Viva Vivan 2019 - Round IV

Donation protected

Hi everyone,

I'm Vivian and am going through my 4th breast cancer   battle since 2012.  For those of you who are just now joining in on the Viva Vivian Journey, here's a quick recap:

2012: Stage I, Bilateral Mastectomy w/reconstruction
2015: Stage III, while pregnant with the now 3.5 yr old Joaquin and went through chemotherapy treatments while pregnant.  Resources and info about cancer during pregnancy at Hopefortwo.org
2017: Stage IV, After two years of strictly natural cancer treatments, the cancer spread to my liver, multiple lymphatic areas and multiple areas of my bones.  We combined chemotherapy and cannabis and I had clear scans in three months and started medications to keep things stable
2018:  Stage IV, After a year of NED (no evidence of disease), scans showed a bit of progression in my liver and hips.  We switched up my medications but 6 months later, the cancer had progressed even further.  The medication did not work and I started chemo/cannabis on March 1st 2019.  We will do four infusions and scan again.

Many of you have inquired about donating, so we wanted a platform where anyone can easily do so.  You can still donate directly through venmo

These funds will be directly used for:

- Medical bills (high co-pays and the treatments not covered by health insurance) while Sasha has to take less work and I am no longer working
- Extra Childcare and Home Help while I am unable to contribute as much around the house and with Joaquin.

Thank you!
Vivian, Sasha and Joaquin
