel chair and a walker, plus a waist brace and months of wearing my cervical collar. It was such a high moment for me on this journey as I had persevered through so much. My scans and blood work still showed slight progression despite all my hard work.

August 2025, From the help of loved ones, I went down to Sanoviv - a medical institute that specializes in cancer care. Again, I found myself away from my family for 3 weeks. I did around the clock protocols and treatments focusing on the root cause and coming home I finally started to see amazing results. My main tumor marker dropped 45% and the bone/ liver marker dropped 75%! My scans also should stability for the first time.

September 2025 - I was walking more, cleaning doing dishes and even gardening! For the first time I was able to fully hug my children again. I was feeling like me again! Soon after my red blood cells dropped dramatically to the point of not being able to function. I was again in bed for weeks.

October 2025, I continued on my treatments, yet by this point they all started to weigh on me. It was very challenging, physically, mentally and emotionally.

November 2025, I am still very much on the road to recovery. I still have to use a wheel chair to get to and from places as I am now anemic and get very light headed. I feel weak, am needing more caregivers help daily. I am still overcoming pain throughout my body, not being able to sleep fully through the night. I still can’t cook for myself, or carry much. My beautiful family and children have been there to help me everyday.

Today - I am so humbled, I feel so blessed by family, friends and strangers who have knowingly and unknowingly supported me and my family through the hardest chapter of our life.

I am not taking anything for granted. I do my utmost best to keep my vision on track of me having a full recovery! I am not going anywhere, but I still need so much more help and resources to fight for my life and see that vision through!

My last gofundme was such a success and gave me the opportunity to do what ever it took to get me here a year later. I have been putting off asking for more support because it’s incredibly challenging for me to ask for any help… but my life now depends on it.

This new round of funding will help pay off current medical bills, pay for my treatments moving forward that are absolutely necessary for my success. My family and I need help with food, with caregivers, medications, supplements, on going physical therapy as my body has suffered through so many changes and trauma from this disease. Lastly, we need support and resources for the unexpected moments, which have come up many times.

And because I am unable to work, Scott has taken on the unimaginable challenge of taking on both our businesses full time without my help, while still helping me out as needed AND being so supportive and present to both our boys (7&9 y/o) full time.

I know I’ve been quiet with my journey as it has had so many unexpected turn of events and the greatest challenges I have ever faced, and yet my silent cocoon has been filled with so much gratitude, so much awe and the greatest amount of love I’ve ever felt. I can’t even describe what your support has meant and done for myself and our family! I am so inspired and hold such reverence for this community!

This next round is for the continued support needed to keep my healing momentum going, to keep my family intact and rid us from financial strain that such a diagnosis puts on a family unit.

Thank you again to everyone for sharing, donating and making the biggest difference in me and my family’s life. Thank you for saving me and giving me my life back!

May you all be blessed ten fold

Erin, Scott, Indy & Neko
