I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer on April 30, 2025. It has spread to some lymph nodes.
I have medical bills to pay to meet my high deductible, then the cancer treatments are covered.
It has been a dream of mine to be a mother someday. Chemotherapy would take much of that possibility away.
So, I am going through fertility treatments for egg preservation.
The cost for just the testing and egg retrieval is $5625.The cost for cryopreservation is $80/month starting 9/2025. I tried to get a loan to cover these costs, but didn’t get approved.
These are usually decisions a couple makes together. But I am single right now and hope to get married one day.
So, a good friend offered to help. I would rather pay that person back if possible.
I used most of my saved money, as well.
My job has been supportive with appointments over the last month. I have only worked there less than 7 months, though. This means I don’t qualify for FMLA benefits. I will work as much as I am able but will need time to recover. I will file for short term disability to cover some of my lost pay.
God is bigger than all of this. I trust Him to provide and to heal me as much and as fast as He decides.
My family was blessed through the help of many friend donations after a fire in November 2024. I really didn’t want to ask for help because I don’t want to be greedy.
Friends encouraged me to ask anyway.
So many friends have said, “Let me know how I can help.”
This is one way that you can help.
I don’t know how my journey with cancer treatments will go, but I know that God is covering me.
