Hi, I NEVER wanted to bring my problems to FurAffinity or my personal art platforms.. I am so, so so sorry about this. I currently have no choice in the matter though. :(

This ALSO wasn't the way I wanted to announce that I may have cancer, but likewise I have no choice. Please share this around so I can get physical early access to resources and prevention.

I desperately need a new car to get testing and surgery / biopsies. I NEVER wanted to even announce it to begin with, but the context is important so that I can finally be honest of just how serious this situation is. My neighbor crashed into my parked car on October 2nd and totaled it. This is separate from my minor fender bender back 5-6 months ago, this completely smashed the back end and bent the chassis of our car. The wheel drives weird now, indicating potential frame or axel damage.

It's undrivable, and my appointments are 30 - 45 minutes away into a major city on a major dangerous highway. She's fighting us every step of the way even with a police report and her being at fault, and insurances take time I don't have.

I may have two types of cancer (either, both, or neither! Let's hope neither!) - Oral cancer, and breast cancer.

I've been dealing with an oral tumor that may be cancerous. It has started to flare up recently. I've had a high lymphocyte count for months. Doctors aren't able to figure out what's causing it. I've had this tumor removed and biopsied once before but it grew back, and I don't trust the previous testing center's results since I was injured during removal and they did a POOR job at removal, and left parts of the tumor that eventually caused it to grow back stronger.

I am scheduled to get an emergency removal and biopsy on November 3rd. They will also take out infected teeth around the tumor.

I won't share photos of my breast, personal boundaries, but it has purple & red splotching similar to inflammatory breast cancer, and it often develops cyst-like lesions that don't heal for months and will leak. They found extra tissue. I haven't wanted to say anything because it's not 100% confirmed for either, but the reason I've been SO quiet and struggling with my health is that honestly.. my body is constantly fighting. SOMETHING is wrong, and I'm going through intensive and exhaustive testing to figure it out. I have a mammogram scheduled for October 22nd.

However at this point, if I don't have a car to get to these appointments I booked back in LATE JULY, I may never get to know whether I am dealing with cancer or not. Or to get other screening for conditions like EDS, Lupus, or otherwise to finally figure out what has been attacking my body.

I'm trying to be strong, but I'm terrified. I constantly feel like I'm a few steps away from dying and no news of what it is to even stop it. I had to reschedule my mammogram already due to me getting sick a few weeks ago and vomitting, and I still haven't fully recovered. This is another warning sign of something more serious, since I'm basically perpetually sick nowadays.

I'm sorry to unload.. I'm just at my wits end. 💔 I never, ever, EVER want to make people pity me nor do I want to make such a serious claim without confirmation. So please trust me when I say, I would never have said anything nor announced this if doctors didn't have major concerns. I've been through the wringer testing everything minor already, and all the basics have been ruled out.

If you can support my gofundme or share this journal, I would really REALLY appreciate it. Please don't feel pressured to support or give anything, I just need more eyes on the situation so I can get the treatments necessary to fix whatever is going on. Thank you, and I love all of you! I'll try to post some resells and more adoptables for my situation in the meantime. I wanted to get through my queue, but this situation takes priority over it unfortunately :(
