Help Paige fight cancer

So I recently found out that I have a rare and aggressive type of cancer called DFSP.
Here's my story:
I 1st noticed a small lump on my shoulder at the beginning of the year which I showed to my doctor, who then referred me to dermatology but then we had the pandemic.
I watched it grow over the months & couldn't get a doctors app so went to the walk in centre who sent me to the hospital where I was tested & checked but due to lack of knowledge & specialist equipment I wasn't diagnosed.
Another couple of months later, this little lump was now the size of my fist, sticking out of my skin & starting to cover in big blood blisters(lump started at 2x2cm & now it is 11x11cm and counting)... The pain now unbearable.
I knew it was something serious so I researched & found a consultant that could diagnose me and perform the surgeries needed quicker.
I now finally have the DFSP diagnosis along with my tumor pertruding outside of my skin. I need my surgery privately due to urgency & will need sarcoma removal and corrective plastic surgery.
So any help is needed and welcomed.
Thanks,
Paige
