Hi, as many of you know, Stephanie was diagnosed with Metastatic Carcinoma and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. Being a new small business owner, this couldn't have come at a worse time. My goal is to make sure she can get through the next several months financially stress-free. Her expenses are going to be household costs along with suite rent, medical insurance, and copays. She is preparing by freezing meals for her and Jacob during the recovery and putting in as many hours at the salon, and that's just the start.

After surgery, she will need 4 weeks to recover before she can start radiation. Realistically, she won't be up to working for at least a month and will be limited for several months. Her treatment plan is calling for surgery and radiation before chemo, along with years of hormone therapy. The reality of it is she is going to have a hard time lifting her arms or standing for long periods of time. The treatment itself is going to leave her sore and tender, having a detrimental impact due to her career.

I am thankful that this is treatable. We have wonderful friends and family that have all won the same fight. Stephanie is going into this hopeful with a positive outlook that is to be admired. WE GOT THIS!!! With everyone's help, this can be a small hiccup.

How You Can Help

Thank you for helping me get her through this small chapter of the Stephanie Show (we all have a funny story). I will be sharing updates as she travels through treatment.
