I am 41 years old and on October 31, 2016 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, as shocking and depressing as it was I'm not new to the disease. I've lost my Father to Colon cancer June 4, 2005 and my Grandmother to breast cancer December 1, 2006.
I was a patient at Kaiser Sacramento since the age of 14, they did everything for me in regards to my condition until it came down to my surgery. I was denied and told I have to apply for medical first, my body does not have time for that. I then became a member of Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield which everything was fine until once again it was time to schedule my surgery, miraculous my insurance went to active to inactive in a 2 week span. Blue Cross didn't have an answer of why and neither did the job.
With lots of prayer my name was put back on as active but now I'm told I have to pay a lot of deductibles. I have not been able to work since I've been diagnosed because of the type of work I do I can't lift anything over 5 pounds.
I'm in constant pain some days are worse than others. There are days I want to give up, but I have more than one reason not to and those are my family and friends and my faith in God.
I hardly have the money to pay for my bills, and I really can't afford my dedicutbles.
I'm begging for help because I don't want to become another name that lost the battle I don't want my children to have to hold up a sign with my face on it staying my expiration date. I want to be able to tell my story I want to kick cancer right in the behind, let it know you will not win this battle!
