Hello my name is June. I've been on my cancer journey for as long as it's been in my family. Mother died of Cancer 2012, Father Died of Cancer 1991, Step-father 2004, lastly my Grandmother in 2016. My life has been surrounded by this disease. Unfortunately it would touch me twice in 2013 and presently. I've thought long and hard about how I wanted to approach this disease. It's been an ungoing force looking at me since my parents died, like a race I'm trying to beat it to the finish line!

Cancer represents a very specific, emotional uniqueness of your body failing you, generally through no fault of your own. But please know that no matter how hard or bad you believe your situation to be, there is somebody out there who's got it worse.

When I was initially diagnosed with cancer, I questioned God's reasoning for giving me such a debilitating disease. But then it dawned on me: He chose me to give this disease because He knew that I could handle it!

You must realize that having cancer affects not only you, but everyone who cares for you as well. I had realized this after only one year of treatment, but I don't think I've ever truly understood how hard the experience was for my family. I get up everyday for them, they love me. 

I want to show people that even a disease like this cannot break my spirits. In fact, I want to make people feel what I feel ...lucky to experience this day to day routine we call "life." I want to be a source of inspiration to people who think that life has dealt them an unfair hand. Because if you have your health as I will, then be thankful because not everyone has that luxury! So what if I don't have Christmas this year! I have LIFE!

So when someone says, "I feel bad for you, I bet your having it rough?!" Nah. I'm a tough cookie. Except for the cancer, I'm fine. 

I honestly know when people see fundraisers they think about it. I'm throwing it out there my friends & family. All my emotions out there as well, I am not going to sugar coat or beat around the bush when I say I truely need your help. I'm doing a different type of onlyfans! How bout you be a fan of helping me beat this poison "Cancer?" I laugh and would say "I can-survive" but things are hard these days. I'm moving amidst the choas of being sick. I definitely understand times are hard, very hard. So, I'm here asking please for a $1 Donation to help me rid this disease. I have to come up with funds for my biopsy, MRI’s, trip to Vanderbilt Hospital and cost of just trying to financially live through this time of hardship. If you can't help, words of encouragement will really help & suffice. Lord knows I need anything you can offer friends & family. πŸ™ much love. Thank you!

Hello everyone. I would like to give a quick update on my medical condition. These last 2 weeks have been extremely trying with the snow storm we had and having to struggle with medical health. 

My picc line got infected and we were snowed in the ambulance couldn’t access the roads. When we were able to go to the er due to the roads being dangerous. While we were walking to my car I slipped and suffered a concussion whereas my picc line shifted. It was a serious issue. Infections and blood clots were found and a decision to take out the picc line out and insert a chest port was made. We wanted everyone to know your continued support in helping me with my medical journey has been so helpful. The snowstorm put my husband out of work for nearly two weeks, as a driver for a moving company he was put on hold till it was safe to drive the roads.

Drs are telling me the cancer has moved to my bile duct, my drs are examining and 8.5cm obstruction within my bile duct. I have no gall bladder, so they are going to do an MRI and also investigate my pancreas due to it being obscured. I would to thank everyone! My most deepest gratitude for your incredible generosity and thoughtfulness. Your selfless actions have touched my heart and will make a long lasting impact on my life. Your willingness to give and your thoughtful gestures have shown me the true meaning of kindness not only for a life supporting procedures

Hello family & friends,

Just updating you all with some bad news. On May 31st I had to do an ultrasound due to coughing and pooping up blood. My condition is now worsening. I have done everything I could holistically and will continue to keep taking my supplements. Unfortunately due to my stomach having ulcers and the tumor in my gastric pouch, I have been bleeding and leaking acids. The only way to fixing this is to do two (2) more surgeries on the 19th & 28th. I'm so scared due to this being my 5th one in less than 2 years. The other scary situation is not being able to figure out paying my surgeries due to funds. Again it costs. Their are days that giving up would be easy but NOT an option. I've had to raise my fundraising goal to help the cost of my down payment to proceed with the surgery. It's going to be so hard due  to my husband Julio has to take time off to help me get better for the next surgery on the 28th. If your able to help I would appreciate it immensely πŸ™ thank you in advance. June & family.

Hello friends and family!

I'm on my 5th day of my holistic journey. Its been hard and very painful. But I'm very optimistic. Doctors say it's spreading to my bladder and the ulcers are not taking to the antibiotics. I've been on 9 so far. I'm taking alot of great vitamins to counter act. I have stopped going to the ER. It's getting expensive. If anyone knows and would like to add to my Vitamin regiment, I'd appreciate it so much. Again thank you for following my updates. 

Love, Peace & Harmony.

Today I got a call from the Doctor who advise me that my swelling is part of not doing my immunotherapy. To add to the problem my chronic Gastritis is producing a lot of peptic ulcers, making my B12 very deficient and ferritin is extremely low and making me weakened. My spirits are low but my will is stronger. I am aware that this means it maybe a bad symptom, but I'm going keep going till I find a stronger holistic cure & approach. Pray for me πŸ€žπŸ™
