I’d like to thank you for taking the time to read this. I’d also like to thank you for sharing and donating. I’ve never had to create a post like this before for myself. I done one before to help someone else, but not me. I am the person everyone calls on for help. I’ve been blessed to help those through hurricanes with food and shelter, helped a neighbor after losing everything in a house fire, and during covid I was blessed to get a lot of needed supplies to give to those in need.
Now it’s me asking, asking complete strangers in what seems to be one of the most struggling economic times right now.
I go to the doctor every year and all my annual checks completed, so this came as a shock to me, I honestly thought I had breast cysts.
I was told to do more mammograms and ultrasound, that came back with “highly suggestive malignancies” not one, but two in one breast. Then I did a biopsy, and it was painful on the second tumor because it hit all the nerves.
June 3 rd the report read-Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I don’t remember much that day except, how do I tell my kids.
So here it goes:
I have breast cancer. I eat right, exercise, don’t smoke, do drugs and I social drink..well did. I pride myself on being healthy, and then this happened. I am an independent contractor and I only get paid while working. I am scheduled for a bilateral mastectomy July 16th and have co-pays due soon. I just replaced the transmission in my car, my rents due on the 1st along with other bills. There are things I need to buy prior to surgery and then I will need meds after. Every little bit helps.
I need help! God humbled me to say that, to ask. I am used to being strong and doing everything myself. But not this time. I will be out of work for at least 30 plus days on this go around, and even longer on the second surgery. So I am humbly asking for help for right now.
Thank you for your generosity and support during this difficult time in my life, and as soon as I can I will pay it forward.
