Help Danielle Continue to Fight

Dear family and friends - A year ago this month Danielle finished the very aggressive chemotherapy treatment for her diagnosed stage 4 breast cancer.  Thankfully she was able to resume her normal daily work and activities, keeping at bay the tumors in her body with daily hormone therapy treatment, a monthly injection to block the production of estrogen, weekly blood tests, and CT and/or PET scans every three months. Her last PET scan done this past week (Monday, July 30th.) reveals the tumor in her breast has substantially grown again.  Just when we thought her chemo days were over, her medical oncologist has indicated Danielle needs to start chemotherapy again as soon as next Tuesday, August 7th.  Danielle has been able to maintain health insurance and hopefully will continue to work as long as she is able, but depending on the side effects of the new chemo, she may have to take time off from work without pay, making co-payments for medical procedures and  financial responsibilities an eminent hardship in the next six months during her chemo treatment.  Danielle is a fighter and a strong woman; she supports herself and has even picked up a part-time job on the weekends to make ends meet, but with this new challenging fork on the road, I once again would request your kind generosity in helping Danielle’s continued fight for her young life against this monster inside her.  Thank you everyone for your thoughtfulness, support and most of all the prayers for Danielle.  May God’s Peace be with you always.  Danielle's Mom.
