Fighting Like a Girl-#breastcancer

12/23/15 Update...
Yesterday was my one year mark for being diagnosed with breast cancer.
12/22/14 changed my life. I was facing something I knew nothing about. I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know how I would get through such a scary thing. I was afraid this would ruin my relationship with Jim. I didn't know if I was going to lose my job. I had a ton of things to worry about.
I decided I would face this one day at a time and do my best. Cancer was not going to take what is important to me.
I cannot express enough how support I got during this past year. My boyfriend Jim....OMG was he great during all of this. I can't believe how lucky I am to have him in my life. He and my daughter Sarah has been my rock. I love them both dearly.
My friends... new and old have really shown me important my friendship is with them. I appreciate all of you.
I posted this campaign up at work and receivedon't many donations. The support from people I don't know was and still is amazing.
I had a double mastectomy and am in the process of reconstruction. I have one more surgery in February to get my breast back.
I feel absolutely amazing. I have a new outlook on life. I have so much to look forward to and to be thankful for.

I still have many medical bills to pay. I don't make a lot of money being a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, so I do what I can to pay a little every month. The donations I have received so far have went straight to the bills.
I appreciate every cent!
I still need donations, so please help me wipe out this debt!

Love, 
Tammie ♡

Hello Everyone :)

As many of you already know, I had breast cancer and am currently going through chemotherapy treatment.
This is my fight and I am stronger than the storm. I can do this!!(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

December 22nd 2014 I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma breast cancer. I have two lumpectomies to remove the cancer from my left breast. They took my nipple :(
As you can imagine the amount of tests I had to go through once diagnosed....CrAzY! After I was healed from the surgeries, I started 20 weeks of chemotherapy. Again, as you can imagine my bills are through the roof. Half way through chemo I asked for an itemized bill...WHOA!! Over $50,000 @ the half way mark.  Insurance helps, but as you all are aware our Healthcare in this country sucks. I have a mountain of bills to pay.
I know a lot of you are thinking. ..why isn't Jim paying her bills.  Well, he helps me out by paying our household bills and his own. Cancer is expensive and we don't have an extra $10,000 hanging around! Lol
I still have 2 chemo treaments to go. After that I will be put on medication for the next 5 years, not sure how much that will cost. I am also having another surgery once recovered from chemo. A mastectomy will be a major surgery and I will be losing my income to recover.

 I have set up this account in the hopes that I can get a little help with my bills. This is my fight and I will be stronger than the storm. I just need a little help with the "clean up" after the storm.

I have had so much support during all of this and am extremely appreciative for every single one of you. You know who you are ;)

Please help me continue to fight through this storm and my financial "clean up".
