Jaclyn's Story
|
|
Jaclyn was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer at the age of 26. She was misdiagnosed twice before finally getting a doctor to listen to her. She was 5 months pregnant with her first child. Since her brother Michael is a professional musician and her sister Amber is a singer, we decided to run a benefit concert to help with the many doctor visits and treatments. The benefit was such a huge success, we ran another one six months later. Jaclyn underwent chemo treatments and then delivered her son 1 month early. She had a mastectomy and underwent radiation. She developed Lymph-edema as well as a heart condition, cardiomyopathy, due to the chemo treatments. The cancer came back at the end of 2016 and she underwent radiation again until mid December. She had a sonogram and MRI and a mass was found, at that time we were hoping it was scar tissue. Early March of 2017 she had a Lumpectomy, as well as another mastectomy. The cancer was shown to be resistant to both chemotherapy and radiation, leaving her with minimal options. She then went into remission after several years of fighting. We received the bad news again that cancer was found and metastasized early in 2018 to stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She began chemotherapy treatments again in late July of that year.
