1st Stage breast cancer

We need to raise money for health costs.  I have just been diagnosed with Invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer.  It has not reached my lymph nodes but is highly aggressive which means it grows fast.  I had surgery and they removed the tumor but in order to make sure I will need chemotherapy, radiation and a form of hormone therapy to get rid of any left cells.  

I also have hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and I have had a shunt implanted which I will need another surgery to put a new one in.  But, I cannot have this surgery until my cancer clears.  

My deductible and out of pocket have been met.  But when the new year comes I will have to meet them again and we will need to pay for everything until then.  Plus, whatever the insurance will not cover at all.

I am a very active person and I am upbeat I love life and hope to keep taking care of my children, grandchildren and husband.  I have been married 26 years.  

I have written a book but the publishing company I went through went out of business and its too expensive to find another one.  Plus, I do not know if I will have the strength to write until I get better.

My husband is working and he may be facing two knee replacement surgeries in the near future.  Which will mean more medical cost.

We love helping others and are not ones to ask for help.

We send prayers to all who suffer with cancer and other illnesses. 

Prayers to all who donate as well.
