- Hi, I’m not sure if I should or will follow through with this but it’s worth a try – I’ll let the universe and or God take it from here. I am a 68-year-old single lady with two young dogs who are “my everything”. We are VERY close – it’s been just me and them, 24/7 for the last 5 or so years. I was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in January 2024 (happy new year to me). I’ve had 2 surgeries and about 6 months of immunotherapy- all to no avail. I have given up, however I am going to try this one last endeavor before I ride off into that final sunset. There’s a cancer clinic in Phoenix who think they can help me – I want to be here long enough to care for my dogs, Mia and Teddy, until they move on to Rainbow Bridge. I sincerely believe that Mia, the older of the two, will not survive without me. She has bonded deeply and unwaveringly with only me. I have even considered euthanasia rather than abandoning her. I know she will pine away and die. I don’t want to put her through that. My medical insurance will not cover the treatment I need to keep me alive. I have changed the wording of “only the strong survive” to “only the rich survive”. Incredibly sad, unfortunately true. If you have tolerated my story to this point – may all blessings be upon you. Treatments will be approximately $7000 per week. That’s all the info I have at this time. With no idea how long it would take.
- That’s it. Me begging for money to keep 2 dogs alive and happy until we can all move on together.
Selfish? Yes it is but, but it’s my last wish and prayer in this life.
I thank you for reading this long and boring story. God Bless You. May God Bless us all for we surely are in great need – especially now, in a world gone absolutely mad.
