Lets help Arii defeat breast cancer again!
Donation protected
I met Arii while we were both getting chemo. I arrived before her. When Arii arived she sat across from me. We started talking after a short time and learned eachothers stories. Found out we are both aquarius and that we had both lost our moms. I was triple positive and she was triple negative. I was 42 and she was 20. Despite the age difference we are sisters fighting against this wicked beast, breast cancer. As I will be finishing my treatment Tuesday Arii will be beginning her treatment Thrusday for a recurrence of breast cancer. Less than a year after she won her first battle. Don't worry, shes tough and is taking all of the right steps to beat it again!
Let me tell you about this amazing, beautiful, intelligent and sweet young lady. Don't let her fool you, she has a tough exterior but she's a big ole sweet softy who loves and cares for everyone in her life. Arii is currently in school to become a Registered Radiation Therapist at Texas State to treat people battling cancer. She was in this program when she was diagnosed the first time just days before her 20th birthday and had done her clinical round at Texas Oncology where she then became a patient. Arii has continued working part time and going to school full time, and doing quite well I must say. She is very driven and holds herself to high standards. We aquarians are secretly very competitive, mostly with ourselves, but we want everyone else to do just as well. Arii has one year left of school and you better believe that she will not let cancer get in her way.
Arii will start 6 rounds of chemo, 1 every three weeks Thursday July 9th. This will most likely be followed by radiation. Along with triple negative breast cancer Arii also has genetic mutations that put her at a greater risk so she will be adding additional therapy that focuses on a holistic approach to help boost standard treatment but will also help with the brutal side effects of chemo.
Throughout this coming journey Arii will need your support. She is her primary source of income. She does get some support from family but they can only do as much as they can. She is also a very conteincous spender. She saves her money and does not go out and party like most young people her age. She always says she was supposed to be born int he 60s of 70s. True. However she will need assistance to pay for the holistic therapy, rent, food, unexpected school expenses, which there is always something and anything else that may come up.
My goal is to decrease as much stress for her as possible so that she can focus on school and her cancer treatment. Please help with whatever you can. I love this young lady so much and can not wait to see the amazing things she does with her life!
