SUPPORT SYLVIA MERCADO’S FIGHT AGAINST STAGE 4 CANCER

Today, I am sharing my story with you. My cancer came back after 20+ years. My diagnosis is Advanced Metastatic Breast Cancer which has spread to my bones, lymph nodes, and liver.

I started my chemotherapy treatments last August (2024). I would like to let you know I am still in danger. I’m not yet out of the woods. I still have a long way to go in my treatments.

I am asking for your help because I need my treatments to continue. And this is possible with your donation whatever the amount, it does not matter.

* Your donation will go a long way.
* You can make a positive impact on me.
* You can make a difference.
* Your donation can save my life and prolong my life.

I sincerely thank you for your time, your kindness, your support, and your generosity.

We are raising funds to cover the out-of-pocket health insurance expenses not covered by Medicare for Sylvia's critical cancer treatment. Our goal is $13,460, which will directly support necessary medical care and alleviate the financial burden during this challenging time.

Sylvia's Story:

It all started with upper abdominal pain in May 2024. The pain started as tolerable but it was constant until it got to be so unbearable. It was a debilitating pain. I couldn’t move. It was eating my energy up.

Right Breast

In July 2024, I received a devastating news that my breast cancer came back and has already metastasized. I am still having abdominal pain from these lesions and the strong pain medication helps a lot. I am very weak and I lost a lot of weight.


I went through a lot of tests and procedures. CT scans, biopsies, ultrasounds, MRCP, PETSCAN. And more to come.


I started my first round of chemotherapy on Aug. 12, 2024.

I believe in my team of medical professionals and the support of my family, friends, and strangers.

I pray that God will allow me to survive this ordeal so I can be a witness to His great Power and enjoy time with my family.

If you find it in your heart to help and share my story, thank you and God bless you; if you can add me to your prayer list, thank you and may the good Lord bless you.

In God’s Holy Name,
Sylvia
