Hello...My name is Stacy and I was diagnosed for the second time with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I was diagnosed the first time in August of 2023. Had a Bilateral Mastectomy in October of 2023. Cancer free in December of 2023. Then on July 29th of 2025 again was told that I have Invasive Ductal Carcimoma. PET Scan was on August 19th as they are trying to determine if it has spread to other areas. I will receive results on the 25th from the Oncologist.

I am also trying many other approaches to fight this including seeing a Naturopathic doctor on August 29th. However, many things are not covered by insurance and I am self-employed.

**9/1 Update:

This past week Monday I was informed by my Oncologist that she feels that it has spread to other areas and considers me terminal.

Then on Tuesday had a meeting with my Breast Surgeon who has decided to refuse to operate and she feels it is more of how much time I have left.

Then Wednesday received conflicting information from the Pulmonologist (He ordered the PET Scan) against what the other two Drs felt.

Thursday began Holistic care and then on Friday had my first appointment with the Naturopathic Dr.

I am feeling optimistic after meeting the Naturopathic Dr. - I need this treatment to save my life; however none of it is covered by insurance. I have a substantial round of blood work coming this Friday and another PET Scan (To be scheduled) on my brain.

I will also be getting a second medical opinion on September 10th at Froedert Hospital.

Some additional medical history:

I recently had my gallbladder removed, I had a full hip replacement in 2023, I have had two major sinus surgeries, three female surgeries ( only right ovary left), broke my right shoulder, I have Achenbach Syndrome, I have had several procedures for Basal Cell Carcinoma, Suffer from debilitating migraines, Hyperaldosteronism, Costochondritis, Trigeminal neuralgia, have had Mondors cord and unfortunately many other.

A little bit about myself: I am 50 years old, a wife, a step-mom to two amazing young men, I spend my life helping others, through my business and also charity work in our community. I love to garden and it is important to me to make a positive difference in the world everyday.

Spread JOY!

My goal the first round was to keep spreading JOY!

This time it is... " Every little thing is gonna be alright"

I know that there are so many people in need.

I would appreciate any help that you can provide so that I can focus on beating this a second time. The Funds will be used to cover medical expenses, alternative/holistic options and living expenses.

I am a FIGHTER!
