SHANNON MEYERS ONGOING BATTLE WITH BREAST CANCER
Donation protected
Shannon is my daughter and was diagnosed with breast cancer in September of 2023. She cuts hair for a living and worked up until the day before her Double Masectomy. She is also a single Mom, her son is 20 and is in the picture above, and her daughter is 11 years old. The surgery went OK and she's dealing with it better than I ever could and has finished the first 4 rounds of the worst Chemo Treatments, know as The Red Devil. And is now on the 2nd round of Chemo, which will be once a week for 12 weeks, and isn't going as well as expected. She's behind 2 weeks now due to a bad reaction to it so they are trying a different kind of Chemo Treatment and we are crossing our fingers!! After that is all done she will then be going in every day for 6 weeks to get Radiation Treatments. Then hopefully a couple months after that she can start the Reconstruction Surgery. So as you can see it's pretty bad and she has a long road ahead still. But as I said she's handling it pretty good, of course she does have some bad days!! Who wouldn't!! Our problem now is, she is not able to work and is living with me off of only my pay and we have gone through both of our savings and it's getting tougher to pay everything every month. She also lost her car because she couldn't make the payments and mine is on it's last leg, not sure how much longer it will last. When it dies, it will be the bus for both of us, which just sucks!! So any help you could lend would be so much appreciated, I can't even begin to tell you how much!!! Thank you for reading our story and Thank you a million times if you can help!!
Sincerely,
Shannon's Mom
