Kelsie Needs help to live through her CancerBattle

Hello, I hate being here Writing this. But at this point it's an absolute need.

On June 11th 2023 I took what I thought was my last chemo treatment for Stage 4 Classical Hodgkins Lymphoma. I had a giant tumor in my chest that had completely moved my trachea over. I could not eat or drink anything by time someone finally took it seriously. It had displaced my heart and it was pushing down my lungs. Doctors described it as a very large porterhouse steak. And a small tumor in my left lung. It was a year long Battle and at the end I was completely bedridden. I didn't even know how to work my phone because my brain was so fried. Every bone and muscle in my body was in extreme pain from months of high intensity chemo.

My husband had to take off work for months and change jobs from long haul trucking. We had to max out all our credit cards. Use all the money saved just to get me through treatment. Because our 4 kids couldn't possibly take care of me. My oldest son is disabled and my oldest daughter is autistic.

And then I started recovering.I was back to weight lifting.

I was filling out applications for jobs. I had lived!! I was in a lot of pain, in massive debt,but I had lived.

And then it came BACK

My symptoms from the original cancer started coming back. Night sweat's, high resting heart rate, itching that can't be resolved with ingested medication or topical,

and a really bad pain in my chest.

And then a new lump showed up.

I went and saw my oncologist. And my doctor told me my cancer was back. And I needed to do something called I.C.E. regimen with a stem cell transplant.

We're still in debt from the first fight.

We're living paycheck to paycheck. Trying to pay off the debt from the first time with nothing left in the bank account in between.

I had the stem cell

ransplant. 3 hellish months in Seattle my husband and 3 younger children in Aberdeen. 8 hours of chemo a day for 4 days and a VERY strong hour chemo on day 5. A days break and then the very painful stem cell infusion. They completely wiped my immune system. Childhood immunizations, gone. And then on Mother's Day 2024 , I lost my insurance.

We need help.

We need help with gas money. Money for the stem cell transplant. Money for the medications that insurance isn't going to cover. And scans they won't cover untill it's to late. Last time my care was impacted greatly by the fact they wouldn't Authorize a scan I desperately needed.

It's hard enough fighting cancer. But I feel like I'm killing my family with debt. So, I can survive.

All I want in life is to see my kids grow up. And not have to leave my husband devastated.

So, please help. All money will go to my treatment , getting to and from my treatment. Also,other costs for things I don't even know I need right now.

If you can't donate please share everywhere. Thank you for your time.
