Nicole the cancer slayer!

Hello , my name is Nicole Cowan. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in March 2013, of course the cancer was aggressive and of course ALL the treatments( Dr's appointments, biopsy, MRI's, PET scans,chemotherapy, port placement, bilateral mastectomy and radiation) cost a pretty penny without insurance! I was blessed to be able to work for majority of the time I went through my treatment but still no insurance due to pre-existing conditions. I came through like a champ,went into remission in June of last year,woot! I landed a great job; benefits and started focusing back on family then the other shoe had dropped....re-diagnosed with recurrent breast cancer near my right lung from a unscheduled PET scan in March of this year. So I was immediately scheduled for a bronchialscopy biopsy and a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy due to my body was still producing estrogen, ain't that a blimp? Now I must start back on radiation for 33 session five days a week for 6 to 12 weeks. I have a nine year old daughter to look over especially more diligently because of me having the BRACA gene she is a high risk. Because of the added surgeries and treatment I am unable to finish paying off the incurred medical bills from two years ago let alone the medical bills for this year, so I ask you to help a single mother enjoy the life of her growing daughter without the worry of cancer. Help me slay cancer!
