CANCER SUCKS and I could really use some help.

Hello, my name is Sue Shepherd (Rosen)

Those of you who know me know I almost never ask for any help. 

But I have had a rough go of it lately, details below, and now, I find myself really stretched for funds and just don't see a way out this time; especially as I'm now 70+, alone and with no savings, which I won't elaborate on as to why). I don't have a ton of credit card debt, but enough that I don't want to add to it and make that debt unmanageable as well. I'm just needing a bit of supplemental help to get through all this.

I also know I'm not the only one going through something like this and that the state of things today have become challenging for so many of you or your family's well being, but I need to swallow my pride and reach out to appeal to anyone who might be able to help me get through this most distressing time in my life.

Background

I had a double mastectomy at the beginning of December and have had one set back after another trying to heal. And then I had a freak fall in mid-January that resulted in 4 broken ribs in my back and 4 days in the hospital. I am still having a great deal of pain with them, as you may imagine, as well as my shoulder that I also hurt in the fall.

I had another outpatient surgery on Feb. 9th, to remove the tissue expanders that my body was rejecting. I will need chemo and 30 radiation treatments, to hopefully keep any future cancer at bay, once I'm healed. So, my copays continue to accumulate. 

Your compassion and well wishes mean as much or more than money. Thank you for reading this as it was a very difficult thing for me to put out there, so please reach out to me in some way. And my eternal gratitude if you are able to help me in any way.
