Hello everybody. Thank you for visiting my GoFundMe page and taking the time to read my health updates.

Here’s my quick back story. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometrial cancer in August 2021. Scans also showed suspicious lung nodules, and pelvic lymph nodes. I had surgery and 6 rounds of aggressive chemotherapy. I also did 28 days of radiation and 3 more rounds of low dose chemo with it. I finished all my treatments by April 2022 and everything was stable.

I was in remission for almost 3 years, but this past January, my CT scan showed a quarter-sized tumor in the same area where I had cancer. I felt a cramp/dull achy pain on my lower left abdomen for a week. I also did a PET scan and there it was lit up, confirming a recurrence. I opted to have it removed instead of observing, not knowing if it could grow or spread. I had a successful laparoscopic surgery last March, with 5 small incisions so the healing process was quick. Not having complications was a relief. However, the pathology test results showed it’s still an aggressive cancer and lingering cells can still spread.

I’m currently back on treatment which started in April, and as of now I finished 3 out of 6 chemo + immunotherapy. This time they lowered the dosage a bit, but side effects are still the same and still not easy. Right now treatment is every 3 weeks, and after I finish chemo, immunotherapy will continue for 1-2 years.

This journey has taken a toll on my mind, body, and soul. While in remission, it didn’t mean life returned to normal. It meant learning to navigate a new normal—one filled with change, reflection, and healing.

Processing the trauma, anxiety, and uncertainty, doesn’t end when treatment ends. Survivorship comes with its own challenges. It can be even harder. It drains you—mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially.

Going through treatment is hard, but living after it can be even harder. There are ups and downs, lots of tears, but I’m still here. Still fighting. Still focused on healing, growing stronger, and holding onto faith.

Now that I’m going through treatment again, I’m facing it with more knowledge, experience, and a new perspective on life. It’s still not easy, but I’m coping with the love of my family and support of caring friends.

I’m incredibly grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and for simply being there to listen. I truly believe I will beat this again—one day at a time.

I'm reaching out once again, humbly asking for your support as I go through a difficult time. I’m currently unable to work while I focus on completing my treatment, and I need help covering basic household expenses like groceries, monthly bills, and will relieve some of financial pressures from unexpected bills. Your support would help ease the burden and allow me to focus on healing and getting back on my feet in the coming months. Thank you so much!
