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 at age 32 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!

---March 17, 2026--- UPDATE

Hello again! I hope all is well with all of you! It's been nine months since my last update, and I'm finally here! My hair has slowly grown back. I finished all six chemo infusions last year in September.

It was rough after my fourth infusion, as the treatment gradually intensified the side effects with each session, leaving my immune system more vulnerable. Fatigue, nausea, neuropathy, and body aches increased, and my lab numbers fluctuated. I felt extremely lethargic. I spent six days waiting for most side effects to fade, while also feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted. It felt like I was trapped in a hurting body, unable to escape the pain. But I endured and tried to be as strong as possible.

My infusions were delayed a few times due to my fluctuating lab numbers, and I also got sick, which caused me to skip another week of treatment. Still, I was grateful for those breaks, as they allowed my body time to recharge. Any healing time is important.

For my last two chemo infusions, my doctor lowered the dosage, which made a significant difference. I was able to tolerate the side effects a bit better, although it was still the hardest stretch of my treatment. I cried many times, feeling so alone with what I was experiencing physically. I begged and prayed for strength because it began to weigh heavily on me mentally and emotionally. I just wanted to get it over with.

I thought my body would breeze through it without complications. However, during my final infusion, I experienced a similar reaction (elevated BP and fast heart rate) that had happened twice during my previous treatments five years ago. This time, it returned with additional nausea, itching, and tightness in my chest. I knew it could occur after multiple cycles, so I remained calm and was relieved it didn’t turn serious. My amazing nurse resolved the situation quickly, and I’m so grateful to all the helpful, kind, and hardworking oncology nurses!

I did my CT/PET scans back in October. Another round of scan anxiety and a waiting game. You can imagine the worry, followed by the relief I felt when the results showed that things are stable, and most importantly, there are no new tumor growths!

For the past five months, I’ve undergone numerous lab tests, check-ups, and scans, along with ongoing immunotherapy infusions every three weeks. So far, I have completed 14 infusions since last April. I am still on this journey.

Immunotherapy is a targeted therapy intended to help my immune system fight the cancer. While it’s not as intense or physically taxing as chemo, I still experience flu-like fatigue for a couple of days, among other side effects. I pray that as I move forward with my treatment, my body can withstand any immune-related changes. Most importantly, I hope the cancer doesn’t come back or grow. For my part, I am doing my best to stay healthy and keep moving. It is still not easy. Healing will never be linear.

Once again, I am doing my best to survive, cope, and deal with the mental, emotional, and financial toll this disease brings. It’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. As a two-time survivor, undergoing treatments isn't the toughest challenge anymore; it’s dealing with the aftermath. I’m still working on bouncing back to my new reality, and any amount to alleviate overwhelming stress from bills is so appreciated. Regaining my footing remains challenging without help.
