Jaime was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer (Stage 4) on September 20, 2017. (Jaime's friends & family have created this gofund me for her.) This is Jaime’s 2nd battle with cancer in December of 2015. She was diagnosed with a triple negative breast cancer. She went through 8 rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy, many rounds of radiations, and had several lymph nodes removed. The doctors beli
eved Jaime to be cancer free in August 2016. The cancer has come back and is more aggressive than ever. The metastatic cancer is not curable. Jaime will fight this for the rest of her life. The metastatic breast cancer has spread to several places. Through many tests and procedures lately, they have determined that there are cancer lesions on the top of her spine, mid spine, low spine, right hip, pelvic bone, and several places in her liver. Jaime is in extreme pain. The tumors are putting too much pressure on her bones which is causing them to weaken and fracture. She is also having muscle spasms, nerve pain, and nausea. Everyday tasks are very difficult for Jaime to complete. She is unable to work. Her return to work is unknown. This is the hardest time in Jaime’s life and she needs the love, support, and prayers of her friends & family more than ever. It is very important that we help Jaime focus all of her energy on keeping her mind and body strong. This is not the time for her to worry about financial burdens. All money raised will go to support her everyday needs and medical expenses as she fights this battle. Insurance has been covering the majority of the medical expenses. We are having a difficult time getting them to cover the prescriptions. Insurance will not cover trials or alternative medicines. We will need to start raising money for these as well. Her current treatment plan is as follows:
- 12 weeks of Chemotherapy (Currently in week 3)
- 10 treatments of radiation over 2 weeks (treatment #4 was today)
- Blood transfusions (treatment #1 was today)
- Bone strengthening medicine (treatment #1 today)
- With positive results from the chemo and radiation, she will be able to start a trial in 9 weeks. It is incredibly important that Jaime stays positive and keeps her body healthy enough to be a candidate for the trail. Jaime has changed her diet to a large amount of protein, fruits & veggies, and complex carbs (No Processed foods). We have set up a meal train for her. Hoping to provide 3 dinners per week or easy frozen meals that could be cooked in a crock pot or oven. The link to Jaime's meal train:
