Hi my name is Joy Lyle I 'm 55 years old a mother of 2 children & grandmother of 2 grandsons. I've been happily married to my husband for 40yrs. I have been a resident of La Grange Tx for 23yrs. My husband owned & operated his own business for 17yrs until 2012 he suffered a stroke and had to close down. He is now disabled.
on August 10,2018 I received the news I was diagnoised with Breast Cancer. At that point my head went into a tail spin I was completely devistatated. That same day my doctor sent me for a biopsy of my left breast. when I got the test results back they said I had Negative 3 Mastic Breast Cancer Of the Left Breast. The mass in the left breast was a measurement of 10-11cm. & my lymph-node of 2cm. Next I was sent for a Pet/CT Scan to see if cancer had spread to anywhere else in my body an thank goodness it hadn't!
On August 14,2018 I was scheduled for surgery to have a port put in so I could start start Chemo asap.
On August 17, 2018 I started my first round of what they call Red Devil Chemo. It would be 1 of 6 treatments every 2 weeks. My last Red Devil treatment was on Nov, 26, 2018.
On Dec. 10, 2018 i start the part of my Chemo Treatment. This is called Taxol. This treatment will be once a week for 12 weeks. If all goes as planned with my second chemo treatment I will be sent for another Pet/CT Scan to make sure at this point the cancer hasn't traveled elsewhere in my body. If all comes back clear on that test we move on to the 3rd stage of my treatment which will be surgery of the left breast. Once surgery is done and i've healed from the surgery we go on to stage 4 of treatment which is Radiation..
I have been able to work pretty much throw the first part of my treatments except for the last 2 treatments have been really taken a toll on me .My white &red blood cell counts have been very very low causing me to go have extra shots between treatments. I have ran a fever & blood pressure drops my body hurts and energy level has dropped dramatically. i have been nauseous a lot more and sick to stomach. I have had to take extra days off which has dropped my income. As the main income has put me in a financial bind every month . The 166.miles round trip for chemo treatments every and in between
the chemo treatments i have to go get blood work and shots it is 60 miles round trip to hospital to get done. For doctor appointments its 60 miles around trip. For the Pet?CT Scans its 172 miles round trip. All this fuel & up keep on my truck taking a toll on financials making it hard to make ends meet at the end of each month.
On Jan. 2019 I have my medical deductible that is due around 7,000. dollars which at this point I do not know where I'm going to be able to come up with it...I can't afford to lose my health insurance at this point at all if i should could mean the end of my treatment for this cancer...
I have pushed myself to try to keep up the hours needed for to keep my health insurance , but it's getting very difficult or me too keep up the pace I've been going. When it comes for time the the surgery I will have too take off work there will be know choice about it. At this I truly don't know how I'm going to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table an bills kept up and still be able to make all doctor & treatments needed to beat this cancer!!!!
So I'm asking for your help & support at this time...I'm at the point where I don't know what else to do...I've been trying many other avenues and things just haven't worked out for me..So I'm now putting my faith in the kindness off of others to please help me get thru this very troubling difficult times. Any donation of any amount or kind would be totally truly appreciated.
Thank You With All My Heart & God Bless!!
