This weekend was big for me & I was busy so I didn’t get to make a post but 6-24-23 marked my 4 year chemoversary. I will never be able to say cancer free due to the type of breast cancer I had so every year I celebrate another year of life.

I’m slacking on updates. October is a pink month. Get tested and stay on top of your health. You know your body so don’t let docs push you aside or ignore you.
Pink sisters support each other but every day we pray we don’t add anymore sisters but we do.

So food for thought. Remember I’m a only parent with my son & have a very large family & lots of friends.

My fundraisers & tshirt sales helped me with donations around $2000 in 6 months.
I still have 40 tshirts of 80 left with no interests to buy. 😞

******A dog needed vet bills got $4800 in 48 hours.******** and it wasn’t just one dog but I saw numerous.

I now have to work every OT shift I can to get back on my feet. I was supposed to buy a house last spring. My savings zero credit score fell & don’t know when I can get a home now.

Interesting 🧐

I have just finished another group of quartet test. I’m still NED. Sorry for not many updates, I’m working as much as I can to recover financially from last year. Cancer hits more than just physical & emotional. It ruins you financially. Savings gone, bills pushed off, min paid & credit cards maxed.

Our society sets up cancer patients to fail. If your not popular or connected no one helps you. People loose jobs, vehicles & their homes. The state/fed & other programs only help when your behind on ALL your bills, loosing your house/vehicle.

Last year my medical bills were $1.2 million. I have insurance tru my work but sat next to a man about 70 who was told his Medicare/state federal ? Insurance was refusing to pay for his chemotherapy. Life is precious & you never know how much till someone tells you, your not worth helping!!!!!!!

As happy as I am to share I also am sad & honored.

I have a beautiful chest tattoo of lace & a sugar skull. I got it after I left the fire service to honor all those I couldn’t save in my career.

The tattoo artist that did my tattoo lost his battle with cancer last year at the same time I was fighting cancer.

I am proud to have had him do my chest & will now add him to one of those who has gone to Heaven.
