Help me fight cancer
Donation protected
My name is Ana Arredondo, I am 39 years old. I'm a mother of two boys. My oldest son is 9 years of age and my baby is 13 months - I love them so much!!! I found out I had cancer when my baby was 9 months old... Since then, our lives changed so much, it has been painfully difficult. During one of my yearly check-ups, my family doctor found a large mass in my breast - the size of a tennis ball. I was very scared and skeptical but, I didn't think it was anything serious or that I had cancer because I had experienced a similar mass the previous year when I was pregnant. As normal, I had a biopsy done and everything came back negative.
Sadly, I was less fortunate this time. I received the worse news of my life when my doctor gave me the results of my biopsy. I will never forget the day after my doctor came into our room and spoke to us. That day I had my two sons with me. My doctor was very direct when he gave me the results in front of my 9-year-old and baby. Instantly, my oldest son's reaction was heart-broken as he asked me, "mommy are you going to die?" I tried to calm him down but, I was breathless and powerless.
We are currently going through a very difficult time due to expenses and cost of my treatments, The treatments and chemo make me so weak. I wish I had the strength and mind to work but, I can't. My husband is the only one working. I never thought anything remotely to this would ever happen to me and my family... I'm only in my late 30s and my kids are so little.
This is a cry for help!!!!
Thank you so much and may Jehovah God bless your generous heart!
