HELP BECKI BEAT CANCER

Donation protected
Hello,

My name is Rebecca Ottusch.  At the age of 27, on September 18, 2018 I was diagnosed with Stage III Breast Cancer with tumors in the right breast and the auxiliary lymphoma nodes above and a mammoru gland under the ribcage.  I tried alternative treatment for about a month, water fasting and eating a purely raw green alkaline diet but the tumors when from 35 mm and 19 mm to double in size. I opted for a double mastectomy surgery in October of 2018, in which they found the entire right side compromised with cancerous cells, and removed tumors in the right armpit as well, and removed the left breast as well because of my high risk of reoccurrence. The doctors found through genetic testing that I carry a variant of the PALB2 and BRAC2 gene, both which of positive for, are indicators of high risk of breast, ovarian and other cancer. 

My doctors concluded that since I am so young with a very aggressive cancer and genetic indicators toward reoccurring risk, that it is in my best interest, medically, to perform a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation with follow-up treatment. For an aggressive cancer, aggressive treatment is needed and I want to be here, create a beautiful life in which I can continue sharing my talents with others, helping serve others, continuing to heal myself and the planet, and making this world a better place. Of course, I have more personal goals too like to raise a family, it would be simply amazing to have a family. 

I am currently just over half way through chemotherapy, of 6 sessions total spanning from December 2018 through March 2019, and after, I have scheduled radiation and a final reconstructive surgery. 

As an independent contractor for all my paid positions - as a yoga and meditation instructor, occasional model, and assistant to a screenwriter, I do not have the money and funds to do this alone.  I cannot afford to pay for all the supplements and alternative therapies in conjunction with conventional. 


Your generosity and kindness is deeply appreciated.  Thank you! Bless you <3
