Breast cancer sucks

Hi I’m Jessika, 40 female. I’m a single mother of 1. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m fundraising to help with monthly bills (utilities, rent, groceries and medical expenses). I had surgery to remove the cancer but recovery is slow. I had to have an additional surgery because my incision opened and my expander (space saver) was exposed. We needed to ensure there wasn’t an infection in it. Good news, no infection bad news start recovery all over again. I have already been out of work for 8 weeks. I wanted to go back to work between chemo treatments but I work in healthcare (pharmacy tech) and don’t know if I can. Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared this page. I really appreciate all of you!! Thank you so much!

Update 6/29: I just talked with the plastics office and they believe I will need to the end of July to heal and before I can start my chemo.

Update 7/20

I still have not healed enough to get my drain out and won’t be able to go back to work before Chemo. I will still try to go back between chemo treatments.
