On September 23, 2013 Traci was diagnosed with breast cancer. She now faces a scary journey herself battling Stage 1, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, on October 23, 2013 her cancer was upgraded to Stage 3B, which means it has metastasized to her lymph nodes. Traci is a strong and fearless wife and mother of four children. Her work is never done but still smiles through it all. Her family stands behind her as she begins her battle.
The sad fact of the matter is that cancer is expensive. It only adds insult to injury. This family who asks for nothing now needs help to get through this difficult process. There are costs incurred that health insurance just does not cover. These costs include certain tests and treatment co-pays, nutritional and supplemental and transportation costs. One genetic test alone costs close to $4,000. Even though Tom and Traci are proud members of the hard working class, costs like this can break a family.
