"Hey everybody! Let's support this dynamo of a woman, this bon-vivant, this artistic force of nature as she embarkes on her healing journey from cancer. Let's show her the love" - Lori Yates

One evening in May before going to bed, I found a lump in my breast.  I was assured that it was 95% a cyst and nothing to worry about, but asked that we get it checked out.  After weeks of ultrasounds, tests and biopsies, I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma aka Breast Cancer.  

One month after my diagnosis I had surgery to remove the tumour. I was not able to work for two months.  Thankfully it hasn't spread.  I am now getting ready to undergo both radiation and hormone suppression therapy starting next week.  I am not sure how I will react to these treatments and hope that the side effects are minimal. 

After talking to my friend Lori Yates, she had suggested that I should start up a GoFundMe campaign.  At first, I was hesitant, but after much thought, I realized that I do need some help with this cancer challenge. 

I am looking for support to help pay for alternative therapies including osteopathy, craniosacral therapy and work with a nutritionist. This way I can focus  on healing from radiation, the surgery and the stress of it all.   

I look forward to being finished with treatment and getting back to my life as a mother, an artist and an arts educator.  

Thank you all so much, this does mean the world to me.  

Lisa.
