My name is Angel, Im 46 yrs old, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012, but I got the cancer in 2010, just after my father died of brain cancer, I had no health insurance and no one would tell me where I could get a free mammogram, so on went on with no way to fight. In September of 2012 I was told of a place called the Breast and Cervical Cancer Center, in Flint, Michigan where they would do mammograms for free, for a moment I felt free, they sent me to a surgeon who did a biopsy and sent me to have a mammogram, after two mammograms, three x-rays, and an MRI, he told me the results were positive for stage 2 Breast Cancer, Malignant neoplasm of breast, by November I had received screening of my brain, lungs, abdomin, and finally my bones, it was discovered the cancer had already metastasized (Spread) to my bones, my right hip had been fractured and I had to have a hip replacement in early December 2012, in January of 2013, I had begun to have so much pain my oncologist told me the worst thing I have every heard in my life, he said "Just go home call Hospice and WAIT TO DIE" I was devastated, behond words, but after crying for a moment I managed to ask him what about the Hippocratic Oath? He had NO Reply. I had been in medicine before getting sick, I believed in the wisdom of the medical field, and I trusted my doctors, at least until that point I did, trusting my doctor thinking I couldnt survive I did just what he told me I went home and called hospice, a week later my Aunt called me and said you need to go to your Uncles doctor, I told her that I couldnt drive yet, because of my hip replacement and I no longer had a car so I was unable to get there, she said she would pray about it and get back to me, but she wanted me to go see my Uncles oncologist, a few days later she called me back and said I have you an appointment with your Uncles oncologist Dr Fata, I will pick you up if you can make it that day. When we got to Fata's office we spent three hours talking to him and he looked at me and said "I can put you in REMISSION", I looked at my Aunt and she gave me a look like "SEE", I agreed to let him be my doctor and he started treatment immediately, my breast lump was gone with the first dose of chemo, when I returned to his office just three weeks later I had swelled up like a balloon, with water weight, and my fingers and toes were starting to go numb, he ignored what I told him and sent me home. In April of 2013, he told me I was in REMISSION, I cried, he told me those words I never thought I would hear, in May when I returned I had several questions I wanted to ask him but he stopped me and said Im sorry but youre not in Remission, NO ONE Goes into Remission. Shocked beyond belief I couldnt help but cry once more. In August of 2013 Fata, was arrested for giving chemo to people who didnt have  cancer, I really have cancer but once again I was traumatized by the situation and didnt know what to do, my Primary Care Physician told me of a new oncologist who had me get a PET Scan and blood work done so he knew for sure what I really had he couldnt trust Fata's health records even though I gave him the copy I recieved from the FBI. My new oncologist said my tumor count was down to 70 and that I didnt need chemo, put me on a pill that I could take instead of getting injections of chemo and said lets see what happens, by June of 2013, my numbers were back up in the upper 600's and I was going to have to start chemo again, after several tries of different types of chemo and having allergic reactions to the chemo Im finally on a medication that isnt giving me side effects, but Im still without transportation, to the doctors or the grocery store, my children live on the other side of the state and I cant even see my grand babies, Im still fighting the fight and can even get around without my wheel chair but I dont know how much time I have left and Im going to need to move to my oldest daughters home before I get sick and unable to take care of myself. So Im in need of help to make the move, about $5000 should be enough to get me packed and moved, I would much rather live, Im afraid to die but if you could please help me I will be very grateful. Thank you so much
