Shenel's Fighting Chance
Donation protected
I am Shenel Jolly-Bethel from beautiful Dominica.
I am a teacher, a hobbyist, a worshiper; I enjoy writing and performing poetry, I love working with my students to accomplish goals...and I like celebrating my culture.
My fight with cancer began in 2015 when I was diagnosed with stage ii Invasive Ductal Carcinoma after years of struggling with hormonal ailments. I had just completed my studies and was looking forward to begin a new life where I dreamt of success and fulfillment, however I found myself having to embark on the biggest challenge of my life yet.
After diagnosis I had prompt treatment in the form of surgery followed by adjuvant therapy but had complications and could not continue chemotherapy.
In 2016 I was diagnosed with a macroadenoma tumor in my brain which was the culprit of the complication.
In 2017 I had a relapse of the cancer at stage iii. It was followed by yet another surgery, and this time around complete adjuvant therapy of chemo and radiation and hormonal therapy.
In 2019 after having complained of a chest pain that wasn't going away since August of 2018 I was again diagnosed with re-occurrence of cancer this time with metastasis to my chest wall and bone and some of my lymph nodes; however I am not deterred! I have been a diligent warrior over the years and I am determined to continue to fight.
I have begun a new set of treatment that is not available in my homeland and is quite expensive. As you can imagine I have completely exhausted all finances over the years and so now I am seeking the assistance of those my story may reach to help me continue to fight.
I would be grateful for any assistance available. Thanking you with all my heart
