Hey Everyone. My name is Lori Mikesell and I am asking for your help.
I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer in September of 2018. I was devastated when I was told I had cancer as I was only 41 and the mother of 5 children. My youngest child had just turned 1 in July. There was no way I could have cancer......The doctors all assured me it was very treatable and we would do the Chemo and surgery and I would be back to my life in a few short months.
Well, that did not happen. As I was supposed to be finishing up the last of my treatments in March of 2020, I was diagnosed yet again with more Breast Cancer. Only this time it was not only a very aggressive difficult to treat form but it had also metastasized to most all of the lymph nodes in my chest and collar bone and also my spine. I am now Stage 4 and there is no cure and very few treatment options available with the type of aggressive cancer I have. I have started radiation and it is making me very ill. I have lost 17 lbs., the radiation splatter has caused my esophagus to swell making it very difficult to eat or even drink. The tumors in my collarbone and neck area are pressing on nerves and causing me to suffer with intense pain most all day every day. I feel in my heart that the treatment course I am on now is harming me more than helping me.
So why keep doing it you might ask? Well the simple answer is it is my only option. Unfortunately, in the US the insurance companies dictate what care you chose. The standard protocol is what is offered.
Well, I decided the standard was not working for me. I began to research and talk to peoplehttps://hope4cancer.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwvtX0BRAFEiwAGWJyZFnMOTj_pc9vVM5OYvKwaLvth0MR16uGuD8B2mroeeuOh85eTYk_YxoCXyQQAvD_BwE
that I felt were authorities on health and healing. I also began to pray, I was praying for relief from my pain, for a better way, for my life to be spared. That is when I was led to Hope 4 Cancer. I knew immediately that this was the answers to my prayers. I knew I had to get myself there for the treatment they offer. That is why I am asking for your help. I need to raise $37,000.00 to pay for the treatment. I know this treatment will save my life. Please pray for my family as we tackle what seems impossible. We know that God has big plans for my life and with him all things are possible even this huge goal.
I know in my heart that I am meant to be here on this earth for as long as possible to be a wife to my amazing husband and a mama to my 5 children Cole, Cameran, Gracie, Josie, and Rowan. I need to see them graduate, get married, have families of their own. Please consider donating to give me back my life.
BUT the LORD stood with me and GAVE me STRENGTH
