My best friend was diagnosed with cervical cancer a little over a year ago. According to testing it was stage 2 aggressive. She went under intensive radiation and chemo which did little to her cancer cells. Finally they performed a hysterectomy this past fall. Her surgery knocked her off her feet and caused several complications. This past week her biopsy results came back and the cancer is still there. She will be undergoing chemo and radiation again this coming new year.
My heart breaks for her. She is a single mother to three children. One is Autistic and one of them lost her father almost two years ago to cancer. My friends life is anything but easy. She is currently living in a state that offers little resources and since she is unable to work she is struggling more than someone should. I wish there was more I could do to help. Since there is very little I can do here states away from her I am spending my spare time researching everything I can in her area and looking for help in every nook and crany that I can. One of the things I'm doing to help her along the way is setting up a donation site so that maybe I can get some food in her house and maybe a bill or two paid. I know money is tight for everyone so if nothing else I am just asking that you pass this around.
As of last week her insurance refused to pay for a very much needed pet scan. News such as this is such a blow to her. I will make sure to keep my readers updated through here and my donation site.
Prayers, wishes, and thoughts are greatly appreciated for her.
