Help my mom fight stage 4 breast cancer.
Donation protected
Hi,
My name is Andrew. I am the oldest of my moms 5 children. My mom is 42 years old and is a hard working single mom who hustles day and night to provide for us 5 children. She is also a preschool teacher with a lot passion for her job and the children she serves.
She was diagnosed back in September 2020 for stage 1 breast cancer. She had gone through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation up until June of 2021. Her doctor told her that she was cancer free and that she can return back to work and her normal life. In September of this year she was having chest pain so her doctor sent her for a PET scan. Unfortunately, her results didn't come back good. Turns out that her cancer came back and it went into her bones. She is now a stage 4 breast cancer. Her doctor had a plan for her which was to have her on chemo pills and 3 shots once a month to protect her bones and block her estrogen. She will have to be on this therapy for the rest of her life. She has to be very careful because her meds drops her white blood cells so her immune system is compromised. Her chemo pills called Ibrance are very expensive, which her co-pay is over $2,000 a month. It comes from a special pharmacy. She has medical as secondary and luckily it picked up the co-pay the first month. The second month medical denied it and she was so stressed because she did not have the $2,000 nor can she go without her medicine. Her doctor sent out a new request for authorization. Thankfully a week later after praying, her medication was delivered. Her doctor told her that it's hard sometimes with medical. Sometimes they'll approve right away. Sometimes they'll deny and ask for another request. Sometimes it can take months. My mom was blessed to have gotten her medication.

The reasons why I'm setting up this account for her is because I don't want my mom to ever go without her medication or have to stress about it. I don't want to lose my mom to cancer. I don't have the $2,000 every month to help her. So I'm asking everyone to help donate to help my mom fight her battle.
Anything is greatly appreciated. Thank you for all your gratitude. May God bless each and everyone. Please keep my mom your prayers as well.
