My name is Lindsay Beech, and I am fighting breast cancer. I am
currently 31 years young and a mother of two beautiful children. In
2013 I was diagnosed with BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic breast cancer, my
life changed at that point. I started chemotherapy in January 2013,
followed by a radical mascectomy in July 2013 and then 25 radiation
treatments in August 2013. I was naive enough to think that my fight
was over at that point, in June of 2014 I found that my cancer had
moved now to my brain and it is fatal, the doctors tell me I have 2
months to live, which I just can't accept, they also tell me I still
have breast cancer and some cancer in my lungs as well. It has been a
major struggle to accept the fact that I can no longer work, and now I
have huge medication and travel expenses. I am trying to raise money
to help with some of these costs, as well as have some money to leave
for my family if and when I pass. I can't imagine leaving this world
with my family in a finacial crisis that my sickness has created. I
am a very physically strong and have worked out at the gym through all
of my treatments, only taking a day or two off after my treatment
days. I can recall trips to the gym where I could barely walk, but I
forced myself to work out as I thought that this would help my cancer
recovery. I thought if my body was strong I could fight my cancer
better. I am not giving up my fight and if it is possible I will
prove the doctors wrong on their estimations of the time I have
remaining. I have so much to live for and am too young and just not
ready to leave this world. My children have had such a hard time the
last two years and I want to make the rest of my days with them as
happy as possible. This is where all of the genorous people out there
come into this scenario, please if you can donate anything to my cause
it is very much appreciated. Thank you all so very, your support on
and off this site has been so amazing. We have had a trip recently
donated, as well as some passes to local amusements, so we have the
fun covered. The money raised will get me the medication and
nutrition I need, as well as leave money for future costs. Thank you all.
