Cancer is no JOKE! Need Help

Donation protected
Hi, I was diaganosed with breast cancer in September 2016. It is not detected by a mammogram. I lost my very own Mother, many aunt's, uncle's, countless extended family members and even lost my best Friend Kathy, this last year to this monstrous disease. Cancer has claimed many lives, lost so many people.I am not the only one.......who's lost....... loved ones to Cancer. I'm pretty sure whom ever is reading this right now, YOU TOO have lost someone dear to you from Cancer. This disease is horrible, it breaks down your body, it breaks down your loved ones & it takes all of your money. I now have these ENORMOUS medical bills to pay and because of this disease have fallen behind in several bills including household, car note,and medical. I am a retired postal worker and get social security but as of 2016 it’s been very hard with all my medical bills that have piled up. I do not qualify for any state assistance and my income does not even come close to covering all my bills. I am now at risk for homelessness and due to struggling financially........ Sadly, I even had to rehome my baby, little dog Molly because Physically & financially I cannot take care of her anymore. Molly was the only companionship I had here at home on a daily basis. I live all alone. Anyone who lives alone and has a Pet knows how close you can get to them. Molly would comfort her when she would sit there and think about Dying from this disease. There's been times when she would be crying and Molly would come walking up to her and comfort her the only way a Dog can, By showing lots of unconditional Love. Now Cancer has even made me loose my dog it's almost like Cancer has even taken my dog from me. Is Cancer done with me yet? Unknown. I will be taking Chemo meds from up to five years to the rest of my life. If it comes back it attacks the stomach. I am diagnosed with Hormonal Breast Cancer as of September of 2016. I have had Double Mastectomy (Both Breast's Removed) in November of 2016. She was working towards getting expanders and new Breasts soon to help myself feel complete and more like myself. Now one of the expanders popped and I will have still another surgery on November 28th. "My insurance is covering this operation". But is rejecting the meds. Hopefully this surgery goes well and I end up feeling a little more like herself and won't feel like a part of my body is missing. I've had numerous health issues for years and have had about 8 surgeries within the last 1-2 years. One of those surgeries was a spinal fusion on my vertebrae due to the fact I have degenerative Disc Disease. That was a very painful surgery to recover from.My right knee is also very bad as it’s bone on bone which causes me a lot of pain and has trouble standing or walking very far. I use a cane everywhere I go. Sometimes I even need a walker on days that my pain is too much to walk with just a cane. I have been diagnosed with glaucoma and cataracts in both eyes. I have had surgery on both of them, 1 eye at a time. Now that surgery is very uncomfortable, you can't scratch your eye when it itches! I also currently have trouble with my teeth, my old upper dentures do not fit my mouth anymore. They are causing me to gag and have even rubbed the roof of my mouth raw. I need new dentures that cost $800.00. The bottem teeth have to be repaired because the chemo meds and osteoperous shots reject each other and can cause lock jaw. I am telling you all of this Because, I am in need of help Desperately. I would like to thank you for your time & consideration. Thank you for reading the shortend version of my recent struggles and Thanks to everybody who finds it in their hearts to donate. Anything and all help will go to; Medical Bills, My Rent, My household bills, Gas, Groceries & Personal hygiene items. All amounts are welcomed with open arms. The smallest amounts do add up. I will post updates to u you all on bills caught up on, what bills that have been paid and what ever items I can afford! God Bless you & Go in peace.
