Support My Mom's Fight Against Stage 4 Cancer

I have always known my mother to be a hardworking and independent woman. It is heartbreaking to see her now, barely able to get out of bed, sit up, or stand for more than an hour without assistance. She relies heavily on pain medication just to manage her day and attend her medical appointments.

In June 2023, my mother, Ralphina Tomah Eastman, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She followed all the recommended treatments—changing her diet, undergoing chemotherapy, double mastectomy surgery including having some of her lymph nodes removed, followed by radiation and immunotherapy. Despite her determination, the pain continues after the surgery and during treatment.

Doctors initially attributed it to scar tissue healing, which is common after surgery.

However, in October 2024, I had to rush my mother to the emergency room due to unbearable pain. A scan revealed that her cancer had metastasized, spreading to other parts of her body and had progressed to Stage 4 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She became bedridden and is now in constant pain. The news was devastating to us all.

Your generosity and prayers mean the world to us during this difficult time. Any contribution will help provide the care and resources she needs as she continues her fight. Thank you for your kindness and support.
