Cancer Warrior Jenn faces huge treatment bills

Donation protected
My name is Jenn. I'm a wife mother grandmother and cancer warrior. Three and a half years ago a lump was discovered in my left breast. That lump turned out to be cancer. The cancer was extremely aggressive in my body and my oncology team decided to do a double mastectomy. While healing and dealing with multiple complications from said double mastectomy my body continued to inform me that something just wasn't quite right. I continued to set up appointments with my primary care physician and they continued to gaslight me that nothing was wrong with me. they informed me that many women experience quote unquote phantom pains after a mastectomy and that most of the time the pains are in the woman's head. I say advocate for yourself. No one knows your body better than you do. After struggling I finally found an oncology team in Wichita Kansas that would listen to me. Thank you Dr. Shaker Dahkil. Dr. Dahkil took the necessary steps to get the pet scans and CT scans and lab work done that were necessary. After receiving the results from the lab work and the multiple scans Dr. Dakhil informed me that my cancer had returned and had metastasized into my bones and my liver. I also have a new tumor growing out of the tip of my breastbone. It is terminal and uncurable. Our best hope is for remission. They are starting me on a new experimental treatment with anti-hormone therapy and Bone strengthening treatments. After 3 months of these treatments I move on to chemotherapy. After chemotherapy I move on to radiation. The doctors will not give me a timeline. They say it all depends on how I react to the treatments. All I want is a chance. These medications cost over $10,000 per month. The insurance that my husband had would not cover these medications as they are on their excluded list. All of this is going to have to come out of pocket. With the cancer having spread into my bones it is causing me a lot of pain and fatigue. I can no longer do my job as an nemt driver due to said pain. I'm doing what I can currently running a roadside bakery stand but unfortunately I won't be able to do that everyday. As everyday gets tougher my bones hurt more and more. This has been very very difficult for me to do to ask for help. But this is where I'm at. All I can ask for is help. Anything helps. Even a share! Thank you very much

The support this far is amazing!! We've almost got enough to cover September doses. Trying for 6 months of treatment. Thank you all!!
