Cancer returned

Donation protected
Hi my name is Samantha oakley I am 28 years old and was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Dec of 2016 .after multiple trips back n fourth to ers for months bfre then I was finally gven a colonoscopy only to find out i had a tumor.. that a week after being in the hospital they told me the news that i had a tumor in my rectum which came back positive for cancer..my whole life changed from there .. I have a 2 year little boy who from being in so much pain I couldn't play with or do much with at all . I had to rely on friends and family for a long time to help me with him .. so from the diagnose we then set up chemo and radiation which I did 28 treatments of and have completed that ..i then on April 26 had sergury to remove the tumor..i was told that I could possibly wake up with a iliostomy bag . (A bag hooked to your side where they bring your intestines to the surface and u then have to poop out of that ) so going into sergury i tried to think positive and pray I didn't wake up with that ..unfortunatly I did ..so I spent a week and a half in the hospital it was rough but I got thru it ..i am now home tryn to get used to this iliostomy which is no fun i still cant do much with my baby boy .i do as much as possible to be with him as I can ...the good thing is this is only temporary doc says he will be able to reconnect .. As soon as I finish going thru more chemo .. I'm soon going to be starting more chemo which is also going to be rough on me.and my family. . . Right now our only income is my disability which is very little and doesn't really do much .my boyfriends mom helps us as much as she can but we are still struggling im not askn for much anything anyone can help with will b greatly appreciated I am not able to go back to work until I am cancer free it was stage 2 but they considered it stage 3 cuz of the cells left behind which is y i have to do more chemo to get anything left from sergury .. I was working for 9 years straight bfre all this and nver ask for anything I raised my little boy and did what i had to do to keep a roof and food and clothes on his back ..thank you to anyone who can donate and help us out .. god bless you all ...
