Hi, my name is Donna Ouellette, and I have Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (mTNBC). The cancer has now progressed to my liver, lungs and paratracheal lymph nodes. There are no viable solutions left in Canada for me.
However, I am not giving up.
There are promising, cutting-edge immunotherapy treatments being offered in other countries—particularly in Mexico and Germany—that could cure this cancer. These treatments are incredibly expensive, which is why I’m turning to the kindness of others for help. If I do not receive this treatment, my cancer will grow and metastasize further, ultimately leading to my death.
Asking for financial support is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. But I don’t want to die—not yet. I want to keep fighting. I want to spend more time with my loved ones; I want to be here to watch my precious grandson grow up.
My friends and family have come together to create a fundraiser on my behalf. Together, on this Instagram account, we’ll be sharing updates about my cancer journey, my treatments, and how your support is helping me hold on to hope.
If you’re able to donate or simply share my story, it would mean the world to me. Every gesture, no matter what size, brings me one step closer to more time, more memories, and more life.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Donna
