The Haba Family
Our Story
I am a mother of two wonderful girls. In 2024, I was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 3. Last month, I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Last month, I went on FMLA due to the cancer returning. This blindsided me. My diagnosis was that I was only in remission for 1 month. I've just been promoted to a Supervisor position at my job. I was thinking about buying a house. Now my whole world is turned upside down. I don't know how I will be able to afford my bills, take care of my children, and attend cancer treatment. My heart is broken into a million pieces
Family Updates
We went to the drive-through magic light show in Eagan. We had fun! This week is good. I feel 80 percent better. My next cycle of Chemotherapy starts on Friday. I am looking forward to Christmas. I am looking forward to not feeling sick during Christmas.
It was a hard week for me. I had chemotherapy on Friday. I have felt sick since then. I need to do laundry and clean, but I feel too ill. I hope to start feeling better soon. I think the good news is that I have no chemo this week so that I won't feel sick for Christmas. Everyone keeps asking, "What do I want for Christmas?" I wish not to have cancer. I want my life before cancer.
Let me tell you about a cool place! Gilda's Club. It is a place where people with cancer get together. Every Monday, I go to the Support Group for living with cancer. Once a month, a couple makes an English breakfast for us. I look forward to it. Every Monday, Trader Joe's donates flowers. Also, I look forward to this. There are many classes and activities there. Sometimes I go for the support. To be around people who understand what I am going through. Next month is a cooking and Decorating class I cant wait to take Grace to. Everything is free there. The Staff and volunteers are fantastic. There's even a therapy dog, Hank. You should stop by if you have cancer and/or know someone with cancer! I hope to see you there! Tell them Keisha sent you :-)
