Help Cindy fight Metastatic Breast Cancer
Donation protected
For as long as I can remember my Mom has always been a person who helps others. She serves God everyday by serving those in her community. She is a ray of sunshine where ever she goes with a positive and cheerful personality and has great empathy for others. She spends her days providing therapy for others through her work and is a loving Wife, Mother of 5 and Grandmother to 8 grandchildren.
My Mom was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer in June and they started her on chemotherapy. The doctors were hoping the chemo would reduce the 3 masses in her breast and 3 in the lymph nodes and stop them from growing/spreading so that they could surgically remove them prior to starting radiation.
She had surgery in December and instead of 3 infected lymph nodes they found and removed 14 infected lymph nodes along with 3 masses. During the surgery they found dormant cancer in tissue behind them and will have to remove the tissue to the muscle wall.
She is scheduled for mastectomy surgery for January 12th. Unfortunately, due to the new calendar year she must pay her insurance deductible again prior to the surgery. Her deductible is $7,000.
My parents have already gone into debt $3,500 with their personal credit cards to fight the cancer. My Dad receives a small retirement pension and my Mom works as a therapist within her community but has been unable to work since diagnosis.
Unfortunately, due to the circumstances of the pandemic and financial strain it has caused for various family members we aren't in a position to provide any more financial help ourselves. I myself reside in Canada and haven't been able to make the trip home to Colorado to visit her since diagnosis due to the pandemic. As strong as she is I know this has been a very difficult journey for her.
Please help by donating money to help support her treatment and pay for expenses like medications so she can live another day and continue to be a loving mother, grandmother and wife for her family.
