Support Tina's Battle Against Ovarian Cancer
Donation protected
My name is Tina and I was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I had two surgeries, one April 27th due to a 11 centimeter tumor bursting ending with my left ovary being removed. Another surgery on May 10th due to the first surgery bursting open and leaking infection. I ended up with a flesh eating bacteria that ate away at my inner stomach lining. I started chemo June 9th which has been far from easy. I have been experiencing a lot of symptoms from the chemo from now needing glasses to gum soreness. I even shaved my head today. I also have a 15 year old son that has seen everything and been there every step. He has been my rock, he has seen me at my lowest and still has been so strong for me at just 15. Our daily lives have been changed now. I have been off of work for two months, recovering from surgery, now working on chemotherapy for the next two months. I received 60% of my pay on FMLA but that just isn't enough to pay all of my bills and feed my son. I am trying to be as strong as I can, for me and my son but it’s definitely a daily battle I face. In this difficult time I am asking for help. It has been far from easy adjusting to our new life emotionally and financially. Anything helps and it’s greatly appreciated.
