Hello my name is Stephanie Kutz & I am telling my story & reaching out to friends & family  in hopes for a little help in this journey that is currently going on in my life & will continue for the next year! My life & the normalcy I was living everyday completely stopped on November 12th, 2015 when I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer! I was months away from being a stage 4 & even worse, not having the chance to beat this! The cancer was progressing & moving fast! I had Dr's appointments every day in order to start Chemo immidiatly! I also have a 12 year old son with special needs that I needed to break the news to! The reality of it came when all of my hair started falling out by the 2nd round of Chemo & then having to have my best friend shave the rest of my hair off as my family & friends sat around & cried with me, the pain you feel all over your body & the pain of your personal appearance breaks your confidence down so much that only a woman that has been through this can understand!  I currently am getting my treatments at Ironwood cancer treatment center & my Dr. Is Anita Kosak-Szewczyk! I have one more Chemo left & still have a long road ahead of me because they have told me I will need to get a double mastectomy & then go through radiation & then have reconstructive surgery on my breast! As the days go on I lose more & more energy & I am terrified for my son & I & our well being in terms of bills & money while I am going through this. That is why I am reaching out for help! I  am not the type to ask for help but I realize this is more than I can handle! My surgery alone will be $30,000 for everything, I will be out of work for 6-8 weeks & have zero income! And once I am healed from all of my breast cancer issues, I have to have another surgery to have a total hysterectomy due to the cancer spreading there next, is very high! I understand many women have gone through this & are going through it now! This is not meant for people to feel sorry for me, I just wanted to tell my story in hopes for a little help to get us through this very hard unexpected time in my life. I am a fighter & I will put everything I have into beating this! Any help at all, I would be & will so grateful & it will help my son & I out more than you know!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story & thank you so much to anyone that helps me out in any way!!! I love, love, love you all!!!
