- This video is for my GoFundMe account. It tells you a brief update to what has happened with my diagnosis and what is happening now. And Why I am asking for financial help right now.
To learn more about my cancer history, please continue to read.
Back in 2010 I had been diagnosed with stage 3b ER/PR positive, HER2 neg Breast cancer in my left breast. I had Chemo, Bilat Mastectomy, with expanders then implants place, Radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy plus Bilat, oopherectomy. After 2 1/2 yrs of treatment, I went 5 yrs with no KNOWN, sign of Cancer.
However, in 2016, I was diagnosed with a rare terminal melanoma. with no skin involvement. After chemo failed, a combo immunotherapy treatment every other week, kept me stable till this April 2018. I discovered a new chest wall tumor, plus a few other tumors.They said that my Breast Cancer had mutated, and returned as Metastatic (terminal) TN Breast cancer. Although my doctor insists that it is a totally different Breast Cancer from the first. Oral chemo failed. And I did Radiation for pain. My last Radiation was on Monday 11/19/18. I just stopped Taxotere due to my body not being able to tolerate the side effects anymore.Then I tried Gemzar, another failed chemo, then 3 others. Than I got an infection that took my left implant, and the doctors recommend Hospice.
I had no other options at this time, so I agreed to the Hospice. It started the same time that covid-19 lockdown took place. And after getting on the right treatments in Hospice, the infection went away. And I asked my team if I could go back to trying that other chemo, that I had not finished. But they said no. It would be too taxing on my body. I was devastated!
until my son showed me an article about a new chemo that was approved for treating triple negative breast cancer. It was later called Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy). I asked my team and they agreed for me to give it a try.
I have been doing Trodelvy for a few months now, and am about to have a Pet-scan to see how it is working.
This channel is all about the life of me and my 3 children. With our Lord leading the way, we support each other, as we fight our battles and celebrate the our victory, in a difficult world where me, a single mother who is in active treatment for not only 1, but 2 terminal cancers. I make videos about my cancer journey,personal trials, and some fun videos, and videos with my kids. Something to do to take my mind off of the cancer.
I now have a GoFundMe.com account -

I am so sorry for not loading any youtube videos recently. Besides having lots of medical issues, on top of the cancer, my charger for my laptop broke, along with my car breaking down. And the necessity for the money went to fixing my car. And raising that money, took some time. But thank God, I was able to get my car fixed, and get a new laptop charger today! So I will try to get a video loaded real soon. BTW- I have been recording things on my phone. I just haven't been able to upload, and edit these videos. So I will work on those, real soon. I have also been posting on my Instagram, which is posted below. And I also started a TicToc account. You can find me at @thrivingtammyg or simply under my name Tammy Grosso I have quite a few video's on this too. I was also updating on this account, and my instagram, when I was unable to make my CZcams videos. So you might want to check them out, to get up to date with what has been happening with me, over the past few weeks. And I am quite surprised at how many people have been following me on that account. And the comments have been very supportive too, thank God! Thank you for your continued comments, support, and prayers. Love ya'll!!!
Dear Tammy. You don't have to explain yourself, we are all just really happy to know that your doing okay. You are in all of our thoughts and prayers
You're such a warrior, Tammy!
Your determination and can-do attitude is astounding.....beyond inspirational!! God knows how beautiful your heart and soul are, rest assured! Thank you for sharing your journey, I watch channels like this hoping to find a reason to continue living.
You have one of the most beautiful auras!!! I shall call you "Sunshine".
Tammy, I was diagnosed with fungating Triple Negative Breast cancer and was put in pallative care. I stop taking the chemo/radiation etc and go for natural. I took MMS and Indian herb and now I can see good improvement.
Prayers up for you sweet lady.

Bless your heart Tammy, I sincerely hope you raise the money needed to get your car back on the road and some more - you deserve it.
God bless you Tammy.🙏
I had not been feeling well yesterday, and had a Pet-Scan today, and my father got out of rehab from having a stroke today. So I haven't checked my GoFundMe yet. Then I saw you and Hugo Rodriguez's comments. I didn't know that anyone had donated till reading these comments. I couldn't believe that 11 people donated. I am so thankful. Thank you for making my day!!!!
You have my prayers Tammy, you are an amazing God loving woman. hang in there . The last thing you need is worry about money,
How are you hun...it's been a month... bit worried...hope u r ok
It's been now two months
2 months since the last update? Anyone know how she's doing?
Thank you for your concern. I did post another video after this, and have been posting small updates on my new TikTok account. However, both my son and I contracted Covid-19, 3 wks ago. It isn't easy, but not as bad as I have seen some people become. I truly believe that the fact that i had to take care of my son, help me get up and kept me from getting sicker, like getting Covid induced pneumonia. I am praying that my test tomorrow comes back negative. I can't go back to chemo, if I am still positive. I do continue to have some of the symptoms like constant hot and cold flashes, week and painful muscles, fatigue, a weird burning on my skin, and pain every morning, in my lower back. This could possible be my kidney. Which could be some injury from covid, or pain from my cancer in my kidneys growing, since I haven't had chemo in about a month. Which is why I have to test negative tomorrow, and go back to chemo on Monday. Please stay save, and have a wonderful holiday season.
@@TammyGrosso aww, you took time to reply to me, thank you so much! I was worrying about you, guess it's the mama in me.....you are a beautiful soul. I've never seen anyone fight like you do girl! KEEP ROCKING AND ROLLING! You and your sweet kids are in my prayers~~~~~
It is so sad that in the greatest country in the world people worry about medical bills instead of their health! SHAME!
You’re such a sweet, beautiful woman. I really hope you’re able to make enough money, I’m so sorry I couldn’t donate ); I send you all my best wishes and prayers
Thank you for your kid words, best wishes and prayers, I believe they all work together for good.

Thank you so much!!!
How do I donate

Thank you so much Aunt Doris. Honestly, it was my moms idea to take it to social media, and to update my GoFundMe with this info. I really hesitated. But I thought about my kids more, and how it was keeping me from seeing them. Then I knew I had to do it. And I am so glad I did. I didn't expect much. And this really blows my mind! I also have some info that I will be telling everyone, once I tell my mom and my kids. Luv you and Uncle Rick!
@@hayleym82 Thank you for helping her.
I am also hesitant to donate to go fund me accounts, having said that, I would gladly send money to your car repair shop for your repairs, or order any medical supplies that you may need. Or send a check to your hospital towards ant outstanding balance. While I think it's safe to say that most of us have been struggling financially during the pandemic. It is nice to give a little when we can.
Tammy, I want to donate but I do not like that gofundme takes 10%. My bank uses zelle. Do you by chance have zelle?
@Hugo Rodriguez last year they charged donors 10% of the donations
Why not just ask her the address for the hospital where the medical bills are owed and just send them a check directly
I now also have CashApp and Venmo. If you like one of these better, let me know. And I will give you the info for the one you prefer
@@TammyGrosso i would rather send a check directly to the hospital where you owe money and a copy of your medical bill with your personal info blocked out. If that's not possible then I will just pass your information on. Sorry I trust no one because someone tried to scam me after I was ready to help. I know you are really sick and I hope you get better but I have trust issues. If you don't feel comfortable giving the copy of your medical bill I understand. I will just share your information and my coworkers would decide if they wish to donate. Best of luck
