Help Michelle "Mickey" Cirillo (Waiting On Disability)
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Michelle Cirillo, most of you know me as Mickey. As you may know, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer in December of 2020. After rounds of Chemo, a double mastectomy, radiation, and then an emergency surgery following complications from the first surgery, I finally received a clean pet scan. (Although I was left with severe nerve damage and will eventually need another surgery to fix the damage). Then last year, came the 2nd scariest diagnosis since hearing "You have cancer", "You have cancer, again". In 2023, I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. I had surgery to remove the cancer, and they also removed a few lymph nodes to see if the cancer had spread at all. After finding out that it did spread, I will need to start more treatment in the upcoming months.
After having to be rushed to the hospital a few times for fainting, and between all of the damage and affects from both cancers and surgeries, my doctor has recommended that I stop working . I applied for disability and it will take a few months to kick. In the meantime, I'm way behind on bills and could use some help to catch up until the disability kicks in. Any amount would be greatly appreciated, and I can't express enough how thankful I am to the community I've had around me helping me weather these storms the past 4 years.
UPDATE: I recently found out the reason for the fainting spells was due to having 3 strokes. I am still currently waiting on disability to kick in as of June 2024, and haven't been able to work at all. I will also be starting another round of radiation in a few weeks. So the journey and fight are not over just yet. I need a little bit more help to hold me over until the disability kicks in. Any help during this time would be so greatly appreciated.
