She might not be cancer free. Stage 4 cancers are very serious. In breast cancer it means the cancer has metastasized - moved on to colonize other spots in the body - and the prognosis is not good, even though the person might be able to live with it for a while and get treatments. I believe that may be true for other cancers as well.

Frankly, if someone posted a GoFundMe for cancer treatment, I would look very carefully for the description of what that person actually says she has, where she is going for treatment and what that treatment might be, and how much it will cost. I had the works a few years ago and can tell you that chemo alone would have cost me about $36,000 without insurance. Add surgery and radiation, plus all the tests required, and extra doctors visits and the cost must have been fortune. Far beyond a GoFundMe campaign.

My darling sister began to invent a cancer after I was going through extensive treatment for breast cancer. I heard she was telling people about hers.

And some years before that she told another sister that she had three weeks to live. That sister was so shocked and upset that she immediately called the doctor they both use, and who she was told was treating sister one, only to be assured that sister one hadn't been in there for ages. It was a complete lie. Why? God only knows.



Oh yea, I waited a long time before I believed it... She posted pictures of her at her treatments on FB, chemo hooked up and all. With the nurses at her last chemo. Yeah, like I said, I was shocked, but according to what I've read she's cancer free.

What is she looking to fund? I don't think chemo would be started without some sort of payment in place. Insurance or medicaid. I had to clear my insurance with each hospital I went to for treatment before any was started.

It was over a year ago, I honestly don't remember... I think it might have been for lost wages??? I really don't know. I didn't donate because at the time I thought it was fake. Later I went back and searched and that's how I saw she was really in treatment and then "cancer free".
