Linda's battle with ovarian cancer

Hi my name is Linda Lupo, I am 53 years old and was diagnosed with stage 3c metastatic ovarian cancer in September. I have always been independent and am very proud, I don't ask for help, I'm the one people come to for help, so this is very hard for me to do, but things have gotta to the point where I can't do it anymore. I wish I had family to lean on for help emotionally and financially but all I have are my children and they are in no position to help me except to listen, which I appreciate. My parents are both deceased as well as my only sibling and have been for many years, I have no grandparents or any other family. I have had many struggles in my life but I've always stayed strong and was able to overcome alot. I raised my 3 children alone after getting divorced from their dad. My dad was murdered when I was 14, my brother committed suicide at 28 years old, I gave birth to a premature daughter who passed a day later, and my mom od'd and died when I was 30 years old. I suffered mentally for a long time, but I finally was able to work through all the tragedy I've lived through about 3 years ago. I was finally at a good place in my life, I had a good job that I loved, I bought a car, my credit improved, I even quit smoking cigarettes. I had my health issues under control. Things were going well for me, then in July of last year I was having stomach pains that wouldn't go away, I went to the ER and was told I had a Mas in my lower abdomen. I remained hopeful but after the biopsy I was told I had stage 3c metastatic ovarian cancer. I have never felt so alone and discouraged in my life. At first I wanted to just give up, I thought all my family was gone maybe it's time for me to be reunited with them. I thought about how much I love my 3 grandchildren, my children and my boyfriend, they encouraged me to stay positive and fight this, so that's what I've been doing everyday for the past 7 months. I did chemotherapy, had a complete hysterectomy, had my appendix taken out, lost all my hair and had several complications after surgery that required a nurse visiting me daily for 8 weeks. I had to quit my job in October and am living on ssi which doesn't come close to paying my monthly bills. I am back to doing chemotherapy and this time it's making sick and having major pain in my bone marrow. I don't leave the house very much because having no hair really bothers me to the point that I don't want to see anyone. My bills are piling up and medicaid doesn't cover all my medical expenses. I don't know what to do anymore. I've always taken care of things in my life, but I'm truly at the end of options, sometimes I think it be better if I just let the cancer take over, I don't have much more fight left in me, not when everything else is falling apart. It was suggested to me that starting a go fund me might help take some of the financial burden off me so I can focus on my health, so as embarrassing as this is, it's what I need to do. Any donations will go to my medical bills, the rent , keeping my car and my overdue bills. I have 3 more months of chemo and hopefully I'll be able to go back to work. I wanted to try to work even part time while doing treatments but if I have income I will lose my medicaid which I need. It's a no win situation for me right now. Both my mental and physical health is suffering. I just want to get better and put this behind me, but if I don't get my financial stuff under control I'll never get back the positive attitude I need to fight this. So please I'm asking for a little help so I can be the healthy, strong me I used to be. Thank you for letting me vent my situation and I'm grateful for prayers and anything else you can do to help.
