This beautiful woman is 32-year-old Brianna Russell of the Town of Tonawanda. Five days after finding out she was pregnant with her second child, she found a lump on her breast.
On June 20 she received the results of her biopsy…cancer. Chemotherapy started Aug. 1 and will continue for some time. Then surgery, childbirth and radiation.
Brianna has been through so much and will continue to fight this battle alongside her loving family. She has a high deductible health care plan and along with not being able to work during treatment, Brianna needs all the help she can get.
The community is praying for Brianna that she remains strong and gets through this so she can be here for her babies for a very long time. A GoFundMe has been created to ease the burden.
