Melissa George Breast Cancer Fight

This is Melissa (Lisa) George, my mother-in-law. She just turned 51 and got quite the surprise for her birthday. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. At first, she didn't think it would be bad, but after extensive testing, she was officially diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer on March 16, 2018. Melissa is a fighter, but she needs assistance with this fight. 

Fortunately, some of her medical bills will be covered by the medical plan she is on with the local clinic. However, because of limited funds, much of it, she will have to pay for herself. this includes medications, over the counter medical needs, equipment to help her through recovery and the chemo/ radiation process, as well as other things along the way. The main thing that she is going to have to pay for is the chemotherapy and radiation treatments. 

Along with this, she will not be able to write through much of it, which is how she makes a living and since her husband will be with her through the journey, he will not be able to work as much either. So, this journey will take a toll on their coin purse and on what is going into it.
