Hey guys! If you didn't watch my video (you should ), I have been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and this video is to support my journey. I am not dying from cancer, I am living with cancer and I am FIGHTING for it. I am uncomfortable asking for help, but I will do whatever it takes to live.
Every single dollar counts. $1, $5, $10, $20. It all helps!! Sharing is caring, and teamwork makes the dream work!
**UPDATE 12/6/18 I am healing up from surgery. I had the tumor removed, and my right ovary ruptured and was removed as well. There was some more damage than expected and I find out 12/12/18 if they will be taking part of my colon, and when chemo starts.
**Update: since chemo will damage my eggs and because I don’t know what all is going to be removed when they remove the tumor, I am having my eggs retrieved so I can have babies one day when I’m ready. Insurance doesn’t cover anything regarding fertility, regardless of cancer. This process alone costs about $10,000. I start medication to prepare my eggs on 10/18, and my eggs will be retrieved on 11/12. I will be flying out that night to begin chemo the following day for 3 weeks. Surgery to follow that to remove the tumor and see if chemo is required again after surgery.
Insurance doesn't cover everything, and this goal will help with the behind the scene stuff such as my bills during treatment, my ongoing expensive diet, medications, alternative treatments, and my travel expenses as I go to Reno for treatment. I start Chemo very soon. Pay your respects to me while I am alive and I can do something with it, not waiting until I am dead. Love is going to help me beat this, I need your help. Thank you for taking the time to listen, to share, and to spread the word. I will be continuing to post videos to keep you all posted on my journey beating the cancer!
If you don't know me, I am a natural healer and work passionately as a mental health therapist and life coach. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. This is only going to better help me to help others see the life they have, truly appreciate it, and overcome anything! ✨
In Gratitude,
