Hello! I’ve been so ill this past few weeks and been hospitalized because of medical concerns. Found out that I have a tumor and it was already malignant. I have a Stage 2A Cervical Cancer and needs help ASAP. 🥺
GOAL: $1800
Hello! I'm not going to be able to provide any money (not lying when i say that I actually don't have any money🥲). But if it's fine with you, I can try reposting this ask and/or messaging it to other people.
Sorry that I can't send you anything, but I'm willing to do my best to help!
(I'll actually add tags to this post, to try to make it more visible. If you want me to change anything, just ask :D)

If you don’t know me, hey there I'm B.
December of 2022 u/mrtechnodad gave me the challenge of finding something good in every day, no matter how small. Since then I’ve been sharing monthly updates with a few of my good things from that month.
Anyone who's followed my updates has probably noticed that the title is different and I missed part of my usual intro.
That's because today's list only has one thing:
- I'm officially cancer free
After 708 days, countless hours of chemo, and 4 major surgeries, I have beat almost impossible odds.
Along my journey I've lost too many people who were important to me. Each of them gave me a new reason to keep going. My first roommate taught me how to be strong, how to push through the darkness. My second roommate taught me the power of compassion, how to use my voice to help others. A friend taught me how to laugh, how to see the fun in even the worst situations. And Techno, Technoblade taught me how to fight, how to win any war.
It's no secret I've struggled with survivor's guilt for almost as long as I was sick. I've asked the question, "Why them and not me?" so many times it's become a mantra. I've realized it isn’t about me or them. I think it's about finding what my purpose is. Their lives had purpose, they were full of love and joy. For so long I didn't think I had those things, that there wasn't a reason for me to still be here. I still have a purpose here. I think I know it. At least part of it.
I'm here to share my story. I'm here to share the good I see in every day. I'm here to live.
I'm alive to live.
And so are you.
Be alive. Wake up to wake up. Laugh, cry, sing, dance. Feel everything, sadness, joy, grief, shame, love. Watch the sunrise and live to see it set again. Then do it all again. And again.
Be alive to live.
Today I sat on a beach and watched the sunrise with the love of my life. For the first time in almost two years it wasn't tainted by the possibility of being my last. Instead the sun rose on the first day of my future. It's the first one of a lifetime of new days. Sunrises are no longer a symbol of bitter relief. Now they represent the promise of tomorrow.
I am beyond grateful to be alive. Since my diagnosis I was so sure I wouldn't make it. I had so little hope. Now my voice can shift from the cries of a fighter to the laughter of a survivor.
I am a survivor. Those are words I never dreamed of speaking.
Thank you to everyone who followed my journey. Thank you for your love, your support, and your endless compassion. Without this community my story would be very different.
Remember, "no matter how ridiculous the odds may seem, within us resides the power to overcome these challenges and achieve something beautiful. That one day, we'll look back at where we started and be amazed by how far we've come."
This morning I was to the point where I just want to stop chemo treatments, especially with this hospital, because almost no one listens to me about my body and decisions about my life
Having to advocate for yourself HARD while being a cancer patient is exhausting and I don't feel like it's a job that ANYONE should have to deal with, but especially cancer patients
My name's Samuel I'm 28yrs old and I'm literally fighting cancer... Lung, spine, brain, hip, female area, and under the arm cancer... It's been 3 months now... In and out of Vanderbilt hospital.... Doing radiation and chemo treatments has been extremely rough on me and my daughter.... With only one income it's hard on us... Mentally physically exhausted. I pleading for little contribution to help get some food stuff for my lovely daughter Camilla. If you spare some $5,10,15 or 20 dollars I will appreciate
Unlike other cancers, #sarcoma lacks public awareness because of its rarity. However, Apollo’s experts work tirelessly with cutting-edge technology to support patients living with such rare cancers, right from diagnosis, treatment, and beyond, because we #CareBeyondRare.
What’s on my bucket list? What are the things or dreams I want to accomplish or reach if I were to pass on too soon from a cancer or when I reach end of life care?
A bucket list is a list of things you want to do passing on or “kicking the bucket” and each one has his or her own unique bucket list.
Creating a bucket list is one activity a cancer patient undertakes to enhance his or her quality of life he or she hopes to do before “kicking the bucket”.
Sharing a few or several items on my bucket list that I hope to accomplish (I know afew of them might be impossible but I’m still praying I could).
Go and visit Australia (be with my Australian girlfriend in Adelaide)
Dye my hair platinum blonde
Attend a modeling workshop
Try shooting range or archery
Adopt another kitten
Visit my alma mater
Catch up with my best friend and bond with her
Make a fanfic
Visit Wizarding World Of Harry Potter (Universal Studio – Japan)
Own an Instax camera
Watch a live musical play (e.g. Les Miserables)
Give more gifts to Whisky or take him to a trip abroad (especially Australia).
Engage in cosplay events (and dress up like my favorite HP character – Draco Malfoy)
