Help Lisa Marie through her TaTa cancer journey

Hello family, friends, old friends, future friends, friends of friends & friends of family!

I have recently been diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer. I have nick-named my tumor Ursula, because "she" is mean and ugly. I have a 4+ cm mass in my left breast. It's a triple negative cancer which means it is growing aggressively and has a bigger chance of spreading. Next week I am getting a chemo port, so that I can get chemotherapy every week for the next 6 months. The chemo is intended to shrink Ursula and kill any potential "loose" cancer cells. I am scheduled for many tests and scans this week that will determine if her tentacles have spread or not spread. My future most likely entails a mastectomy.

I don't like asking for anything, yet I recognize that I am going to need your help. Not knowing for months that I have had cancer, I have already been struggling to work my normal hours to support myself. I am certain that the next few months will be extremely hard on my body, and I am not certain if I will be able to work at all during the treatment. It would be a great relief to not have to worry about how I will survive financially, as well as fighting to survive Ursula. My basic living expenses are around $3,000 a month, and I will also have a lot of extra expenses moving forward. Aside from taking care of myself, I also need to take care of my fur-babies, one of whom has special needs. One of my biggest worries is trying to make sure my animals are taken care of.

I know it's a time of struggle for all of us these days just to make ends meet. If you are able to help in anyway by donating or sharing, it would be so greatly appreciated.

Accepting financial help, prayers, hugs, cool wigs, dark chocolate, and all the love you have.

Love & Gratitude,

Lisa Marie
