Lindsey’s story
In late September 2019 Lindsey at the      young age of 31 got the worse news a      young mother of 2 would want to hear                “you have breast cancer”. That is when      this terrible journey started. The doctors wanted to start with some aggressive       chemo before surgery. So every 21 days  for 6 treatments she received                        chemotherapy, but the treatments also   would cause electrolytes to be off so         along with that she was receiving IV         magnesium. Once these treatments         were done it was the journey of a                  lumpectomy which Lindsey choose this   surgical option due to being so young       and the type of cancer. Surgery went well they removed the lump along with            multiple lymph nodes and healing went   as planned. Lindsey then started                   radiation treatments every day for 6        weeks and also a less aggressive                   chemotherapy. This went well until May of 2020 when she ended up with                  radiation burn causing her incision site to get infected. Lindsey ended up in the        hospital for a week receiving IV                    antibiotics. (Remember May 2020 was  mid-COVID so she was alone away from all family including her 6 year old girl and 9 year old son). Once the infection      healed she was able to continue with        chemotherapy. December 2020 Lindsey received her last chemotherapy                    treatment! Yay right?! Well yeah                   treatment is done, but the worry is there. So in March  2021 she went for her scans there is an area on the right THEY ARE                  CURRENTLY watching now. Lindsey         decided at that time it was just too hard  to always worry so has now chosen  to     have a mastectomy and then they rebuild the breast with your own tissue. The          doctors also felt Lindsey should have her ovaries removed due to the hormones so May 2021 she had that surgery.  Lindsey  is scheduled for her mastectomy June      4th in St. Cloud. Through all of this she    has not asked for any financial assistance or help at all, so we as her family and          friends have decided it’s time we just        step in and help out with some of the      medical costs  along with bills and travel expenses due  to being out of work, her     husband and kids having to stay in a           hotel during her surgeries in St. Cloud,     and also during the tough time during     COVID. Thank you all in advance for any    help you are able to give.
