I found out I have an early stage of cancer and going through chemo. As many of you know. It wipes you out. Both physically and mentally.

Of course I have good days and bad. The headaches from the side effects probably hit me the hardest and some days I pray for relief. Just so I can get out of bed.

I've lost my hair and parts of my eyebrows. I know it sounds bad but I hate looking in the mirror. I feel like a freak at times but I know it will eventually pass. I have an amazing group of friends, coworkers and family who offer me unlimited support and I don't know where I would be without any of them.

Unfortunately, it's not cheap. Even with insurance, the bills are piling up and of course that stresses me out even more. My sister suggested I create this account as a way to help offset some of the expense.

I don't know how much it will cost in the end. It could be more than I have as my goal or it could be less. But since I didn't have an idea, I choose my favorite number. Seemed to be a good number to start with.

I'm one of the lucky few. I will get through this. I know there are many out there who do not have the same diagnosis and I pray for them and their families daily. One day there will be a cure for everyone! Until then, I will keep the faith!

Thank you to everyone for the help and support. It's not something that can be done alone!
