Tina was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer on June 26, 2026. At diagnosis, the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, liver, and numerous bones throughout her body.
Tina began chemotherapy and HER2 targeted therapy in July and is continuing treatment while her oncology team works toward the best possible outcome.
There is still a long road ahead. Stage 4 cancer is not considered curable, but it is treatable, and Tina is fighting hard. Recent lab results have already brought some encouraging news, including significant improvement in her liver enzymes. Those moments of progress mean more than words can express and give her another reason to keep moving forward.
Through all of this, Tina has been surrounded by an incredible army of family, friends, coworkers, and supporters. The love, encouragement, messages, donations, and countless other acts of kindness have carried her through some incredibly difficult days. She is deeply grateful for every single one of you standing beside her.
If you would like to financially support Tina and her family, donations made through the link on this page can help with the seemingly endless expenses that come with cancer treatment - medical bills, medications, travel to appointments, household expenses, and the many unexpected costs that come with this journey. When donating, please select the option that ensures 100% of your contribution goes directly to the family.
To stay up to date on Tina’s journey, please subscribe to the “Get Updates” function on this page. This allows Tina to share updates with her entire army of support without having to individually text everyone, and lets her spend that energy where it belongs: taking care of herself.
And one small request: please help us keep things simple and manageable for Tina and her family. If you would like to send something, please consider choosing something from her wish list rather than sending additional items. The love is never too much, but the stuff can be. 💗 We especially ask that you skip cancer-themed novelty products. Your encouragement, kind words, and practical support mean so much more.
Thank you for continuing to show up for Tina. This journey is far from over, but she is not walking it alone. 🩷
