Introducing Tracy Moskal.
Tracy was born and raised in Farmington and grew up with two sisters and one brother. She is now married with two children, an 11-year-old son, and an 8-year-old daughter. She is a lover of nature, and all of her favorite activities involve being outdoors.
In August of 2019, when Tracy was just 35 years old, she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. She had found a lump a year before her diagnosis and had monitored it herself after her initial mammogram came back negative. The news devastated her, and she felt a lot of fear about what the future might hold.
Tracy started chemotherapy in September of 2019, which she continued to undergo for six months. In February of 2020, she had surgery and then continued with immunotherapy infusions. If everything goes to plan, her therapy will be complete in November of 2020.
Tracy has been very fortunate and has a great support network of family, friends, and community. Her husband and children have been her strength throughout this ordeal. Her friends and family have kept her smiling and laughing, which is the best way to fight this battle.
Tracy has learned a lot through her ordeal. Her advice to the community is to grow through what you go through. Reach out for support when you need it, and when you're having a rough day, never give up and stay active as much as you can.
Funding through the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund, which Tracy has applied for and received two years in a row, has helped Tracy pay her medical bills and stay afloat during this time. She says that she couldn't have done this without the help of the fund.
Battling cancer requires enormous strength and resilience, which Tracy draws from her loving family and friends, and the support of her workplace, which allows her to stay connected to the community, and keeps her focused on the fight. Tracy also has a fantastic team of doctors who give her hope. She has found them to be invaluable throughout her treatment.
Your support of the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Cancer Fund helps women receive financial assistance for medical exams, diagnostic testing, medication, treatments and travel.
