This week I started to get more pains in my stomach felt like I was doing stomach. Crunches. i talkes to the hospice nurse who then get with the hospice doctors and said that is a transition that my cancer is going through, and it's just gonna get worse. So they put me on steroids and gabapenton to help with the pain. the burning that it makes is worse than childbirth. And I'm not exaggerating. 1 day I'll be feeling really good thinking. I'm on top of the world, and maybe something's changing. And then the next day nope, I'm right back to hurting and feeling icky, and wanting to sleep and just feeling terrible. Last night I woke up with the burning in my Billie Rubi drainings site, and I actually cried for the longest time, and I have not cried about this pain. This much, ever, it is extremely painful. And people just don't understand and I don't ever want anybody to ever get this disease. It is not something I would want. My worst enemies to have. It is so bad.

Starting 2 more Antibiotics today. if these don't work, I will have to be hospitalized again.m and off Hospice. I dont want to spend my last days in a hospital. I want to spend with my family. I need extra prayers please . also, if u could donate to my final expenses I would greatly appreciate it. ive got a long way to go to get it paid for. thank you

An Update on My Journey — Choosing Memories Over More Treatment I have some difficult news to share, but also a decision that I have made with my doctors and my family. After talking extensively with my medical team about how aggressively my cancer has progressed, we discussed my options moving forward. Unfortunately, chemotherapy would likely make me much sicker without giving me more meaningful time. Whether I choose chemotherapy or not, my doctors estimate my life expectancy to be approximately 6–12 months. So, instead of spending the time I have left feeling even worse from treatment and lying in bed, I have chosen Hospice care and to focus on living. ❤️ I want to spend this time making memories with the people I love. I want to laugh, visit with family and friends, enjoy the little things, and make the most of whatever time God gives me. I don't want my remaining time to be defined by being sick in bed when I could be making memories with the people who mean the most to me. But I need some help along the way. Because I am no longer able to work, I have no income coming in. I still have everyday expenses and bills, including my phone bill, that don't stop just because I can't work. And as difficult as it is to say, I also need to prepare for the inevitable. One of my biggest concerns is being able to afford my cremation and funeral expenses when that time comes. I don't want my family to be left struggling financially because of my passing. That's why I'm asking for help. If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. Every $5, $10, $20—or whatever you can comfortably give—will help me take care of the necessities now and prepare for the expenses my family will eventually face. And if you aren't able to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful to me. You never know who might see it and be able to help. I know everyone has their own bills and struggles, and I don't take any help for granted. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for caring about me, for praying for me, and for helping me make the most of the time I have left. I'm choosing memories. I'm choosing family. I'm choosing to LIVE for the time I have left. And I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who helps me do that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
