Resources
I would be lying if I said that I could face this cancer diagnosis alone. Not possible in my mind… or at least it would be incredibly difficult. That’s why I am so grateful for these resources that helped me along the way and hopefully they can help out some others too!
Facebook Support Groups
I don’t know why it took me so long after my diagnosis to turn to Facebook for support, but I am SO glad that I did. I was able to join a few different breast cancer support groups, but here are the ones that have been the most helpful to me during my journey.
Start A GoFundMe
Unfortunately for me, and many others, cancer treatment is not the most affordable thing in the world… at least not in the United States. Depending on your specific situation you may or may not need financial assistance. If you do, do not feel bad or weird about starting a GoFundMe or something similar to help raise funds to pay for your medical care. I know asking your friends and family to donate their money to you can be a hard and awkward thing to do, but you’d be surprised at how many people are eager and happy to help you out. You can start a GoFundMe fundraiser yourself or have a family/friend start it for you. GoFundMe walks you through all the steps needed to get a fundraiser setup in a matter of minutes!
