This video is for my GoFundMe account. It tells you a brief update to what has happened with my diagnosis and what is happening now. And Why I am asking for financial help right now.
To learn more about my cancer history, please continue to read.
Back in 2010 I had been diagnosed with stage 3b ER/PR positive, HER2 neg Breast cancer in my left breast. I had Chemo, Bilat Mastectomy, with expanders then implants place, Radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy plus Bilat, oopherectomy. After 2 1/2 yrs of treatment, I went 5 yrs with no KNOWN, sign of Cancer.
However, in 2016, I was diagnosed with a rare terminal melanoma. with no skin involvement. After chemo failed, a combo immunotherapy treatment every other week, kept me stable till this April 2018. I discovered a new chest wall tumor, plus a few other tumors.They said that my Breast Cancer had mutated, and returned as Metastatic (terminal) TN Breast cancer. Although my doctor insists that it is a totally different Breast Cancer from the first. Oral chemo failed. And I did Radiation for pain. My last Radiation was on Monday 11/19/18. I just stopped Taxotere due to my body not being able to tolerate the side effects anymore.Then I tried Gemzar, another failed chemo, then 3 others. Than I got an infection that took my left implant, and the doctors recommend Hospice.
I had no other options at this time, so I agreed to the Hospice. It started the same time that covid-19 lockdown took place. And after getting on the right treatments in Hospice, the infection went away. And I asked my team if I could go back to trying that other chemo, that I had not finished. But they said no. It would be too taxing on my body. I was devastated!
until my son showed me an article about a new chemo that was approved for treating triple negative breast cancer. It was later called Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy). I asked my team and they agreed for me to give it a try.
I have been doing Trodelvy for a few months now, and am about to have a Pet-scan to see how it is working.
This channel is all about the life of me and my 3 children. With our Lord leading the way, we support each other, as we fight our battles and celebrate the our victory, in a difficult world where me, a single mother who is in active treatment for not only 1, but 2 terminal cancers. I make videos about my cancer journey,personal trials, and some fun videos, and videos with my kids. Something to do to take my mind off of the cancer.
I now have a GoFundMe.com account -
