Help my mother fight stage 4 metastatic breast cancer

  • Hi everyone,


    I wish I had better news.

    My mom was supposed to start radiotherapy this week, but her doctor is on leave and the resident doctors refused to take on her case, they are scared because it's too complex, but I will not complain anymore because it doesn't make any sense. So we wait. While she's in pain every single day.

    Her arm is still swollen and extremely painful. The lymphatic massages aren't helping. She can barely move anymore. And is sleeping a lot from the pills, she is taking DHC and fentanyl patches for the pain but it's like nothing.

    When radiotherapy finally starts, we're looking at 10-15 sessions. We live 120km from the Institute, that's around 40 euros per trip. We can't drive back and forth every day, so we'll need to rent a cheap hotel room nearby every 2 nights, which adds even more to the cost.

    She can't stay in the hospital alone. She can't hear well, she can barely move, and the nurses won't assist her beyond their duties, I don't have the heart to leave her alone there. I am her only support. I go everywhere with her.


    If you've ever thought about donating or sharing our story, please do it now. This is one of the hardest moments we've faced in 4 years.

    Thank you for still being here with us.

Description

Hello, I'm seeking help on behalf of my mother who is currently fighting stage 3 breast cancer. She has recently completed a round of chemotherapy and underwent a mastectomy, which involved the complete removal of her breast and affected lymph nodes from her arm and neck (22 lymph nodes), and finished radiation therapy. These treatments have taken a tremendous toll on her both physically and emotionally, but she continues to stand strong.

Previously, I used GoGetFunding to raise support for her treatment. However, the platform is taking high fees on donations (+bank), up to 9%, which has significantly affected the funds we receive.

These days I am also trying to recover all the updates I wrote on that platform about my mother's journey since December 2023 and to post them here. It would be a shame to lose them, as they might help others in the future or provide a complete story for those who want to follow my mother's treatment from the beginning.

Currently, our biggest concern is her lungs, which urgently need to be healed. If her lung condition doesn’t improve, I don't know if she will be able to resume her cancer treatment. We also believe that her treatment plan will need to be adjusted since she can no longer take Verzenio, but I will update you in September.

Any support during this challenging time would be deeply appreciated. Any contribution, regardless of its size, will make a difference for us.

Thank you for considering standing by us during this challenging time.

    I'm sorry it's not a lot, but I've been watching your videos for a while and I feel like I need to do anything I can to help your mother. I truly hope she gets better and lots of love to you both.

    Hi, I’ve donated to you before and i am very sad to hear that raising money has been tough for you. I do not have much to give but will keep you and your mother in my prayers tonight, and I hope your TikToks will reach more people so that funds may increase. God bless you and your mother, i wish you both the best.
