Help Me Fight Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer
Donation protected
I am in dire need of your generosity to aide in my medical bills & recovery supplies.
I'm a Type 2 Diabetic (genetic), Hypertensive, Asthmatic (since 2 years old), have L4 & L5 Arthritis, Degenerative Disk Disease on my L4-L5, a hairline fracture & bone spurs on the neck of my left leg's pelvic bone joint, and last January 2021, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer on my Left Breast ( ER+, PR-, HER2+, Invasive, Aggressive) which has spread to my left axilla lymph nodes & liver.
On February 18, 2021, my Oncologist informed us that my CT Scans revealed that I have Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. There cancer tumors on my lower left breast, left axilla lymph nodes, & more than 8 noticeable cancer lesions all over my liver (there are smaller ones too), which is inoperable.
We were also told to pray for the healing of my liver because there is no known cure for breast cancer tumors in the liver.
UPDATES:
As of 2023, I have gone through 8 months of Chemotherapy, continuously having Kinjinti & Perjeta every 21 days after the 8th month of chemo to date.
God granted me a miracle by clearing my liver of ALL the tumors all over it.
I am also undergoing treatment L3 retrolisthesis, commonly knownas slipped disk, awaiting to be scheduled for surgeries for Carpal Tunnel Release (both hands) & Ganglion Cyst removal (right wrist), & ongoing treatment for the pains from my pelvic joint to all my toes caused by the slipped disk & bone spurs. I was also diagnosed last March 2023 of the Degenerative Disk Disease from L3-L4, L4-L5, & L5-S1. It was only my L4-L5 before.
Scheduling my orthopedic surgeries is taking time because we are waiting for my A1c to decrease. I have been & still am on Humalog 50/50 (insulin), & Trulicity (to drive my A1c down) because my glucometer readings are in the range of 300-400+ even after fasting for 12 hours or even longer.
Our household's sole income has drastically decreased to 2/3 or less because of the CoVid-19 pandemic, & even 3 years after the start of the pandemic, nothing has improved on the financial side.
Neither of us are on disability, or on any government subsidy.
We live as simply as we possibly could. We are barely handling our monthly expenses (medicals, utilities, food, our furbabies' food & Veterinary Care).
Our lives is still a struggle with my cancer treatments (chemo, scans, prescriptions, etc...), & both of our other illnesses.
The medical expenses just keep piling-up because I want to survive.
So far, all my tumors have been surgically removed, I have gone through left mastectomy, left lumpectomy, & Salpingo-Oophorectomy all at the same time back in 2022; however, we still need to continue the fight for my life.
My Kinjinti & Perjeta infusions continue every 21 days, and I take a new estrogen suppressor daily. These help stop further breast cancer tumors from forming anywhere in my body, & killing me.
We were told that my type of breast cancer's progression is towards forming tumors in my brain, which the infusions are working against.
We sincerely appreciate & are very grateful for any financial assistance, and prayers that you have shared, & can share.
God bless you & your family!
Xoxo,
Marge
