Having completed 4 half marathons and 1 full marathon in the past year, cancer was never something even remotely on our radar. Cancer is for old people, or people who are in poor health. It could never happen to me. Guess again. In June I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. By the end of June, I had enough tests and scans and needles to make up for the past 33 years of overall good health. By the end of July, I had a chemo port and started weekly chemotherapy, plus immunotherapy infusions every 3 weeks.
It still seems surreal, but we are forever grateful for all the love and support we have received in these past few months. Our friends and family have done so much for us and we are overwhelmed with the generosity and love and prayers we have received. We are so fortunate to have great resources through Kettering Health and organizations like Pink Ribbon Good, and the Maple Tree Cancer Alliance. We are also fortunate to have stable jobs who are supportive and willing to work with us on things like work from home and flexible hours. We have good insurance to help cover the costs of treatments. We have access to transportation and are blessed to live close to the cancer center.
Many are not so fortunate. American Cancer Society is known for cancer research but they provide so much more than that. I did not understand until this summer the care and support that comes from organizations like the American Cancer Society. There are a multitude of programs they provide including transportation, lodging, support groups, and helping connect patients with free and reduced-cost resources such as hair loss and post-surgical products, meals, pet and childcare, and much more.
My goal is to raise funds but also awareness. I want to make sure some good comes from my experience. The funds I'm raising will sustain critical research and provide services for people trying to cope with their breast cancer experience. Please do not feel obligated to donate to this - I know not everyone can. But if you can, please know that your donation does make a difference for so many people who are struggling through one of the most difficult times of their lives.
Thank you for reading!
