Cancer Treatment for Alisha
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Alisha and I am 29 and my life just got turned upside down. About 7 months ago, I started experiencing symptoms and they were worrisome but I chalked them up to getting older. Well, come December and January, symptoms got worse. I was experiencing fatigue, nausea, and pretty severe stomach pains. I then decided it was time to pursue answers, so at the beginning of February 2023 I started setting up doctor appointments. Those appointments led to scheduling a colonoscopy and endoscopy for March 10th. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, my job chose to terminate me based on attendance due to my health on March 8th. It was shocking, to say the least, but I did have other things weighing on my mind at the time. I went ahead with my colonoscopy and endoscopy as planned and the diagnosis of those procedures was that I had colon cancer. They say I have a 7 cm malignant tumor in my colon and here I am with no insurance and as we are all aware, that is going to make my already difficult diagnosis 10x harder. I am not only going to be struggling physically, but I will be struggling mentally and financially. I don't really ask for much from the people in my life, but I am beginning a new chapter where things are going to be very hard on me and anything helps. I appreciate all the people who have already reached out and offered their assistance. This is a scary time but I am confident that I will beat this because I have the most supportive people ever backing me up. Any money received will directly go to my medical bills as I pursue cancer treatment. We got this guys!
