Help me get back on my feet after breast cancer

Hello again. For those who may not know me my name is Lori and I continue to fundraise for myself and my daughter following my diagnosis of breast cancer.

A little over 1 year ago I was diagnosed with Invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer). After having a lumpectomy/partial mastectomy, the removal of 5 lymph nodes, 21 radiation treatments and calcium infusions my cancer is gone, but the side effects of the radiation and estrogen blocker have left me very broken.

My hematologist recently took me off of one estrogen blocker due to all of the side effects I'm suffering from. Hair loss, 30 lb weight gain, daily muscle and bone pain, hot flashes, mouth ulcers, multiple strokes, knee problems, difficulty going up and down stairs, depression, anxiety, PTSD and more have become too much.

Today I had an EMG on my left side and am beginning to understand why I have had so much pain and growing mobility issues. Today I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in my left hand, a pinched nerve in my lower back and severe nerve damage from my radiation. My neurologist will do an EMG on my right side in time, but believes the right will be equally as bad as the left is.

I'm really struggling with understanding why all of this is happening. I'm regretting choosing treatments that have now left me is so much pain and limited in so many ways. Unfortunately, we don't really have a choice. We are told what we need to do to live and we do it.

I continue to appreciate that I was able to live for Autumn, but question the quality of life that I now have from fighting it. How can this be?

Often I think what if I was given the option to remove the cancer, but decline radiation, infusions and estrogen blockers. How different my life could be. Instead I suffer daily with the side effects of the treatment to beat it. I can't help but feel robbed. Yes I'm alive, but honestly my life worth living has really been damaged.

I ask that you all continue to pray not just for me, but for everyone who is struggling with breast cancer. Pray for the cure so that others don't need to suffer and feel robbed.

Please continue to share my go fund me with others as the expenses of having had breast cancer have proven to be never ending and there has been no end in sight. Just when you think you might get ahead something else comes along.

Help me get caught up on my bills so that I can continue to move forward and not feel beaten and broken. Help me to continue to fight my fight and rise up.

Thank you in advance and with much Love,

Lori
